GOOD GUYS 37th PNW NATIONALS

I expect to see great coverage Billy.

 

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to HAMB and country and obey the traditional law. [pledged whilst presenting the HAMB salute, similar to boy scout salute but without the index or ring finger]

 

I’m one of those who has no desire to weed through the off topic stuff….

 

WIN WIN!

 

To save on phone batteries, I suggested that Mrs. BB be in charge of taking pictures of the Off Topic cars and I'll handle the traditional rides. She asked how to tell them apart, I started explaining and decided it was easier to bring a battery back up for recharging.

 

just give her a string 15" long so she can measure the wheels.

 

You are a wise man. But I would like to see her pictures to, perhaps on the off topic forum. Its all good in hot rod land.

 

She is a pretty lousy judge of length, wait, what?

You'll see them, she likes to take pictures of what she likes. I should make a special section for her.

I'll post up what you missed this year. I am getting anxious to hit the road.

 

Thanks Billy, I know you will. Have a blast!

 

It's 95degrees here in central Washington today. Miserable day for prepping the truck and trailer and packing stuff for the weekend. I am looking forward to that 70-80 degree Puyallup weather tomorrow. They are supposed to reopen the I 90 highway 18 interchange at 5 am Friday morning. I hope they do since that will save me at least an hour of driving and at least 10 points on my blood pressure count.

 

Along with the Canon camera you saw a couple of years ago I pack a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot that is smaller than my phone and has a removable battery and SD card. The phone I have now probably takes better quality photos but I like not having my phone loaded down with photos.

 

We made it! Just a couple hour up the freeway. Pretty easy going. We checked in at the Best Western about 2 miles from the fair grounds. Nice place, our room has a nice view of the car walking station the hotel put together. Caught a guy cleaning his woody. Usually you have to peak inside to see that sort of thing.

We are set up inside the Show building. Got a cool parking spot in the center of the floor. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot.

the fair grounds are going through major renovations this year. A lot of buildings have been removed and with it a lot of parking spots for the display cars.

We plan to get there early to watch the cars come in but there is a Dennys in our hotel paring lot so I will need to have an omelet first. Priorities!

 

if your just up the hill from the fairgrounds we are probably at the same hotel, lol. Good to know there is alot of construction again this year.

 

Yep, south hill. Just above the fair grounds. Sounds like we booked the same venue

 

Cool idea for a thread

I have to say that you usually post great content @Bandit Billy that's interesting - thank you

Regards Turns

More 32s out side the SoCal tent. They must have made a lot of these, seemed to be everywhere.

 

This one was across the road, you couldn’t throw a donut without hitting one of the dang things

 

Found one for sale, Good Guys starter kit

Have you had a chance to check out the swap meet area?

 

A bit of caravanning anyone?

Taboo or not taboo, that is the question

 

I still haven’t found it yet. There is a lot of ground to cover here. I got 9000 steps in, Mrs BB got 12000 but she has shorter legs.

 

A Gorgeous 40

A black PU with entry number 666, the owner looked to be wearing Prada.

and a little pretty in pink to sun it up today

 

you are having way too much pun...

 

Thanks for the photos, Billie. I drove my ratty ol' 50 chevy sedan delivery from Omaha out to Puyallup one year. Had a blast! Stopped at B'ville on the way back to take a impromptu 1 mile run on the salt.

 

heard they had an accident at the show today...guy in his car hit a pole and building and a few cars... heard the driver got bent out of shape waiting for someone to park there car...was doing burn out or something...

 

The Bandit and his lovely wife! They did get a great parking spot for the weekend. This was my first time to see the roadster in person. It's a great car,with a lot of little details that just keep discovering as you walk around the car. Of course there is the bonus of having the Bandit explain how all of those special details were conceived and developed Into this beautiful roadster.

I am writing this very early Saturday mornintrg as I lay on my cot in my car trailer listening to a constant parade of obnoxiously loud hotrods slowly make their way into the fairgrounds. I think the first car (it sounded like a blown hemi) got in line at 2:30 am!
