Barrington Truck Show ~ 2015

For over 50 years the Barrington Old Truck Show has been a fixture on a single Sunday late in August each summer out back of Calef’s Store  at the RTS 125/9 junction in Barrington, New Hampshire. Lots of disappointment when the 2015 Barrington Truck Show moved out of town a ways down the road to the Star Raceway in Epping, NH.

Trucks and truckers were spotted headed north to Barrington as we headed south to Epping.

Not the same on lots of levels : attendance, commercialism, cost to the spectator, organization & grouping of vehicles, and the grounds in general. Check out the 2014 blog entry.

Change : Change for the better??

Let’s wait and see the 2016 Barrington Old Truck Show’s location:

Is a return to the Town of Barrington possible?

All the same some way nice trucks on an overcast day.

I’m goin out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine

Listen to them big trucks whine

Richard Shindell’s The Kenworth of My Dreams

I sold my old Camaro
I sold my fishing boat
A friend said he would cosign
On a small commercial loan
So I shopped around until I found
A rig within my means
I put fifteen thousand dollars down
On the Kenworth of my dreams
