Who won the cup ?

 

Don't know for sure, but I know who has it.

 

Just checked it out. Good photography.

Anyway couldn't resist snagging this pic (thanks Roy I owe you one). Talked (actually harassed) with the young men who run this roadster Thursday night late. Not only do they have a sweet roadster and a collectable ramp truck to haul it on, they got their heads screwed on straight and it didn't get swollen in the process.

Anyway love this car and the young men who run it are alright too.

 

I just got home. Best HAMB Drags yet. Thanks to Ryan, Sweet Marcie and her staff of cuties.

See you in a year, -Abone.

 

So a bone what was your secret weapon this year I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to mingle much since I was too busy breaking and fixing my 2 heaps

This is the dust storm that chased us in Friday night.

 

Thought I would just keep mine posted on this thread enjoy.
We have to thank Nathan for these.

 

I kinda saw this coming. Congrats Sam!! And it looks damn good too!

 

James if that wasn't the way it was in 1958 (pushing the digger with the wagon) it should have been. Thanks for the pic man

I like the one-lunger BSA.

 

Really nice shots! The wagon pushing wrenchbenders digger is priceless!

 

I had a *441 Victor Shooting Star at one time. Actually I had the Victor dirt bike too come to think of it. Got both in parts trades. They were both fun, although the dirt bike landed me in the bote in Belmont. For some reason the Belmont police dept took offense at me riding it on the railroad tracks.

*The Victor Shooting Star was the street version, glass tanks, less aggressive spring rates, taller gears etc..

 

Never had a BSA but I had a Norton

 

LOL First bike I owned was a Norton. Bought it in '68 for 30 dollars. A '57 Norton single.

The other Norton that I owned was when I was in Mexico. But enough of this silliness, we're car guys right?

 

Guess as I got older I felt the need for training wheels.
