As you synch your Palm Pilots and set calendric modulation on your iPhones :^) , don’t forget to slot the Car Craft Summer Nationals into your plans for next (not this) weekend.

That great come-and-play venue, the state fairgrounds, will host the event next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. (Good thing it’s not this weekend, since everyone will be caught up in the Dark Night Batman opening. We’ll just have two things then, the Car Craft show and the new X-Files movie, for next weekend.)

There will be 4,000 muscle cars and street rods on the grounds and enough horsepower to revive the Old West. I’ll be there one of those days–probably being tailed by security if it’s like going to a department store.

As usual, I’ll post a few pics, but you’ll have a lot more fun going in person. Along with the cars will be the Miss Car Craft Summer Nationals contest. Since this is Minnesota and we like to treat folks fair, I’m sure if any of you guys have a nice bathing suit and tan, they’d be happy to expand the contestant pool.  Think of the bragging rights for the guy who takes honors with his street rod and makes the Car Craft calendar.
