I'm going, will be at the repair facility. Our club, Henry's A's from Livermore, CA is manning the repair from the day of arrival until Sunday when all leave. We don't do the work but provide you with some of the tools you may need. The labor comes from the members of your club or whomsoever elects to assist you. Our rules keep us from becoming involved in the actual work. (NCRG and MAFCA) We will offer advice. There will be a vendor on site with a fair representation of the likely needed repair parts, but that will be a limited supply with (hopefully) overnight available from the major vendors. That is the plan that I have presented to the body so far. I will bring an engine hoist and there may be someone with an engine available, though there has been no contact from such a person with me to date. I would welcome someone to step up and bring some. We had eight at the "Reno Date in 98" event and all were purchased and installed. I had to send a relative home on a trailer, as I had no more engines to offer.

I found that most repairs in 1998 involved modification done to the Model A's.

do you need to be a member to come and look at the cars?

[Doug Linden]

I will be attending, albeit without my Model A. I look forward to seeing members from all over, always great fun.

[glenn in camino]

My wife and I will be there along with our 29 coupe for judging,and tons of model A parts from my 45 year collection garage clean-out for the huge swap meet. Hope to see you all there.

Brendan, you just need to be a member to participate. You can just look at the cars if you want.

Mike.

Ps I may be going. Depends on work.

Capitol A's doing the Hubley races..

[Jim/GA]

I will be there.

I think organizing a Ford Barn meeting is a great idea! I'd like to meet some of you guys IRL for a change!

[daveymc29]

Well lets just do a meeting of Barners. Come to the East parking lot and look me up at the repair facility. We can have it there and pass on all this great knowledge to the masses.

Dave Mc Arthur (It's okay, I'm the head honch out there for this event.)

[KenCoupe]

I plan on being there. Driving up Hwy 395 to get there should be nice.

[SAJ]

Eight of us from Auckland NZ coming so far including wives. looking forward to meeting other Barners. Missed out Ford Barn meetings at the last 2 MAFCA meets due to bus trips getting in late from events.

How many cars do they usually have at the meet?

What are the dates?

[quickchange]

As an idea how about we get together with our wives one evening for a meal & drinks at the venue , introduce your self, Tells us your vehicle etc, , We did this at one of the regional meets couple of years ago , worked well, Course some of us are now a little older, Think I can come up with say stick on name tag , Closer to the time sure we can put something together if enough interested, What do you all think. ??

June 24-29 at the Nugget Resort in Sparks outside Reno.

[daveymc29]

Back in 1998 we had about 500 cars as I recall. Seven or so 29 De Luxe Delivery's and four or five of the real expensive ones that had the driver out in the air with a canvas over him and the passengers in the luxury box behind. Town Sedan? Or some such, real luxury cars. One was unmolested. There is a projection that indicates probably a few more this coming June. You don't have to be a member to see the ones outside, but the judged cars may be somewhat hard to see if not a member. If you are not presently a member, mafca is offering a free membership to introduce you to the club, most local clubs have had the paperwork to get you signed up. Might check the mafca.com site?

[Brentwood Bob]

Will be at the repair tent with Dave.

Do you know anything about the Nugget? I assume it's part of the Nugget Hotel and Casino In Las Vegas. The Nugget was Steve Wynn's first Casino in Downtown Las Vegas which he modernized and sold before he built his own Casino.

We always stay at the Peppermill Hotel & Casino in Reno which participates in the Hot August Nights Car Show every summer.

I do not believe the Sparks and Vegas casinos are connected.
The convention will be in Sparks.... not Reno. But they are like sister cities.
We stayed at the Nugget several times in recent months.
Rooms recently freshened up.
The convention got a great price for these rooms.
Seriously doubt anyone will be disappointed.
