  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Hot August Nights or Checking one off the bucket list!

    Hello Everyone,
    I just returned home from being in Reno since last Tuesday & the Hot August Nights Show was amazing! It had been on my bucket list for years, so when a gentleman who owns an OT vehicle that had been invited to participate in the prestigious Hot August Nights Cup competition against 39 others inside the Reno Ballroom contracted me to transport his vehicle out & back, I jumped at the chance. His car won overall Best of Show @ Detroit this year & in 2016 won GMs Best of Design @ SEMA. As a transporter, this is another feather in my cap to be trusted transporting something this special back & forth.

    There was no less than 6 outside "Show & Shines" going on at different casinos every day. Each one had between 400 & 1000 cars, so lots of walking & gauking! I managed to get to 4 of them. The downtown Reno one was closest to my hotel, so I went to that one every day. The night time cruises under the arch were also great.

    I took a bunch of pictures & am posting some for your enjoyment.

    God Bless

    Bill,
    Thanks for getting back. I have been to H.A.N. a number of times but never with a car. On my bucket list to do with the car, I think they cap that one at 5,000 cars.. Went to Crusin the Coast this past Oct and that was quite an event with 8,300 registered cars there. I rented a Uhaul auto trailer and towed it down from KC with no problems. Still planning the particulars for H.A.N. this coming year. Looks like you have a very impressive resume on your service. I'll let you know. Thanks!
