So I went to the Ford nationals in Carlisle Pa today and only saw 3 V8 rangers 2 lifted fuel injection trucks 1 carbed Drag truck. I gotta say I was a little disappointed to see the ranger community was far surpassed even by the Merker group
 
Even if mine had two axles under it is a pretty long haul for me.

V8 Rangers far outnumber Murkers at my car club show most years... 1:0.
 
The Merkurs always outnumber the Rangers, V8 or otherwise.

I skipped this year. I was too busy this weekend to bother going to the same show I've been to every year, looking at the same stuff that isn't what I need or want to see.

Next weekend I am going to Lancaster though.
 
I wanted to go but just couldn’t make it.

I’ll be at the all truck nationals. And the fall show

I will be fine if I dont see another mustang for a few years the amount I seen today, plus the last time I went to Carlisle for something besides work was the Chrysler nationals and it was miserable humid years ago. But I figure since my friend wanted to hang out with his focus ST crowd I would get to poke around for parts, I got headers and valve covers cheap. Cheapo's anyway so my friend is gonna clean up the welds and redo them even weld a bung in for the egr make it look legit anyway. But ill need a peanut spark plug for one of the cylinders on the driver side.

What is going on there? If I have time after the WW2 weekend in Reading like a sunday morning I might take a drive down only 45mins from me if I go down 501

Well I'll be in Reading at the WW2 show, but to me there isn't enough difference between Lancaster and Reading to bother differentiating. Also, on forums like this I usually call out the closest well known city to the place I'll actually be.

For example the WHCC show/swap meet at the end of the month is at the South Mountain Fair Grounds, which is a Biglerville address, physically located in Arendtsville, but everyone who isn't from the local area just says it's in Gettysburg.

Ok I thought maybe a car show or something in lancaster i didn't hear about yet. But I get what you mean.
 
The Merkur guys always show up in big numbers, they're rabid. I talked to one guy who drove his Merkur from Alaska, that's either brave or stupid.
My son and I spent 2 days in the swap meet area and a couple hours in the car show.
 
I was there, had my Sport Trac in the show field.
