Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

I sure wish the Iowa boys were showing up.... I'd like to see a Deuce or three!

The last time the Nationals were at Belterra, Marlin made my summer by letting me drive (and flog a little bit) his Deuce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif (Thanks Marlin!)

I will be there with a half dozen of us from Northern California!I will first fly into Denver to pick up another before heading into Belterra.
It will be a special year in a big way! Ask for me,i would like to meet some of you guys!

Lets have a beer!

I'm bringing my 1969 ZL1 nova with full documentation!https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I will be passing thru the area on Saturday. Will stop in Novaless tho.

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

Boy, am I tired https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif Just finished polishing my balls for my golf game with Tibor at the Nova Nats... Hope he appreciates the extra effort, they really do look nice https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

Quit playing with your balls Tom! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

Spoke to Tibor today...he has been super busy at work, so Paulette polished his balls for him. I'm sure she did a good job https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif...maybe I'll mention this to Karen and see if she has time to do mine before I leave https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

Tom...how many times do you need to polish the same balls anyway... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif...polish to much and it might change the in flight aerodynamics of your balls and #'s Guy will end up wipping you butt https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
Grady and me will most likley just hang at the cars and polish some off some of these... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
You guys travel safe, see you there.

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

I'll probably have to give the "old man" some strokes just to keep him happy.....and, remember you can never polish your balls too much https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

make sure the beer is cold https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Hmmmmm. I got a note from Karen last night asking if I had a 4" angle grinder with a wire brush she could borrow. She mentioned "cleaning some of Tom's stuff" and also asked if turpentine was still available. I'm not sure that method would IMPROVE performance, but then again, ........ I've never tried it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Let us know how that works out for you. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

When it was here before, we all had the option of doing a few laps around the Kentucky Speedway...... any idea if something like that is happening again?

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

Thanks Mike...some great shots! Looks like you guys had a blast.

Re: 2009 Nova Nationals in Indiana - who is going?
 

This was a great show...hats off to the Indiana chapter of NNN for all their hard work. As usual Wayne, Shirley and helpers put together a super event. We had some rain Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday were pretty nice. There were about 115 Novas in the show covering the years of 1962-1979. If you have never been to a Nova Nats it should be on your "to do" list for next year https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif The family atmosphere and down to earth attitude of the Nova people is just fantastic.
