Thank you to everyone who welcomed us into this amazing club. You are definitely like family and made us first timers feel right at home. We did learn one thing this weekend, next time we’re not waiting until Thursday to get there, we’re coming earlier in the week. We are home safe and sound and we hope to see as many as possible in Alton. - Karen Presnell-Powell

The kiwis are nearly on their way. We had such an amazing time in Bowling Green. Thank you to each and every one of you for making our trip so special with your love and friendship we are welcomed with when we visit. I'm surely going to miss you all, but have wonderful family memories to take home and cherish until we come together again. - Julie Mulrooney

I'd like to give a big shout out to all who made this event possible and also to the Bowling Green PD for putting up with our shenanigans! - Sue Peck

What a great group of folks!! Had a great time at the show in Bowling Green! I hope you’ll all be back soon. Thanks to Tim Taylor for a quick blast down Wilkinson Trace! - John K Gott

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone in the NTBA family for making me feel so welcome and part of a very close knit group. It was such a refreshing change from the normal carshow scene. It was a pleasure to socialize and eat an enormous amount of ice cream with all of you. I truly look forward to the next time we can all get together. Again, thanks for all of the new stories and memories. My wife doesn’t quite understand why I have a New Zealand accent yet, but I’m sure it will get sorted out. Ya’ll are a wonderful “family” indeed. - David Malone

Re: Comments from Bowling Green . . .
The Olejarczyk's and the Flamin' Fink made it home safely, albeit late, due to heavy rain from Pigeon Forge to home.
We had a great time at the NATS! The track time was probably the highlight of the event! Loved Chaney Farms Dairy for nightly ice cream trips!!!
Laurie is bushed after The Raffle, 50/50 and room raffle!! She slept in today, which is very unusual for her!
Loved seeing old friends and making new friends!
Always a treat to spend time with Julie and Danny!
Had a lot of fun talking to all the gear-heads at the Show & Shine!
It was great to see four cars from the Carolina T's attend this event!
The revised cruise protocol for cruises worked VERY well! Tip of the hat to whoever came up with the revision!
Finally, I would like to thanks all of the members for their suggestion on how to resolve my "Death Wobble" issue. At speeds above 60, the front end shakes badly up to the steering wheel. My current check list includes:
- Check Toe In/Out
- Re-balance front tires
- Verify all suspension fasteners are tight
- Remove shock absorbers and test
- Check suspension Heim joints for play
- Mickey Thompson flame pattern front tires - Out of round?
Any other things that I should add to the list?

Mark, I'm guessing tires. I had a similar problem a couple of years ago, and a new set of well balanced front tires cured it.

All three Buckets I have had liked Toe Out somewhere less than 1/8 inch. I bet that will make that thing drive like a dream....

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS

check caster.not enough negative caster can cause high speed wobble.fixed several old gassers by adjusting caster.
