NorCal KnockOut "round 3" July 7th

We're getting fired up for the next NorCal KnockOut. July 7th at the Solano County Fairgrounds, 3o minutes north of San Francisco.

As always, we're looking for pre-70 american made hot rods, kustoms, bombs, racecars, slingshots, speedboats. 40's - 60's styled motorcycles.

There will be great live bands, lots of great trophies, lots of vendors, exhibitions, performances and lots more.

I'm there. The first 2 were great! these 2 were lookin good last year.

 

Planning on finally making to this one. Really looking forward to it!

Making a few changes that should be done before this...

 

What will be the accomodations for trailers? I can bring the Evil Twin and the Croozer Twin, but right now Evil's wearing it's race shoes, black steel wheels w/ Stahl frontrunners and old 11.00-15 Goodyear Blue Streak slicks, and them muffler thingies seems to have fallen off- but the sound of a decent 427 Ford with a little compression is So, where in that Fairgrounds would I be able to park the rig and unload that critter (without blowing up a lot of dust)? I know the Vallejo spot pretty well (worked on building Marine World)- southern parking lots maybe? The ragtop could drive in, they make a good pair

 

MeanGene. I really dig your duo! Well, you could park inside the fairgrounds by the exposition hall. That's where we usually park trailers and such. If not, you can park outside on the parking lot and drive it in. Lots of people did that last year!!
You are more then welcome man! Looking forward to hear that 427 scare the birds away!!

 

Cool- yeah, for our Skip Long show in Yountville (which I believe is the weekend after yours this year), I have some space "in the back" for trailers, always get a couple race cars & such, and just divert the trailers around the line. Figured you had some kind of deal like that- there's lots of room inside the Fairgrounds. Driving it across that part of the lot where there's a lot of gravel would blow up quite a dust cloud
Those 427's are pretty good at scaring the "sbc birds" away- lots of folks have never actually heard a good one, and are a little surprised by the volume of sound they put out

 

We've had several top fuel slingshots and race cars firing it up previous years, so you are in good company!

 

See you there,.... it'll be cool to be at the Fairgrounds again,....Really miss Andy's Picnic"

We're working on new art for t-shirts right now, and a new flier design. Updates will come continously here and on the websites.
Bands are about to be booked, and trophys are being made as we speak!!

 

Awesome. Will be bringing the coupe and F1 again. Can't wait!

 

Looking forward to seeing them again, you are very welcome!!!

 

I think we had seven '55 Chevy "gassers" at NCKO round 2.

This year we want to double that number.
We will have a custom made trophy for " KnockOut '55 Chevy Gasser" at the show.

So, get crackin and whip out some mean builds out there. It's over 5 months to go!!!

 

see you there!

Here is one who's coming. The only Buick powered Funny Car there is.
An amazing car that is a great piece of history.
Was raced at the east coast in the late 60's, early 70's!

Hey thanks man...looking forward to seeing your car too.

Speaking of which,didn't I catch a fender (and blower) of it on page 14 of issue #4 from last year at the Vegas event..?

Hank sent me a issue to preview and my eye was immediately drawn to your car.

 

Glad to hear you're bringing the Strange Bird Scotty. It'll be intense this year for sure!
