Pate Swap Meet

Post by Truckrat »

Well here we are already half a month into 2016. Everyone is tired of the
cold weather and ready to get outside. Since no one had posted anything on
here for this new year, let me be the first.

The 2016 Pate Swap Meet (Or as we like to call it....''Mini Slick Stock South'')
will be Thursday April 28 thru Sunday May 1 this year. Our spaces will be in the
same location as last year, Row 11 & 12 between Petty Place and Rutherford Road.
Pre Registration will end on March 31 if you don't have spaces and want them.

Hope to see all the regulars and some new faces too. We always have a good time
and find a lot of cool stuff.

For any other specific details about Pate go to...Pateswapmeet.com

See ya there, TR.

There are several hotels across the Interstate from the track (may be more this year). A lot of us stay in the I35/ Alliance Airport corridor. There's a wide choice of hotels there, and it is convenient to our preferred breakfast meetings location. The caveat, of course, is, if possible, book early, even if you may need to change or cancel.

Curious if any of the members going to the show have an item list of what they are bringing in case some of us out of towners want dibs.

Texas Motor Speedway, City of Fort Worth (Roanoke), Texas, 20 miles north of downtown Fort Worth. As TR listed; pateswapmeet.com
An excerpt from a statement by one of the "old-timers", the entirety of which can be found under "history" on the Pate site:
"The weather at Pate will be extreme. At the present, we do not know extreme what Bring shorts and light shirts for extreme heat. Bring winter wear for extreme cold. Bring lots of rain gear. Be prepared for high winds and mud. Bring it all, as you may need all of it in one weekend" I might add, comfortable, sturdy shoes are de riguer as well! Come to town hungry, we eat well to maintain stamina!

Hello all-
This will be my first Pate visit. I know that I haven't been a regular but, I hope to meet a few of you now that I have (sort of) made the move from CA to North TX. I will come around and introduce myself. I accepted a position with Peterbilt Motors in Denton and hope to make No. TX home. My Wife and I are looking for property, house and a shop as I type this. My hotrod slick and race car are both in OK but, will come down as soon as we have a place to secure them; I am living in the RV in Sanger and commuting to work until we can find a place. So I won't likely have the slick with me but, I plan on coming down and enjoying the event I have heard so much about over the years.

Enjoyed it alot. Moreso the company than the swap meet. Somehow I ended up bringing more stuff home as well as all the stuff I took... :oops:

Great group of guys. Lots of problems sold in our BS sessions. Can't begin to imagine what we will cure at SS. :cheers:

I hope Ruth will post some of the pics on here for all to enjoy. :mrgreen:
