    Excuse the cheesy video. This was done with my 3 year old digital camera, that has no sound.

  4. I made probably 15 runs or more... had the time of my life!

    Here's the run where I gave Rocky a ride... I'll post more tomorrow.

    My technique for the slippery track was to bring the rpm up to 4,000... let the clutch out, roll out about 75 feet then punch it. If you listen, you can hear it on this run.

    I was bummed you not being able to run:(........Please post a picture of your 32 it it beautiful.:)

     
  13. Lancer, thanks for the great pic of the bike. I was shooting video, and never got a still of Jack on the track. All that has been said of the event is true. Rocky and the volunteers did an outstanding job, hard to believe it was a first time effort. We had a blast, and hope it becomes an annual event.

  17. Sam, your '55 was a kick in the ass to watch...


    What an awesome day...met a bunch of new folks and got to watch these rides get flogged...hopes this works out to be at least an annual event.


    Hats off to Rocky and all of the event staff for a friendly atmosphere and a great event...and telling those two 300Z's where to go...:D

     
  18. Wow! Thanks Skip!! Thanks to all who are posting pics of the event. You really captured the flavor of the event. I now have the two best pics ever of Jack on the bike. "Rocky's field of dreams" is right on. It reminded me of Pomona Sunday afternoons in 1959. Beyond cool. :D

    And Sam,your 55 is a right on the money classic grass roots race car. Do not change one thing about it. Your "roll it on" passes were some of my favorites!
     
  19. Hey Todd, good to meet you and your Dad! I believe it was three 300Zs and I don't know how they even got in the gate. :eek:

  24. Hey Ronny (or Rocky),
    Do you guys have any more of the T-shirts left for sale?

    That looked like a blast..., alas I can only cry in my beer over what I missed (was in L.A. on on work related business).

    Hey Rocky maybe we can start working on the old Raisin City site next.. I hear there's renters on the property now.

    Rocky has a few left overs...there weren't many as we pressed them on site. Give us a call at 559-665-9300 if there is enough interest we may throw the screens back up for a short run. Or you can email us at theshirtshak@sbcglobal.net
