Folks Of Interest Where are the Original first 500 HAMBers?

I found the HAMB in about 2000 at work
tried at home on an early apple with aol dail up but it kept timing out downloading artwork.
didn't really start hanging out until work and home computers got upgraded in '02

I was here in 98 or 99 but was not quick to sign up again in 2001, so 191

 

Still around messing with junk. I thought about you the other day. I bought a sbc I was thinking about putting in my 69 Firebird, I thought to myself, Jeff would be pissed lol. I'm actually about to freshen the 389 from my GTO. First pontiac engine I even been in.

 

Hello,

Well, for us old guys that came on later on in life, I ended up 259060, it was in 2015.

It was fairly easy to find the actual number, but it is a relatively different than the original 500.

Since I have been gathering a lot of stuff from my files and organizing them, then had something to present to the HAMB audience. But, as early as the original films I sent to the heads of various top websites for hot rods and drag racing, I needed to get busy and start editing them for stories.

My other goal, that is still in its final stages is to have them organized, labeled who is who and where it was taken 67-68 years ago is still an ongoing process. I have been asked to sent them finished with information to a well known university archive collection with general internet search parameters. But, I am now down to a last few names and perhaps, it is time to send it all to the accessible information banks.

The archive division wants the collection for two things, one, it is the only history of So Cal film/action in drag racing preserved for the 57-64 time period. And, 2, at least someone is interested in drag racing history in So Cal as it played a huge part of that time period. They have plenty of still photos of the later years when 35mm cameras were in vogue.

Time to get going and finish that long standing So Cal Drag Racing Project…YRMV

 

#473 still here.

 

I’m still here. 2002 I think. Lurked for a while in the beginning. Wasn’t quite sure of what to make of it. I’m in the 600 range. Still screwing around with all this old crap.

 

...You must have logged on initially when you were 19 yrs. old. Thumbs up for your longevity. Staying the course is traditional.

 

,,,,,,568.

 

not as early as some but not late like others. member 23,741, joined in 2006. I lurked for a long time, a few years. I wasn't really one to associate with others especially in public with my speech problem and it just followed me over to being quiet on the internet. Found out you could learn alot by being quiet, people talk freely not knowing your ears are open. Anyways when Todd(Breeder) had his big flood and everything was buried under sand and mud someone(sorry don't remember who) ran an auction for a brand new snapon ratchet and proceeds would go to him to help out. I loved following him and his posts and i decided to join and win that ratchet no matter what. That was the start of me being here and off and on i post now, usually in streaks.

Anyways miss you Breeder, rip.

 

1052 for me. I found everything everything that I like here and never left..

 

lurked for awhile, but didn't own anything that was on topic for TJJ.. I think Nov. 2005(9664) was my join date.. 1949 Ford Business Coupe... long gone... current classic isn't main board topic stuff..

 

Every time this thread pops up, I try to get someone to trade my 351 number for like, 389 or 421 or something cool, but it ain't happened yet.

-Abone.

 

I'd think some Ford guy would be all over that.

 

I've been here for 12 years. I'm a relatively low 200,000 or so. Waiting for a few of you older guys to die off so I can get closer to the top.

 

To think, I was about your age now when I joined the forum.

 

I have to update the list: Perth Oz, Brisbane Oz, Perth again, Houston, Tenghiz Kazakhstan, Oak Ridge TN, Brownsville TX, Myrtle Beach, Richmond KY, Humble TX but working in Port Arthur TX.

 

Travelin' man, love when I can
Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin', ah
Travelin' man, catch if you can
But sooner than later I'm goin'

Looks like you were 109 so almost in the first 100.

I still find it unbelievable the number of OGs that still hang around. Once upon a time, Spudz, ElC and myself were the ONLY people in South Carolina. Crazy...

-Abone.
