OK count me in definitely for saturday, will be pre-reg.....
Will leave early from home sat morn... hopefully meet up at the hotel parking lot....
as for Sunday....Hows the hotel situation look for everyone...I would love to share a room if possible, in hazelton, but could just leave from my home... As for tow hooks, I have none, and I have no CB either....and the only tow strap I have has hooks, with clips at the ends... SO i guess I am looking pretty bad for paragon, I guess if towhooks aren't expensive, I'll slap a set on or something?, and the bigger issue, my 4wd is acting strange, maybe needs rebuilt... I dont know, when in 4wd high or low, and turning theres a relatively loud whine, and turning sharply causes the vehicle to grind to a stop... Anybody have any ideas?? or am I fu***d..

You gotta have hooks to get into PAP if you dont they wont let you in. You can pick up a tow strap at walmart without hooks for 20 bucks. Most of us will be staying at red ridge camp ground which is about 20 minutes from PAP. A CB is not required but it is nice to have, if you have FRS radio's you can bring them as well. I have both a CB and a handheld FRS in my truck. I have an extra handheld CB i can lend out to someone for the day. As for your 4wd are you doing this on pavement or in the dirt? its not good to drive around in 4wd on pavement. the binding sounds like the 4wd working properly, itll bind up when you turn expecially on hard surfaces. I'm not sure what the whine is, it could be the PS pump or something.

Well I just talked to a friend of mine that was down there for the imports, and he said it was the worse year ever, everything is different as per the show, and judging, and there were ALOT of unhappy campers there. I just hope that the Ford Nats. are not following that same trend......

Damn, there's yet another thing I forgot to tell you guys...
About judging: there are 2 ways to be judged: by your peers, who walk around with papers to mark down your truck's assigned number in the appropriate catagory; and Official judging, like at the Import show.
Seeing as to how Official judging costs twice as much, we're in the peer judgement class for the AFN. Which means that our 3rd place winner last year was picked from all of the 30+ entries in our class by ordinary people who happened to walk by the truck and were impressed enough to vote for it. Suffice to say, the more of an impression you make, the more votes you get.
Last year we were too busy BSing to walk around and vote (like good contestants should), so this year I'd like for all of us to take turns strolling around and appreciating the other fine Fords there as well as partaking in our own individual part hunts (I need new Piaa's personally). All right with everybody?
