Thanks Wayne! That's a great photo!! thumbs_up I'll use this in the News Corner today. Maybe also link folks back to this page ... or at least the whole SoBo Side Lot.

(I needed to put the cropped, resized image here so I have a place to pull it from the the "poster.")

Wayne, maybe at some point, you can get a caption for that image -- especially the people and truck info.

Got a few pictures today and third is going to be a big show. 240 trucks have preregistered and about 25 checked in today.
Dave the show coordinator set us up in a premo spot right next to the stage and our own area to park in.
Craig and Linda did a great job fixing up the burgers and dogs for dinner tonight at one of the camp grounds pavilions with plenty of lies and stories being shared. Tomorrow will be a great day with really nice weather and even more AD trucks.

cry Who are these people?? And who has what truck(s)?
It's great to see a variety of Stovebolt t-shirts and flags. Can anyone get a good shot of the current t-shirt, with a nifty Stovebolt truck???
