Antique Nationals 2007

Just got back from the antique nats.A good turn out as usual, but the place was a little out of shape. Most of the grandstands are gone , replaced by a big hole,where they are now excavating. Kind of surreal. Its a shame that this event, and others are coming to an end.
On the other hand it was my first actual ride out of my neighborhood( I will describe that in another post)
Here are some pictures Im sure others will add more

Thanks for posting the photos! That is one meet I've always wanted to get too, ever since Rod & Custom first covered it back in the 1970's.

 

Thanks for posting some great pics. Looks like a lot of non V8s.

 

Thanks for the pics Scott, wish i could have made it to that meet as it prob was the last one there :-(

Kev.

 

Thanks for the great Photos

 

very cool thanks

 

I just got back my self, do you know if they are going to have this event next year and where??

 

what a great time!, I look like a big tall oaf standing in the way of that pic, also I got the worst ****in sunburn ever. There is not a venue open for next year, everybody is saying the forever 4 club cant afford to rent out either of the other 2 tracks. by the way there was a lot of non V-8's there this year.

 

it would be *****in if they could do it at SANTA PAULA or CAMARILLO airport,
or some other small plane airport in the area.

Holy Cow! That Cord Beverly/Hupmobile Skylark/Graham Hollywood sedan in "military" trim without fenders is a neat piece. These cars are so advanced for their time, always wondered if there would be a market for a gl*** copy since there were only 100s of them built of any of the 3 makes using the same body, and Hup and Graham used the same front sheetmetal as well.

 

Thanks for posting, great pics.

 

No smokey burnout pics?

 

Looks like alot of fun

Thanks for the pics....... I wish I could have made it this year as it is one of the best events to attend to see really traditional rods and rodders having fun.
Life always seem to get in the way of fun times.

 

Very cool pics, thanks for the post. I couldnt make it this year.

 

pasadena, thats the exact same car that grabbed me out of the whole group. NEAT cars. a buddy of mine has a Graham Hollywood. I have put many miles down in the seat of it!

 

Dam! What two tracks were you talking about?

 

had great time myself got to see a lot of old friends and meet some new. they should try to have it out at perris or the new banning track. billy

 

Scott, congratulations on getting your truck there!

Anybody know if Flynstone won the championship?

I had a good time, but I had to get out of the kitchen.

Thanks,
Kurt

Nice pics!!! What a *****in time, this year! I didn't even care that I had a 20 sec. car LOL!, it was just fun running down the track.

 

haha 'neck snapping shifts' glad you were able to control all that horsepower lump!

 

The little red lakes modified with a 2 port Riley in it is mine. Guess I'll retire it now. Unless it happens and they run again. One track wants $25000 up front. At this years price it would take 1250 entries.
Another problem is that most of the remaining strips operate under NHRA rules and there is no way for me to install a roll cage without cutting up the car so I will stay home, gettin too old anyhow.
Sorry to get carried away. You have a lot of good pics tho

 

And the food at the picnic was even better this year. Yummers. Wayno

 

had a great time again this year, hopefully they can find another venue so they can contine the drags.
anyways here's the pics i got

 

That was a blast!!! its a shame to see that track go.....
