Missed the first one, never missed one after that. Glad to see that Thom is doing it again this year, wife and I always look forward to do this run, and it's for a good cause.
Any more details on this great gathering?? I have been wanting to make it for several years and am going to try and pull it together this year.
We have some great stops and a great lunch provided by one the oldest hot rod clubs in the country... Our last stop is about 4 stops in one a huge collection in multiple buildings. I dont release any stop locations because in the past i have had to make changes the day of or day before.. And this way no one gets upset... Come and join us you wont be dissappointed. Last year we had over 80 cars, 150 people. People came from Kentucky in bonneville racing cars, hot rods from Ohio, Illinois and Michigan.. Its a great time. Thom
Bubbas was the last stop so i didnt make the run. However it must have been a good one as i talked to a ton of folks that had a good time. Thanks to all the folks that stopped by our new shop and tested its ability to fill up with people, and all the positive comments regarding our new location !!!! Plan on coming by on Easter sat for our first event of the year. The ISRA open house beginning show and poker walk. ( this year on Speedways main street ) I also heard there was a couple roadster " sissys" that bailed out on the tour and jumped in a car with a heater. We know who you are and you wont be getting any christmas cards from Bubbas this year......... Atta boy Lindross , set the bar!!!!!!! Drive that roadster !!!!!!!!
First of all... Any photos of this mayhem?? I was supposed to go and had a catastrophic break down Friday (Don't ask.) Second... Any extra t-shirts for sale?
First off, a big thanks to GodSpeed Hot Rods and Customs for hosting this wonderful event. Also, kudos to Don Smith from Terre Haute IN and to Linder Fuel Injection out of Speedway for allowing us to tour your facilities. Finally, a big thanks to the Cluster Busters car club for providing us lunch again this year. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional photographer, and the ONLY drawback to Mr. Smiths collection is that there was so much stuff it was impossible to get enough distance between the camera and the cars for good shots... Getting directions for the sendoff... While the above indy car is not all that vintage, it is historically significant in that it has the very first Penske Chassis (if I read the sign correctly) Cluster Busters pick went to this beautiful 32 Roadster Dustin Coopers DeSoto took GodSpeed Pick this year
More Photos of Mr. Smith's collection can be found here... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=163095
Thom, I was gonna try to make it this year but we are deep in the buick project. Looks like a great time, we'll definitely put it on the schedule for next year and try to bring enough blankets to make up for missing this year. Your a great person. Its awesome that you put this together every year.
Hey Thom! The guys in the club really enjoyed the blanket run this year! Didn't have the $$$ on me to buy a shirt while we were down there. Do you have any extra XXL shirts from the run left? Thanks! Kirby
