Re: NAT, S Date ?
Sorry guys but I got to put in for time off for next year now any idea of a date for NATS thanx..
We will work on that ASAP and let you and everyone know.
Won't it be an off year for events like shindig and homecoming?
Normally yes, but Nats was postponed this year for multiple reasons.
The last word I heard was Nats is next year and hopfully Homecoming will be the next !:tup:
Well technically you are right, it will be next year, 2016. Homecoming would be this year but discussions with Tony has lead us to believe the Michigan guys will be postponing Homecoming, or possibly still do it but it wont conflict with Nats, nothing has been written in stone yet,we cannot speak for their event and the Nats committee does not want to step on any toes. All I can say is Nats & Homecoming committees have been talking to each other for months now.
Before Nats was even postponed earlier this year, it was discussed whether it would be rude of us to hold Nats this year and there was no problem with that. In fact, many of the Homecoming members have mentioned contributing to some key parts of the 2016 Nats.
Didn't the annual Carlisle event (with it being better coordinated and attended) replace Nats from now on :dunno:
No.
Better coordinated, sure, Tom & Sportmachines has done an excellent job at getting the space, arranging our own section and promoting it for us SyTy owners, but its still a Carlisle Event. Not to take away from the work that Tom has done, but its a pre-existing show that we are a part of, not our own show.
It has not and will not replace Nats, that has already been discussed publicly on here as well as privately between Tom and committee members.
As for better attended, when is the last time you attended Nats? Have you ever gone to Carlisle? Not to make this into a pissing match, but the last Nats probably had 2x the trucks this years Carlisle did. Carlisle 2014 was probably more comparable to Nats however, so I'm not knocking either show, but to make a flat out statement that attendance is better is just wrong.
