This week's throwback is more than meets the eye. RustyFrye reminded me of this piece of TBN history by sending me this picture, which I modified slightly to cover up the information on tag.

Ours too but I don’t believe that we met. Around 100 cars as I recall. I’ll never forget the visit from Barney Fife.Originally posted by 2Redbirds57/02 View PostComment

Sam is correct on 3 & 4. Still waiting on some memories to kick in on 1 & 2. IF we don't have them answered by race time on Sunday, maybe Doug will fill in the blanks. If not, I'll tell you what I remember and post the unaltered picture.21 years, 174K miles, 48 States X 2 & DC, 9 Canadian provinces, 8 European countries, 3 Caribbean Islands, 3 Hawaiian Islands, 100+ National Park locations, 150+ T-bird events, 190+ retrobird diecasts/models, 13 TOTM pics & some very special friends...THANKS TBN !Comment

That was the first event we missed. We had just moved from Gainesville, GA to Nashville, TN and the timing made it impossible for us to go.Unbelivable TBN trips including ALL of the lower 48 States plus 9
Canadian Provinces, 8 European Countries, 3 Caribbean Countries, Countless National Parks and have attended well over 100 TBN Events since 2001 and counting. Best of all ... fabulous friends.Comment

Paul, I think #1 is a metal dash plaque, I still have mine which is a little different from the one posted. I peeled the strip of tape off the back and placed it on top of my model car show case in the garage and it is still there.
Gene and Spence, surely you remember the 100 tbirds parading down main street in Jonesboro, TN.SamComment

Yes, Sam. I also remember the speedway, drive in movie, and much more. Never got a dash plaque.Comment

That's not the dash plaque. It's a tag.21 years, 174K miles, 48 States X 2 & DC, 9 Canadian provinces, 8 European countries, 3 Caribbean Islands, 3 Hawaiian Islands, 100+ National Park locations, 150+ T-bird events, 190+ retrobird diecasts/models, 13 TOTM pics & some very special friends...THANKS TBN !Comment

Just adding some major clues to assist in the final hours. .....
There is more than just a back story. You may want to make a seat of the pants decision and post a response. And that applies especially to those 2002 owners.
