Muscle Cars At The Strip Las Vegas

-
I haven't been back since their 3rd show.
Some shows have an "atmosphere" where it just feels right for the occasion. It is an intangible feeling where the cars look great, the people are friendly, the scenery nearby is beautiful and all signs point to a good time.
For me, Van Nuys and Spring and Fall Fling are the tops.
I didn't feel all that "right" at this Las Vegas show. I can't explain it fully but it just didn't feel right despite some very nice cars, a dragstrip and decent weather. Maybe it is the desert landscape that didn't sit well with me. I was at the Mopar Nationals in Columbus in 2004. I knew almost nobody there so it felt like I was dropped into witness relocation situation. The cars were great, fantastic swap meet and some of the nicest people that I ever met. Brice road was still hopping then too.

I agree with this... Only reason I've been to MATS as often as I have is I have a business client with a facility just off Craig Road near "The Cannery" I've been able to adjust the timing of my visits to match up with MATS six times... Plus I attended twice on my own, once I took my car & once I took a bunch of parts...
 
Did 15 straight years of all 3 days.The last 4 years have been bad for me. Health and other road blocks kept me from the enjoyment of many friends that I have met at the show. Hopefully 2025 will be better for me.
HemiSSDart is one that I always enjoy hanging out with.
It may be the Bourbon nights.....

I missed seeing you the last few years, at lease we caught up when you sold your cars and trailer and I got the transport! Hope we have a great time this year!
