Event Coverage my billetproof 2011 pics

YEEEEEE HAAAAAAAWWWWW!!

Not sure how Alan felt about this, but everyone loved the mayhem!!!
I wonder if this could be a legal "organized" part of the event?
Instead of a burnout pit, a Donut Contest!
Letting one car out at a time to make some noise and stir up some dust.

Near the end of the day of course

 

You guy's must have had a real blast - What is up with this cop? Everyone was waiting for him to do some dirt bashin'...

 

it looks like there were not nearly as many r*t r*ds this year. is that true, or have you guys just stopped taking pictures of 'em?

 

no it couldnt be an organized part of the event.

As it was I was lucky not to be charged to repair the field.

Note that I said "I" was lucky not to be charged... not the people doing the donuts... me. My money is on the line.

if this happens again we likely wont be allowed to use the fairgrounds any more.

Its always amazing to me that people think this kind of stuff is OK and that there are not consequences to their actions. There is a time and place for this kind of stuff... a fairgrounds full of people is not the time or place. Sorry to be a downer... but there are realities to consider.

Here is the ray of light though..... I'm here to tell you there is place to do allllllllll the burnouts you like...... We have a drag race in Oct. Bring 5 sets and tires and two transmissions you dont like. Use them all up. That is the time and place to do burnouts.

They have a mud bog at the track as well. If there is interest in running your car through the mud bog, throwing up some dust.... I can check with the track and see if we can make that happen.

How would that be?

 

my favorites = the mini-bike thing with the flat side car, and the car with the anti static straps.... thats a throwback lol

 

the quality of cars showing up came up quite a bit this year.

 

that's great!

 

Hey, I concure with you 100%. That field will now be useless for a long time. It's like the burn outs on the street on the brand new layed brick in Chehailis Billetproof. I just don't get doing stuff like this without having permission? It's a way to end a great show. I hope there are no long term repercussions from the few that decided to create the problems that you had to deal with. Hope to see you in WA in a few months.

 

Hey i can make sure they dont show back up if you want.Just let me know....

 

dont ever have a problem with anyone showing up.

damaging the property? costing me to repair the property? doing burnouts/donuts in inappropriate places?

Not so much.

Again, there is a right time and place for that kind of stuff. Come to the Drag Races and one can do burnouts for HOURS on end. Bring 5 sets of tires, several transmissions, several rear ends.... blow them all up. Have a ball. That is the time and place for it.

Heck, I'll look into the track letting us use the Mud Bog. If anyone is down with that... let know. Mad Bog, a place to do dirt donuts.... the works.

 

thank you very much for those great pics!!
must be an awsome "get together"...

 

what style of harley is that.Is it an old race bike or something

 

Dammit,I wish my 60 was roadworthy,I really wanted to bring it up to Billetproof Great pics btw,anymore of that 60 F100 in the earlier pics?

 

J.Lockwood, here's a pic with me and the Metal basher trophy you gave me, thank you so much, there were cars more deserving than mine. The car you put on the trophy looks eerily similar to mine.

 

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you got this Nads. Someday we have to hook up when I am down in your neck of the woods.
This could not have gone to a better person as far as I am concerned and your car spoke for itself.

Oh yea the framing was from a 59 Chevy.........lol.......just in case anyone asks

 

its a JD Twin Cam.

Was outlawed from racing back in the day cuz it was just too darned fast. That made HD pretty happy actually.

This bike was done up right. Lots of period correct speed parts and modifications. ITs not every day we get a late 20s- early 30's era hot rod at the show. Slam dunk for the award.

 

Yeah man, I'm building a 59 El Camino, it's kinda appropriate.

 

Thanks for posting the pics!Congrats Nads nice car!Great work on that award too!Does anybody have a picture of the owner of the 29 H.D. receiving the award i made? Thanks,K.J.

 

I have to agree with Alan 100%. I thought it was pretty bad to watch those guys tearing up someone elses property with no regard whatsoever for it. Then there was the dust it created, lots of cars with open intakes that got enough sand from just normally sitting there. I was surprised that the cop didn't do more than he did.

It wasn't the image I wanted to see hot rodders viewed in, we want to always be respectful of others and to be invited back somewhere. We have enough trouble keeping ourselves respectful in the eyes of JohnQ without creating more problems for ourselves or our events.

Just my opinion.

Does anybody know of any skid pads in Florida? Like they use to train people how to drive in a bodyguard/limo driver/cop type situation with the sprinklers and stuff?

That might be fun... wet drifting in a hot rod...

 

I will be a man and apologize for my fellow freaks tearing the grass up.
I am very embarassed this happened and very sorry to the other rodders.

Those are some awesoem cars! Thanks for sharing!

 

Hay Smoke, you did yourself proud. Great photos. I don't need to look any further. At least I was able to see photos and not a bunch of blank PHOTO BUCKET squares. Great job.

 

Great car show

 

Are their many of those jd harleys around or are they scarce as rockin horse poo

 

Great pics!!

 

You see them every so often at auction, but they arent as common as muck... and they are pretty expensive when they do show up for sale.

here is one for $70k

Geeze Nads, could you have found a rattier t-shirt??
PM me your address and size and I'll send ya a couple of t-shirts with boobie inpressions in them to wear.

 

I was sanding my El Camino, I had a photographer from Miami, Janette Valentine, shooting pin-ups and I had her take the pic. I ain't getting dressed up just cos there's pretty girls swarming the joint.

Send me your shirts anyway.....hee hee.
