It is loosely organized but the chaos is part of the energy. tmm
Didn't seem as bad as everyone was making it out to be. Shutting down a lane made traffic a mess but I didn't see a ton of tickets being wrote. I got one but I'm not mad about it. The burnout was ticket worthy.
When did they shut down to one lane? I was there til after 10 and it was still two lanes. I was at red lobster intersection.
Maybe 100 yards past that intersection. When I was on my way out I saw a lot of guys cruising before it though

I have in years past gone either to Carlisle or the Nats.
This year I did both, and think I'm done with the Nats even though it's only a couple of hours away.
Yes it's cars parked all over the place but what got me this year was:
$80 for my son and me to get in with our car for 1 day.
That's way too much, I will argue that all day with anyone.
No "show judging", no racing, and just to park in a grass field.
The food was mentioned, I won't go more into that.
The porta pots were a mess, you may tip a crew at Carlisle but I'll do that all day over using the sewer that was the bathrooms on Saturday.
The event does just feel very thrown together, no entertainment, just no value for $80.
If anybody asks Carlisle or Nats I'll tell them Carlisle 100%
Not to high jack just saw this thread and had to vent
Only thing that ticked me off was no fast lane for pre-registered cars coming in, that was dumb.
Which car were you in?
and no $2 cheese sandwiches!
lmao!!!
I had a good time meet a lot of cool guys and gals everything was great until I got my show cart got jack lol hemi,mark,hemi denny I know who involve
The Nats are a far cry from what they were 20 years ago. I didn't bother going again this year after seeing it last year. It's still a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but not like it was in the early '90s. Back then you couldn't even hope to see it all in 2 or 3 days it was so huge.
what's just who??
Friday drags seemed kind of slapped together, long pauses between sets, Saturday was much better. Was hoping to see more than just 5 FAST cars down the track. Who ever had the hemi demon under the fabo tent all I have to say is "Wow!". Did anyone see what the dyno numbers were on the graveyard carz Daytona? I seen it in line but didn't get to see it up there. I didn't get to stop and talk to anyone in the fabo tent my group seemed to be on a mission all weekend.
i went to nats since 90s since before indy nats. seems like every year it gets worse no exibition cars no pro stocks no wheel standers no hemi shoot out with ss hemi cars. very dissapointing
