Yes, there should be a bunch of us there. That's our annual "Slick Stock South". The Slick 60's group (from Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, etc) has 22 spaces reserved together and many more members will be dropping by to visit during the weekend. We're between 11th and 12th Streets...

it doesn't take much for you to learn...just practice its all it takes you will eventually get better at it.

wish i was. probably could make a decent amount of $ if i hauled a full load of parts down there. you should man, i heard its suppose to be really big!
