Event Coverage Hamb Drags 2011--a different perspective--

Well, at least he can wear his new Hamb drags t shirt and pretend like he actually went somewhere this year where there was hot rods involved.

 

Now I am wishing I would have gone just so I could mess with Bruce

 

Good seeing you Paul!

 

maybe Bruce couldn't afford to go?

perhaps he has customers that don't pay their bills?

 

YOU have an excuse this time-----him not so much

 

you too Rob, still love your car--

 

you too Nick

 

Nice talking to you and giving me the info on your red bike. I really dig the way you set up your frame & engine. Took several pictures of it and the other bikes. Downloading some pics today and noticed I left off a few - like two hundred or so! Burned up several batteries this weekend. I'll post them when Fotki gets done sometime tonight.

 

Wish I could've been there... had to work...

any new Pie photos? Hahaha...!

 

I give up >>>>.

 

Dear Mr. Engine Pro, please don't give up. We have alot more **** to give you yet.

 

Mr. President, I mean Povertyflats, as your head of Security, and sitting in on the conversations with the 3 amigos above, I ran some secret intell on Chadillac. I have determined that in fact Chad is the "REAL DEAL" and in fact he is the true Chadillac. You may now be ***ured that you are dealing with the real deal! By the way guys, it was a pleasure meeting you ALL at the drags! My party of 4 from the CORNHUSKER state enjoyed the drags TONS! I was glad to finally see my old friend ModelAJohn race his BEAUTIFUL ChevyII B/FX down the track, hanging the wheels up for a good 50 feet on launch! Talked to KiwiKev several times and NUMEROUS other guys. I want to thank povertyflats for being a wonderful host again and meeting new friends and old at his POVERTYFLATS shelter, the COLD beer and water was much apprieciated my friend!

 

ModelAJohn's car was beautiful and truly hauled the mail.........love that-----nicest guy in KS too......as for Oklahoma Chad?.......I'm still worried.

 

Paul, always enjoy seeing you and the Kansas crowd. This year was real special for me, being able to spend almost 2 weeks on the road (Vegas, Huntinton Beach, and Catalina Island Ca. Hoover Dam and the Drags) with my son on the roadtrip of a lifetime. We had a blast and the drags were the perfect ending. Gary

 

Hey Gary... are we going to see a thread on your "Father/Son" trip?

 

swell stuff funny thing i bought a airtank like that on sunday at the swap in minn. hose valve and all wonder if it was yorn ... well i guess it will be treated like old rock star memorabilia now if it was or not

 

See Paul.... I told ya I was the real deal!!!

Good meeting you Louie!!!

 

We were in a non HAMB friendly late model Vette, so not really sure this is the right forum for that, but will definetly put up pic's and a little story on Facebook. Gary

 

If I had known Mike didn't go I would have directed the **** stream his way >>>>.

 

Hot time at the old track. Good finally sitting down with you for a few minutes. If you had reason to be in South Omaha Sept.10th, 5 band party at my house.

 

Nice seeing you again Paul. Our power came on at midnight Sunday, those storms tore up a lot of trees. Check out the video my son Shawn shot of Erics g***er doing a 180 in the middle of the track. We were at the right place at the right time. The video is at youtube 2011 hamb drags hellwagon.......

 

Thanks Ted......here is the video

Great trip thread as always Paul! It was great to see you and meet Bobwop. Thanks again for the grub. Sorry you had to put up with those other two guys I was hanging with That photo of Chad is giving me nightmares!

P.S. When you coming to pick up the roadster

 

I enjoyed meeting you Tom. It was great to meet Mike. I hope to meet Chad some day...the REAL Chad

 

Are you sure you want to meet the REAL Chad

 

Great seeing you there, too! I'm still tuning on the Hilborn injecter, hope to have it running even stronger at Ardmore on Labor Day weekend.

 

I thought you were the nicest guy in Kansas! Just wait 'till you get to know me better. You might change your mind!

 

We ate at the Cracker Barrel on our way to Springfield Friday, our waitress told us that they way over hired after the tornado to give jobs to those that lost theirs (good for Cracker Barrel)
On the way home from the drags we went through the area hardest hit........ITS BAD.

 

That is why I announced it later. Thanks for taking one for the team!
