Being held at the Budweiser plant in Merrimack, NH from 10:00-3:00.
It's an annual show, and tends to have a pretty big turnout.
Plus you get to go tour the plant and stuff.

sorry about the short notice, I just found out yesterday.
since its a street rod show..does that mean we have to be just spectators?

dunno. Ben said he's entering his car into the show (mostly to get some For Sale recognition).
I'm not interested in showing, just lookin' and possibly drinkin'.

I've been there at least two times...might be three (I used to live in Merrimack). Definately a cool place to check out on a weekend.

Can we enter the show with our cars? I might be up for that too!

as far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be any stipulation as to who can enter their cars or not.
I'm assuming you can register at the door since there's no mention of preregistration.

Most "Cruise Nights" lately include some "Low Riders" and "Rice" so I don't see why we can't enter our
"Limited Production Specialty Cars".

I grew up in Bedford, MA...but my first house (that I owned) was on Fairway Drive...off of Back River Road. That was back in like '92 I think, and I only lived there for a couple of years...don't ask...It's an ex-wife thing. :rolleyes: Merrimack is a great town...reminded me of Bedford, MA alot.

I remember three things the most about Merrimack:

- Merrimack House of Pizza has the best pizza in town. laugh
- The porn section of Olympic Video is top notch! eek
- The girls in bikinis selling hot dogs outside the gas station next to 7-Eleven rocked my world every Summer!!! cool eek laugh

I used to live on Wire Road in Merrimack. That was back in the day. I barely remember it now!
Posted By: frenchblueC2 Re: Street Rod show, 8/4/02 - 07/31/02 08:53 PM
Fairway Drive?
haha that's where Ben (RoushSC) lives.
that's pretty neat.
small world.

Wire road isn't too far away from there either.

neat smile

Ed... Is Billy's new within the last 8 or so years? I don't remember that place...wait, is that the one down by the Quaker State quick lube place?

Tell your bud @ Olympic to keep up the good work...good flix, right Ed? wink

I forget the name of the gas station (Citgo?), but when you come exit 12 and take a right...over the bridge...it was across the stree to the right a little. They had this little hod dog cart on the right side. It was awesome! They (two girls) stood on this little platform behind the cart so that you would get the right "perspective"...if ya know what I mean, and I think ya do. They wore the best kind of bikini...teeny, teeny, teeny! eek

Zack... I work with a guy who lives on Wire Road now. That's a really pretty street...probably the nicest in town...at least it was.

OH WAIT!!! I just remembered another awesome thing about Merrimack...

KING KONE!!!

OH HELL YEAH! I'M TOTALLY DOWN FOR THAT.
haha big caravan of SVT's pull in to King Kone.
(I suggest we park on the side of the road if we can manage cuz the parking there sucks--the shoulder across the street IIRC is pretty wide for parking on)

Rob, if you head towards Contry Club on Fairway, ben's is 2nd to last on the left.

I used to live on the opposite side of town, in fact I had a Nashua telephone number. You know where the South Merrimack Fire station is? The road directly accross from it (Peter Rd.) is where I grew up.

I remember exactly where that is.

So who all is going on Sunday?

Mike, your going but not with yout CSVT right? I mean your still forbidding yourself from driving it...no?

wink
Posted By: CobraR Re: Street Rod show, 8/4/02 - 08/01/02 03:05 PM
I'm grounded from driving it for the f of it, but there is a reason to bring it if there are lots of other bringing theirs.
Posted By: frenchblueC2 Re: Street Rod show, 8/4/02 - 08/05/02 04:00 AM
didn't see any of you today.
I think I may have seen rob's SVT parked in the parking lot, but I never saw no meester Rob.

we never did the tour.
we just walked around and sat in the shade not too far from the cars.
I still had fun despite the heat.
Posted By: MonkeyBiz Re: Street Rod show, 8/4/02 - 08/05/02 01:50 PM
I was there with the g/f from about 12:15 'til about 1:15. I saw one silver CSVT in the parking lot with a tow bar connected to the front (???). Anyone?

It was hot as hell and (being my first trip to that particular car show) I realized as soon as we started walking around that there was no way I was going to find anyone I knew there. That show was huge! Very nice collection of cars...we could easily have entered our cars in that show. Would have been a nice representation too...maybe next year???

Kim, did you guys go to King Kone after? We did...YUM!!!

laugh
Posted By: frenchblueC2 Re: Street Rod show, 8/4/02 - 08/05/02 02:03 PM
yep we sure did.
we stayed til probably 10 after 3 and then headed straight for king kone.

Why didn't you stop in Ed? Doug and Sue sampled my Margaritas on Saturday after spending the day on the beach. cool
Posted By: CueballSVT Re: Street Rod show, 8/4/02 - 08/05/02 04:55 PM
Yuh - darned good margaritas. Good thing they weren't the size of the Roadhouse's, or I would have had to take a nap before driving home. Thanks for the hospitality Dick. We'll have to check into those courses in Southern Maine!
