So, some of you all know that I am in the CrossMembers Car Club that puts on Hot Rod Hundred reliability runs in a few areas. Anyway, I am mostly involved with the Oklahoma one at least on the planning, etc. side. So, this year was our tenth one of these and we took a hundred mile drive from Arcadia, OK to Ames, OK to end at Hajek Motorsports on the Oklahoma two lanes. My oldest son took a few (338 to be exact) pics of the 200-ish cars that came along so I figured I could share the HAMB-friendly ones here.
I should also mention that our fellow HAMBer @MMM1693 was awarded the long distance award for driving down from Minnesota in his very cool Caddy powered T coupe a total of about 750 miles each direction just to drive 100 miles with us.
Thanks for posting. You had a good turnout. I’ve participated in the Missouri Hotrod Hundred Reliability Run in the past. Great event !
And, here are the only two awards we gave away. One was for long distance to get there as mentioned and the other was just a club pick for a car and/or story that we were interested in. The CMCC pick went to a lady that had inherited her mom’s 56 Nomad and this was her first event getting it out. It was a pretty emotional deal for her and a very nice car that she was driving.
Shoot, really sorry I missed this one Jeff- thanks for the great pics and looks like you had a big turnout!
For anyone that cares, this pic shows from left to right, fellow CMCC member Brian Williams out of Flower Mound, TX, me, my wife who was a huge help this year, a buddy that drove the 41 Willys, another guy with the hat that I do not recognize, and the other main organizer of this event and fellow CMCC member @Fif-t-3 Tony Emig with his back to the pic.
Looks like a great day and a good turn out for 100 miles of fun! Thanks for posting (and the work involved in organizing the run)!
Looks like a great time!!! Neat that the lady inherited the Nomad and was interested in bringing it out. So many inherit cars and just don't care about them at all.
Exactly. She was probably in her 60’s and had taken her mom to some events after she couldn’t drive anymore. This was kind of the transition event for her doing something she wanted to do.
