    I didn't make it to the race on Saturday, I had picked up an early afternoon gig for Saturday and felt that I would've had to leave too soon to make it worth while going, so I headed out early Sunday morning instead, and ended up having a great day. I rolled in around 8:00 and the turnout was really light, compared to last December anyway. There were only a handful of pre-64 cars on site when I got there, and maybe a dozen on the infield. There was supposed to be some kind of car show, that never happened. A friend of mine, from the same town as I am, was already there and I saw his Model A coupe parked next to a DC3, so I cruised over to talk to him and ended up parking right in front of the plane, made a great photo op with Jasen's coupe and his buddy's roadster. How I got the center position I don't know, but what the hell, I'll take it.

    The roadster was brand new, just got it running the day before and this was it's maiden journey. It sounded pretty great.

    Here's some of the other scenery I shot before the racing started.

    Cool, Thanks for sharing, I saw a video on FB this morning that actally didn't have the crappy annoying guitar noise on it. Plus one from Friday by the same guy with the damned music. Not as annoying as some though.

    His saturday no music video (117) TROG Flabob Race Day! - YouTube Just the sounds of what was happening.

    Friday vido, haven't watched it to see if your coupe is in it but saw several familiar cars.

    I love that Jimmy roadster ! Always nice to hear those things growl while mixed in with the flatheads.

    Who made those fancy finned plug wire covers on the pretty green T coupe? Looks like it hides the problem of burnt paint on the exhaust ports we have on so many OHV V8's.

    I didn't take a picture but there's a guy named Riverside Johnny in a 29 Roadster that's kind of a brown Rusty color with filled wheel wells and I believe the doors may be welded shut that's got a very hot four-banger that was eating up the V8s. That thing sounded nasty.

    Yeah, he was running fast all day. He may have won the final for the banger class, but I'm not positive about that, but he was definitely one of the fast guys.

    You mean this one?

    I don't know about the finned wire covers, pretty neat. That's a Pontiac, right? I see those finned covers on Buick Nailheads alot.
