I am really bummed that I cannot attend this year. There are many of you I want to meet. You all have a great time. Take lots of photos to share and take lots of notes to pass on. Also, share your finds!!

Kevin - Can you see if Starpoit will attend the meeting and give an update on the new tracks.

Had fun at the show yesterday.  Was able to pick up a few parts from Rod Shaver for my track.  Got one of his repro M49 rings.  Saved me some searching and shipping cost!  Various small items I needed also. 

Got to say I was a little disappointed with the swap meet area, not as big as I expected and a lot of empty tables.  Don't get me wrong, still really enjoyed it.  Hopefully the rest of the tables filled up today.  I had a lot going on this weekend so I could only attend yesterday.

I talked to Greg Bilek with Starpoint abut their tracks and bogies.  Sounds like they will have a set made sometime this fall.  He said they would do some wear testing at that time.  They will also be offering a service to redo bogies

Lots of great vehicles at the show also!

I just left the convention after getting here Thursday. It was a great show with at least a half dozen really nice half tracks, including a very nice International. I was able to get a few things for my M2A1 at the swap meet. The place is Hog Heaven for a jeep owner! Greg attended the half track meeting and as Brad said, Starpoint is getting real close on tracks and said he's shooting for 4500 - 5000/set. He told me yesterday he hopes to be at around 75-80 bucks for bogie tires. Looking forward to him getting his stuff out to sell. Thanks Kevin Lockwood for all your and the others' hard work putting the convention together!

 The convention was great to meet some of the forum members face to face.  There was also a good number of halftracks to view.  I was able to pick up a few parts and had a chance to talk to the Starpoint reps about their tracks. Mike Spradlin had a M2 there with a M10 trailer that looked like a good combination, I am biased on that as I have a M10 .  His restoration looked great. I met him and got some tips.

It was over too soon! It was a real a pleasure to meet up with you Gary/yd328! I was aslo able to meet Dave Yamulla and his lovely wife, Tom Wolboldt, Mike Spradlin (his M2 knocked my socks off), Brian Asbury and others. I had a great time talking with Rod Shaver and as always, it was an absolute pleasure to spend some time with Kevin Lockwood. Can't wait til next year!
