Event Coverage Lloydfest 2023 is in the books

Game plan:
Finish the truck.
Do a smokey burn out in front of the Ex's house while giving the one finger salute.
Smile all the way home.

 

It sure is great to hear from you Brother! This place has gotten kinda quiet without you!

 

Glad you're making good progress, Lloyd. Concentrate on stuff that makes you happy, and don't give the bad shit anymore time than necessary.
Someone told me that about 20 years ago, and I've always tried to remember it.
Simple, hell yeah.
1940 was a good year for Fords, and houses. Mine is a 1942 model, solid as a rock.

 

Since when did you get sane?

 

Glad to hear from you Mutt! Sounds like you are a positive roll. Need to visit a buddy in Paintsville this spring. Might have to drive over and drive down your property value.

 

Sounds like you have weathered the worst of the shit storm.Wishing you the best for the future
years to come.
Good k luck.Have fun.Be safe.
Leo

 

Sounds like things are coming together and falling into place, we are here for you big guy.

 

Well there's a little bad news, looks like the home for Lloydfest is shutting down. But don't worry, I'll come up with an alternative

 

I've always said that change is the only constant, but don't ask for change. It just makes you a panhandler.

 

OMG...That really is terrible news! ......How big is your shop parking lot?

I was really looking forward to running Stubby on the 1/8 track . Oh well, don't make this setback add any undue stress or anxiety to your life my friend! We will all be there regardless of the venue.

God Bless

Bummer

 

This sucks, but, I have complete confidence in Lloyd coming up with a new plan. It will be great!

 

Well, it sucks, but we saw it coming. Glad I can say I was there. Another track is close, right big guy?

 

Yeah Clay City isn't far. 1/4 mile track. I'll figure something out

 

We can race on the street like the big shot street outlaws.

 

Another reason it sucks, is the concession stand at I-64 was great, and very reasonable.

 

Loydfest LLC needs to buy the Motorplex!
Think chick magnet!

 

Yeah; and hold the rest of the event in the field across the road from the store in Preston. Make Preston into the hot rod equivalent of what Sturgis is to bikes.

 

Well that sucks

Dirt drags ? I'll bet you can find a couple hundred yards of reasonably flat land out your way. I heard there may be some timing equipment available...
Good luck ! Mike

 

^^^ Oh Boy......I can take the studded snows off my winter beater & put them on Stubby for the weekend!

God Bless

Flat land, in KY? It was only an 1/8th mile track because that was all the land in the entire eastern 3/4 of KY they could find to put a straight level drag strip on. Well, almost joking... Hmmm. That frontage road in front of the school parking lot might work, I'm sure that would be easy to arrange.

Maybe a hill climb event would be fun?

The strip was a nice location and a great distraction, the conversations all paused when ever cars made a run. I left before the racing was over at night, I didn't want to drive those roads in the dark. Our lodging was only 20 miles away, but an hour driving time, in daylight, because of the hills and curves.

Lloyd, don't let it get to you. If its meant to be, something will turn up. The drag strip only showed up a couple months before the event last year.

 

Legal racing is always fun. Not like I made it last year

 

Tell the mayor of Salt Lick your gonna do a take over of downtown and do street racing and burnouts but mostly old guys talking about racing and burnouts.

 

We know where that will end up

 

Hell I'm nowhere near Salt lick or Preston now, it's not a horrible distance, but my shop is in Jeffersonville, right outside of Camargo Kentucky. There's a huge field to the left and behind my shop. I'll have to ask my landlord if he owns it, and we might just have the shindig there. I'll check into it. Then we can sit inside the shop all night and party, in the heat lmao!

 

Bummer that the 64 Motorplex is shutting down, but that was actually a really nice "Eulogy" that the Baldridges posted for it.

 

Lloyd,

Wherever it is Sherry and I will be there. It's an honor to have participated in the first Lloydfest and we have memories that will last us for the rest of our lives.

 

Atch, I couldn’t have said better myself! I completely agree and Tonya and I are counting the days until Lloydfest 2024 when we bring Little Truckdoctor.

 

Had to do a search to see where Jeffersonville KY is. South east of Mt Sterling a few miles. Less hotel options (and they are farther away) then last year.

Going to watch what happens for sure.
