Yes, not left with many options this year... Had to leave at 4am, was a good 5 hour drive, but we made it through the cities and past Rogers by 6am, so no traffic. Nearest show I know of next weekend is in Missouri, but that’s only 5 hours too.

Star of the show no doubt!

Looks to me like you could use to take a little slack out of your steering chains though?!?

It’s the springs stretching, ground is far too rough for this little guy. Before I added the springs I was constantly breaking chains.

I have also found the springs to be necessary.

Very impressive Nick. I am also impressed that you found a show to go to! They have been few and far between this year.

That was the bigger one in Canada  ;)  This one was ordered online and only involved an angry trip to DHL at the airport to figure out why they weren’t delivering my steamer!  :D

Most have involved long drives... this show was 5 hours away and took place at a pumpkin patch/old farm. The other two I’ve made it to were both in Iowa and I’m thinking about going to one in Missouri depending on the weather. Unfortunately, I had to miss two good ones in North Dakota and a private one in South Dakota (home of the 150 HP case).
