Event Coverage More Fun than Ever! - Hot Rod Dirt Drags 2018

The shots with the young folks are sweet Dan, they seem to be having as much fun as the drivers! That's what it's all about if you ask me. Joe

 

1929 FORD " Bell Roadster" - Larry Filipczak with Tommy Caskey, Christy ? and ? - I'll fill in the rest on the names when I find out myself. I look so forward to every chance I get to hand out with Larry and Tommy.

Any other pics of the turtle deck T?

 

if you are talking about the one racing in post #32 above, I am pretty sure I do and will try to get that sometime today
Here are a bunch of pics from the award ceremony. These are just snapshots, but I'm posting just in case anyone wants to see them here. I also put them on Facebook.

Dan,
The 27 track T (#18 car) belongs to Bill Ross of Yakima Washington. Bill and I made the trip together and very much enjoyed our first time to the Dirt Drags! Bill is going to be 80 this year and after a few years of Bonneville and El Mirage racing (holds record at E.M) decided to build a car for drag racing. He is very into the traditional cars and will be running at some vintage drags and (hopefully) some dirt tracks here in the Northwest.

Thanks for the great pictures!
Rick Harris

 

Thank you Rick for this information and your comments. You're welcome for the pictures. There should be one more of Bill's car coming up in the next few days. Here are a couple alternative retro versions of the picture above. It seemed like the right kind of car and photo for it.


Probably one of the reasons I never seem to keep up with my photo backlog is because I spend too much time playing with an individual picture. I definitely get a kick out of seeing what else can be done with them.

 

The human factor is a nice touch.

 

Thanks - this event really lends itself to that. A regular car show you often don't ever see the person who goes with the car.

 

Thank you Dan for all you do to capture and bring visual exciting events such as this one to the Hamb and share the experience. HRP

 

Amy Nicholas - everyone's favorite flag girl and Travis "Royboy" Scanlan

 

You notice how everybody was smiling? You should have seen the faces on the return from a run....all smiles.

 

You're very welcome HRP - thank you for taking the time to look. This thread is still in its infancy so I hope you will come back and check again when you can.

 

That is so outstanding Dan, you make Hot Rodding an Art form.... THANKS
