    I used to go Friday and Saturday but Saturday is just way too busy and crowded for me. I like going on Thursday because there are not many people there and yu can actually talk with the reps and see the new trucks.

    I had planned on it but now the only way it'll happen is with a little luck. Ok maybe a lot of luck! If not maybe some of you that do can take pics of anything worth writing about.

    Thursday and Friday. If you are taking your truck I hear the increased security to deal with the theft issues.

    I've never taken my truck. I've heard that finding a load out of the area is impossible, plus it's only a 4hr drive from the house.

    Was going to try to get there late Thursday but screwed around too late to get a room. Going there Friday and heading back home Sunday. Will just have to deal with the Sat crowds as we'll probably not be there till Fri afternoon.

    Driver a good distance on Thursday, grab cheap motel and get up early on Friday so you can make the show opening. That's a b itch of a drive then the show.
