Allen,
I went last year without a roadster. Last year there were no real works in
progress, but they were not all perfect either. I got the impression they
have about seen it all at the meet.
Until it was obvious that I was not going this year I figured I would have
the ugly duckling, but if I were going, I would the car in any condition if
I thought it was reliable enough for the trip (mine is).
While you don't hear much about it on this list there is another all Nissan
meet held nearby on the same weekend. If you think your car is not pretty,
just wait until you drive up the the other meet and see what a grungy car
looks like. There were cars in virtually every condition from absolute
showroom clean and stock, to cars that would make you wonder how they ever
got out of the driveway - or why.
Take your car and enjoy the weekend. You will get a lot of good ideas, and
meet people who may have some very good suggestions about how to correct
some of the things you are concerned about. Besides the dinner Saturday is
great.....

Subject: Shasta and ugly cars going?
To List,
I am considering making my first trip to Shasta this year (assuming my car
makes it). I was curious if any other ugly cars are going. Mine needs
quite a bit of body and paint work and has cracked vinyl in the interior and
I've been looking at pictures of past events and all the cars seem restored.
Granted I don't have a lot of pride anyway, but I don't want to embarass
other owners whose nice restored car gets stuck next to my "still has
original paint on the front half" body project. I also would prefer not to
be subjected to the "what the heck is THAT thing doing here" glances. Is
there a place I could park mine, perhaps next to the porta-potti's?
Does anyone know how many people are going?
