Hey Dad, I wanted to be there but was stopped due to some body repair. Everybody that I talked to said that the temps were the best ever for Des Moines. I hope that we get together at the drags in August. I hated to see that good looking car picture ruined by a gray headed old coot in the back ground. Later Dick
Thanks for the pics! What a great weekend - great cars, good friends, good weather... What more could you ask for?! Malcolm
Great pic's 27 Hard to beat Des Moines fairgrounds, especially with the great stretch of weather this weekend was. Gary
Great pictures and thanks for the post. I passed thru Des Moines just last month when I was bringing my Old Dodge D100 home from Idaho. To bad I didn't wait a week or two.
A few more, alot of nice cars and weather was great. Fairgrounds looked very nice View attachment 463412 View attachment 463413 View attachment 463414 View attachment 463415 View attachment 463416 View attachment 463418
I dont know why the last set didnt download right? If it is ok with 27t i will post more tomorrow? I dont want to steal his thread. Everyone have a safe workweek and enjoy your summer.
That rambler with the minilites is a bad boy, if it looks familiar it's because hot rod mag gave it a page or two of ink within the last year, along with some kind of top 10 pick.
I talked to the Rambler guy at length. He is a machinist by trade in DesMoines and did ALL the work himself including the tube front / all suspension set up and drivetrain etc. He's running a 406 Cu Chevy if I remember with 14 to 1 pistons and a 6 speed with a in/out clutch. Anyway - the AMC clubs won't let him in the club stuff because of the Chevy motor or they said sure - if you don't open the hood. He's a very humble guy that just does his own different thing of 1 mile races in some speed group. He does not road race it like road America or anything like that. Just the one mile stuff. Neat car / very talented humble guy with one mean bitchin looking and running Rambler. Cob
