Syracuse Nationals 2023

Anybody else going? Syracuse Nationals

I know @cbarge said he was.

I'll have both 300s in the Horticulture Building, same place as last year.

Over 8000 pre 1993 cars of all types.

Yep... The NYS Fairgrounds are pretty big.... and you'll never see all the cars.

Yes I will be there with my buddy Greg and one of his Mopars.
This year Grace will be on display.

We just got home, managing to miss the forecasted rain. As usual, a good time was had by all. We did spring a little radiator leak coming in with the 300L... It marked its territory with a little anti-freeze. A filled radiator with the cap loose and it drove home just fine.

I met and talked to a number of folks here. @cbarge @Margos Dezirian and @mr gtx wandered through. I don't think I'm forgetting anyone.

We were parked next to @roadcuda with his '69 Roadruner, @march with his '77 NYB and @66/72RAB with his '66 Fury III

As usual, I didn't grab a lot of pics with most inside the building we were in.

This is the late Nolan Swift's 10 Pins Super Modified. Injected BBC on methanol.... Can't get a lot wilder than that. My youngest son played hockey with his son.

300 G

Destoto

300Hurst

'36 Imperial

Seldon (made in Rochester, NY)

'65 Barracuda. Saw this one in the car corral last year.

This video really shows the size of the show... I'm not a "Bad Chad" fan so feel free to skip over him.

 

[Margos Dezirian]

It was a pleasure meeting Big John. Very likable and knowledgable.

Suprising amount of C body MOPARS at the show.
A large variety of vehicles overall.

My 66 in between a beautiful 50s Corvette (55 I think) and a driver 57 MOPAR.

Its a real shame the two big North East shows fall on the same weekend. I'd love to attend one of these years but Carlisle always gets the priority due to the swap meet. Hopefully this year Ill finally make it to the Lake George show.

The Syracuse Nationals are the weekend following Carlisle in 2024.

Possibly... We'll have to see what next summer brings.
