Event Coverage Steel in motion - May 14-15

One of the best event's in the Sunny South is this coming weekend at Union County Dragway, I missed last year but plan on being there in 2021.

Looking forward to seeing some of you guys there. HRP

 

See you there Saturday Danny. Day trip for me. I’ll have Assorted Nuts t shirt. Be on the lookout. Snowman

 

I will be a day trip for us also Jim, gotta pack in as much as possible.
We will be in the Ranch Wagon this go round..HRP

 

After getting rained on at JALOPYRAMA yesterday I’m looking forward to some sunny south land weather.

 

Looking forward to seeing you Tom, what's it been? a week? HRP

 

Not going to make it this year. I think Mike is.

 

Hey John, I talked to mike last night and he is planing on going, Dave backed out he is having transmission problems. HRP

 

looking forward to pics

 

Please post photo's.

 

My attendance just was confirmed…

 

Hell, I can't find a station that has any gas locally.

 

I just got lucky. If I don’t drive it any between now and Saturday I should be able to get there & back. I sure hope they catch the bastards that hacked the pipeline.

 

With the Colonial pipeline shut down, I filled up the shop delivery wagon yesterday and there was a few cars backed up at the time, I left the shop this afternoon and went home and got the wagon to fill it up to go to Steel in Motion this weekend, The QT with 16 pumps didn't have any gas.

Unless my gas gauge looks like Tom's I won't be going, 1/4 tank ain't gonna get me there.

This sucks! HRP

 

Looks like the mid 70's all over again!

 

Siphon some from the shop vehicle. And don’t say you don’t know how. That’s a basic ‘old guy’ skill.

 

N.C. Gas shortages KKOA CANCELLED

Tom, we log a lot of miles during the week and many time fill up twice a week.

I filled up yesterday and there is about a half a tank left, push comes to shove I can steal gas from my pickup but I prefer to use non ethanol in the wagon.

I learned the fine art of the misappropriating gas at a young age and I'm pretty sure I can still do it. HRP

 

See yall fellers down there! Be on the lookout for my black 55 with a blue laced roof![emoji41]

take pics if you get to an event - reality sets in when KKOA has to cancel

 

have your AAA road service take you - Ha! - a few years back when my wife's '50 Chevy PU needed a AAA flatbed - talked to driver about why AAA was keeping a close eye on transporting classic rides - his experience with an example was a guy that had a '56 Chevy in his home garage that needed to go for "service" at a shop next to fairgrounds where a car show was going on - late in day he was contacted to pick up '56 again and return to owner's garage - yikes

 

The only time my cars will ever be on a trailer or rollback is if they are broken. HRP

 

I feel the same @HOTRODPRIMER. Now the tilt bed operators want combat pay for hauling our old cars because the motoring public want to do a photo shoot @ 65mph. On the interstate. Geez!

And they will drift into your lane while trying to take a picture. HRP

 

I've got a full tank(11 Gallons) and a 5 gal gas can in the trunk, should be able to make a hundred mile round trip so I'm planning on going. I sure hope they dont cancel it

 

I doubt very seriously they will cancel, The Geargoyles didn't let the pandemic stop them last year so I would think a gas shortage will not deter their determination, I plan on trying to get the Wagon filled up this afternoon if I have to visit multiple stations. HRP

 

BUMP, The show gets underway today, we should be leaving early tomorrow morning. HRP

 

I just (gasp) washed the car. Heading out in the morning.

 

Be careful and I hope to see you there. HRP

 

Heading up from the beach.I hope to meet Tom. And say hey to Danny. See you in the morning. Snowman

 

be sure to take pics & post here
