The Great Race cars will be leaving the Hilton Hotel in G****vine,TX around 8:30 am on Sunday July 8th. and heading to Eastland, TX for the lunch stop at 1:35 pm and in to Ablilene,TX at 4:25pm for the night. I have seen the race on several occasions when it came through Texas and it is well worth the effort. Really nice people who love to talk about their cars and the race. See it if you can.
The race stopped in Nashville this week at the excellent Lane Motor Museum and I took these photos: http://flickr.com/photos/brandonvalentine/sets/72157600614833535/
Tons of pics here! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192305&highlight=******knuckles ******Knuckles
I saw them roll in to Norman, It was great seeing all of those old mills going across country! I was impressed, but I agree the new corvette did not fit in!
I was in Norman too. Met a great couple in their 356 Porsche coupe. They have a blog too at http://bumfuzzle.com/ They have no support vehicles and are leading the Rookie cl***, 23rd over all as of Monday, July 9th They saiked around the world for the last 4 years and Ali has not driven a car in 5, she is doing great! Say hi to the racers when they stop along the way. If you see Ali and Pat tell them hello from HB and Mikel (Norman, OK)
Saw them in Norman also. Just posted some of my pictures in the other thread on this. I should have put them here. I have a few more so I'll see about putting them here. BR
Haven't relaxed all that much. 20 years ago the newest was a 48, 20 years later and the newest one is a 69 Chevelle SS. 48+20=68.
I get 4 weeks vacation a year. I'd save it all for the drive of a lifetime. Put me on your list of prospects!
Ya mean this one? I was talking to the guy when they were here in Lubbock yesterday and he said it got 2-1/2 MPG! Its got a continental 1800 CU engine with 3 AFB's on each side. It quite a rig. I'm sure the rest of the cars give him the right of way since he has the biggest tires!
Hey, I dont care what any of the rest of you think, Corky Coker is a super nice guy as far as I'm concerned. I walked up to him as he was getting out of his Buick when they stopped here at Lubbock and when he saw me in my HAMB shirt he said 'theres a guy from the HAMB', shook my hand and acted like he had found a friend in a crowd of strangers. I got to talk with him about 5 minutes or so and he told me to get someone to take our pic. You know how some people act like they dont have the time for you, will he's not one of them. After 5 min. I felt like I had taken up enough of his time on a 20 min rest stop and left him alone. While we were talking a young man about 12 came up to look at his car and touched the chrome exaust and got burned. Corky immediately grabbed some ice out of his chest and gave it to him to put on the burn and made sure he was ok. Heres the pic of Corky, myself (center) and Cecil. Cecil has a couple acres of Tri 5 chevy parts so if anybody needs anything I can get you in touch with him.
Oh, thought I'd throw this one in. Got Corky to autograph my Hamb shirt. Wife has instructions, cold water wash only!
