    I was thinking about going down for Saturday, but my wife surprised me with a trip to Chicago for my birthday that same weekend.

    Really. From what my buddy has said he guessed they were bout the same. Either way Nats is worth it, especially if you already live in the state. I went in 2010 and it was great. Viper guys were good company and the Jegs suite was a nice resort from the heat.

    Maybe I will see you out driving about. I heard there are some good cruising spots after the show ends each night.

    Yes sir, we're heading over Thursday afternoon with at least 2 trucks, hopefully 3, and couple challengers. As has already been said, the Mopar Nationals is One of the best midwest shows each year and the cruises both Friday and Saturday nights are fun... The trks we're bringing will be parked near the tower with the Vipers, stop by and say hello, and if you're inside the grounds with a 10 then you're welcome to park with us if you'd like... Looking forward seeing some y'all there...

    I am driving the truck over, but leaving Friday morning. I had not planned on parking inside the event, as I have not ever done so before. What all is required to get inside with your truck?
    Thanks, and either way, will try to find your group and stop by to say hello.

    not sure what the entry fee is for registering at the show, we pre registered for $65. per vehicle and its worth it to be able to drive right in with coolers, chairs etc.... and not having to walk out to the parking lots when buy something is a plus also...we're staying on brice road in Reynoldsburg, and always look forward to meeting other SRT10 owners...

    Looks like 80 at the gate and you can drive in. I will plan on this. I have not been there before, do they let you drive and park where you want, or do they direct you to an open spot? I plan on getting there about noon on Friday, will there still be spots open? Once in, can you drive out and in again. I would have to leave about 4 to check into the hotel, then would drive back.

    I am such a noob at the car show thing

    It is possible to leave and get back in after buying your window sticker, but since it usually closes around 6, I'd suggest calling it a today once you leave Friday and being back Saturday morning... as for being directed where to park I just tell em I'm with the Vipers and they always just wave me thru. Getting to the Viper tent is easy b/c it's near the tower by the starting line of the track but takes a lil patience b/c the crowd of people walking around...
