Trust me, I'm not sore about it, not in the least bit - just looking for info...
Thank you...! | | | Re: Nationals Judging | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 907 Likes: 1 old hand | old hand Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 907 Likes: 1 | Not a big deal. Most if not all have empty cans marked gas, water ,oil. First aid kit is the most important. Jack, tool box, jumper cables, are needed. But you could skip everything and nothing says you will win. Nationals brings out the best vans. Good luck

In a file labeled "How to host a Nationals" , a PDF file. IN the near future this info will be presented in an easier way to retrieve.
