Some info

How many people usually go to this thing. I'm from central Wisconsin, if I don't come with a friend am I gonna be sitting by myself or is this a pretty fun deal where everyone is pretty darn social and fun? I'm a youngin' and don't want to get left out. Plus, where do I sleep? I heard something about camp grounds?

True to that, but Denny doesn't always have what your looking for! He's had about 90% of the things that I've needed, and is very reasonable when you get things from him! He's great to have less than five minutes from my house too! But there are somethings that someone may have that is rare or something that Denny wouldn't normally carry or just an extra piece laying around that someone may want to try and get rid of there. Not to take away from Denny's selling, but to maybe get that extra few bucks to buy something that Denny has that you may need!

That was an interesting post. I kinda wanted to know if this was a social fun thing and if everyone fits right in and gets along. I'm in high school, if I come down by myself, am I gonna be sitting by myself? Or is this a big bash and everyone hangs out and whatnot?

Big Bash and everyone hangs out. Last year was my first year going, and I enjoyed it. Met a bunch of people, learned a bunch about the cars, and got a bunch of really cool ideas and pictures. Don't be worried to go, you'll enjoy it and meet a bunch of cool people. I am personally sure if I'll be making it yet or not. All depends on how long it takes to put the bird back together now!

it is a fairly social event because we all have the same interest in the same cars. basically I just walk around and talk to people about their cars and what they have done to modify them. I also can talk about my own car to no end so pretty much all you have to do is say who's car is this and you will meet people.

Matt, its only cause you corn fed boys are cute lol

(take offense to that, I am a small town boy lol when i was little, nothing was here)

Nah, I like you guys, you should feel priviledged :-)

First year was 35-45 cars. Second year was 70+ and last year was a little below that?

Not sure on exact numbers, but always something to see and new folks to meet, who for the most part have been pretty cool as well.

later
Jeremy
