    If I show these AI images to my wife she'll probably slap me. Can't imagine her driving this to the office everyday... :rofl:

    I liked it. Maybe a couple thousand people. Their 2 day events might draw more? We were fairly spread out camping and there was more than enough room inside the venue.
    20250719_204335.jpgThey could've used a few more facilities but it was put together well. Had around a dozen vendors, a general store....

    Doesn't mean I should've...

    I'm sorry, but I almost fell off my chair when I read that.



    It's all about looking cool.

    Is Watkins Glen along the way by chance?
    I mean, a guy would have to be into racing and stuff.

    or Grateful Dead history, when the Rolling Stones made it a big spectacle and the Hell' Angel's security, killed a man.

    It's what the song New Speedway Boogie is about and Fire on the Mountain was born out of that day.

    Yeah, I should look into that. I was already contemplating Lake Placid on the way back from the Boston area. Little tour of the Adirondack Mtns... Good idea!

    This is another spot I was considering for the ride back with the wife. She's not into racing, but that's obviously not all that's there. I'll have to check the race calendar there. Thanks!

    Probably. I forget shchlit. :rasta:

    Ya. Watkins Glenn was the big one. Bigger than Woodstock yet didn't get much publicity.

    If I was starting a fresh build with a different truck, I would consider it.

    Please note I said different truck and not a New Truck.
