Mine are coming up soon. Loved the show. Thanks to Frank (NorCalsicboy) for a great show. Low key and great Cali weather! The ride down and back from SJ was some smooth. Thanks go to George (Yorgatron) and Jake for making the cruise down in the Hudson with me, the wife and the girls. Sorry I missed the concert, but any of you HAMBers are looking for something to do tonight, make the drive down and see some cool bands.

Hahahaha....

So you got the back end down

 

It was nice to only have to drive a few blocks for a show! Thanks for the pix. Cool shot of my Merc !

 

We'll almost didn't make it down to this show, sorta broke down on the way down My fan belt broke and i knew it was coming so i bought an extra one just in case only to find out it was the wrong size ( too wide). Luckily a kind fella stopped and asked if i needed help ...i did! So after a trip to Kragens, a new fan belt ( much thinner one) and a help raising the generater, one hour later i was on my way to this show to meet up with Billy ( fellow clubmate) coming from Santa Cruz, talk about perfect timing! I thank the Lord for looking out and getting me back on the road today

We had a fun time, but it was a short stay, couldn't stay for the night show with bands. Thanks Frank for a fun time and nice turn out.

Great to meet you as well Ed and thanks for grabbing one of the Posters.

I saw you hanging out Jon with your kids near where we were sitting, but i didn't put the face to the Hamb name, sorry You should have came up and said hello!

Thanks for sharing the pics Ed, you always have the quick scoop on all the rides at each event... too cool!

cheers.

 

cool show thanks guys -- tom

 

What is it about gorgeous girls that can't resist climbing on cool cars?

 

My girls love being very close to lots of the cars, but they know that mine is the only one they can touch. Scotty's Flamed Caddy from the Strangers is always my daughter's favorite.

Dave, I'm try the a new lowering technique, pile more people in the car till the shocks give out.

Steve, We wondered around a lot and I saw you also but you in the middle of a chat with your friends so I made a swing around the grounds and then later you had left. I'll be sure to to say hi at Asphalt or Strangers. Glad to hear about you receiving some easily fixable fan belt assistance.

On the the way home on 25 we ran into one of the rust rods with a seized block. He had help on the way also so we rode home without a hitch. Breaking down is always a concern especially when I have my family in the jalopy. But we are prayers were answered with a 70 mph cruise and no issues.

Tommy, your roof was shining in the Hollister sun!!

Any body go to the concert last night?
Jon

 

Jon,
I'll make it to the Asphalt invitational, but not the Strangers BBQ this year (that's my one year with the wife). yes, come and say hello next time.
Cool you made it home safely with the family!

Wonder which one of the rusty rods it was?

 

I may have to go to the asphalt on foot this year haha.

 

you always have a seat next to me my brotha

 

Just keep walking south after the show & stop off at Kelley Park for the Strangers show the next day!!

 

guys please dont !! it was the worst show ever !! show up early and it suck'd

 

Anything cool in that bare metal hudson next to you?

 

Thats owned by Yorgatron's brother...

Its an original '50's Hot Rod.....as its had an Olds V8 in it since the mid '50's

This is it when it had paint on it....

 

I'd have to agree with 50adict.....couse' it sucked big time......was a waste if time and gas money....

 

Which show are you talking about?

 

the Helltown....

 

Hey guys I like to thank everyone that came out. We were expecting alot of cars that didn't show up. I know we talked to alot of guys that were planning but didn't show up.

I appreciate all who came out. Those who thought it sucked stay home!

This is just the 2nd year of the show and we are trying to get this thing going. So any suggestions are appreciated.

Cab, hey man I was hoping to get to chat a bit I know my wife talked to you, but I was running around with the show and then dealing with some of the afterparty stuff. See ya at the Asphalt though.

Again I would like to thank all who showed up.

Frank

 

Great Show. I would have been even better if the bands played during the day. I think a lot of people got bored and left. We hung out til around 8 or so. They had some problems with the bands. We left before the music started. Great to see a small town gig on the map. I loved this truck, very cool backyard build. Here are a few more pics...

 

Thanks man glad you liked the show. Yeah next year we are looking at a venue that will let us have the bands play during the show. Due to noise ordinaces of the city we can't have the bands play outside. (City stuff is a pain in the ass to deal with)

We may move it down to our fairgrounds and have the cars park around the stage to watch the bands play during the day.
