Any Barners going to the Ty-Rods swap meet tomorrow (sunday) at Stafford Motor Speedway, rte 140, Stafford Springs, CT, 7AM to 4PM??

Not much early stuff but car corral usually has something interesting. I go because it's a tradition.

I'll be there. Never seems to be much to be had there. Maybe this will be the year!

It has become a huge yard sale.... Chineese tools and baby stollers, too bad.

Wife and I went. It was awful as usual. Accurate description above - A GIANT TAG SALE. It seems to get worse each year. Very crowded this time. Tons of bikes, mowers; chain saws. Very little car stuff and minimal FORD. Didn't see 10 Flathead pieces except tires and rims.
I go for nostalgia, the exercise and that it officially begis my car show season.

I was even disappointed with the car corral this year. Walked the outer track and part of the paddock,got my replacement "tea party" flag but not my "I know Jack Shit" decal. With me it's more of a tradition. Back there in two weeks for Spring Sizzler.

Actually by the end I was mad at myself for going. It is always a push- pull decision. Guess I'm afraid I'll miss that part ( I mean bike) I really need. Hopefully I'll not go next year and spend the day on my car but odds are I'll be there
