Hot August Nights - Reno, NV

My friend's bringing his '65 to Reno this year. Anyone else with a Ford truck (or car) in this year's events?

We live in Sparks, NV (running joke is Reno is so close to hell you can see Sparks) and if we get our 73 F100 going again well be there but thats a big if with no lower end in the motor right now (waiting for crank). May get our 65 stang up and going for it but that one has tranny probs, so sloppy you cant tell what gear you are in and pops out of gear too.

Im headed down to check it all out, I hear it was sold out months ago as well as the 05' gathering...I gues I can try to get my truck done for the 06' year...gives me a bit more time

The official registration for the HAN cruise is already full for 05. But, the majority of people there are not in the official cruise. You can enter your car/truck at the various cruises being held at casinos. The Atlantis is the best IMHO. Also, there is the great swapmeet and the auction. I'll be there this week, but we're driving the minivan and leaving the truck and the Fairlane at home. It's going to be great. John

We've gone every year for the last 7. The swap meet is on Wells ave. just north of I-80. The Auction is on S. Virginia across from the Atlantis at the convention center. Enjoy. John

I'm from Reno and I moved to Billings Mt in April. I used to hate H.A.N until I gat my 72 Pontiac Ventura. I vow to be back there when my car is done, and the best part is, I'll be a tourist, not a local.

I lived right off of S. Virginia St. and the cars would "drive" you crazy at 2 am on a week night. I had to be at work at 7 am and the cars would zoom up and down all night. I like Billings because it's quiet and a bit on the small side. Much better than the 350,000 that Reno has. I shall return! (as a guest).
