Just seeing who all was attending the Mid America Truck Show in Louisville, KY March 19-21? I'll be heading up there after my shift on Friday to check out the show on Saturday.

I'm not getting there this year lack of pryor planning is preventing me from going,did hear that some of the exhibitors are holding back this year due to off sales. Paccar might be one of them,much to my surprise. Anyway there are 2 events I wanna see before I kick the bucket,MATS,and those truck drag races up in Quebec....If you'v never seen it you should check it out on youtube......Awesome stuff !!! Anyway ,Hope you guys get lots of freebies,and Have Fun! I expect a full report when you get back!

Yeah, I heard Paccar wasn't setting up at MATS. I don't know if I'll go, I'm convalescing from a couple hernia ops (last one was Friday) and will have to see how I feel. It's too late to get a room near there and crashing out in the mini-van is outta the question. I live south of the "windy" off I-57. Anyone else going?

You should be able to still find a room within a few miles of the show.
