It's Raining in Joplin

That is not stopping the fun though. The Thunderbolts just built a car in the parking lot under borrowed EZ ups.







We have been wondering all night just how do they do this?





Here is a pic from the trip down to Joplin. Fiddy Four met me in Minnesota and we drove through really bad rain all through Iowa, it cleared up when we got to Missouri where we met up with No Surf in KC. He took us to Albert Drakes BBQ in KC. Wow what a sandwich.


That be No Surf and Fiddy Four, he was flat towing the Willys PU.

Is FiddyFour's Willy's Rocky's old one? It looks sweet!

I hope you guys didn't get the shit we just got, yuk. But we were due for some good "boomers" anyway, it's only rained like, twice, all summer.

Wish I was there.

hope you guy`s get some good weather for tomorrow watch out for them thunderbolt`s?

 

The owner of our shop just got back from wesconcin and was bummed it rained the four days they were there, non stop. He's lucky he was't here welding and grinding in the high 90s.......

 

Here is the completed race car, it sounds awsome, can't wait to see it run tomorrow.




Phat Rats 41

Can't remember the town, I know they went to a good guys event on saturday................................

 

We made it from west texas. 600+ miles. Was hoping to make it before dark but got caught in one HELL of a thunderstorm about 100 miles south of Joplin and decided to stop at a bbq joint at pryor OK for some great food and wait it out. We got here about 9:00 and there is still quite a crowd at the Ramada parking lot. ( we are down the street at the Best Western so maybe it will be quiet enough to get some sleep!) Hey if it rains tomorrow there will still be one hell of a party.

 

Nothing like swapmeet shopping in the RAIN........
two years in a row.
the rain has let up some,
see ya at track. hope it's dry.

crap, more thunder, it's raining again.....!!!!

 

I didn't know Fiddy got color on his truck. Looks sweet, more pics of that please.

 

Maybe it's time to relocate the HAMB drags...............it NEVER rains around here in August.

 

I just checked the radar and forecast. Looks like the rain has passsed and should be partly cloudy with a high of 88 for the drags today. Bitchin

"A Hot Rod (Glenn) Racefab (Freddy) and I can't believe I forgot his name already, it's just been an hour ago. Well he ain't on the board anyway and he came with Glenn".
That other kat is our pal John, known here on the HAMB as "Wyle E Coyote". Here in Florida he's J.O. Hope the weather cooperates for you guys. Have fun, Mike

 

The GG's event was in Madison but I heard that it got rained out on Saturday.

...the rain has stopped in Tulsa and is moving out of the area. Should be a great racing day...the Ramrods are leaving in about an hour. See you all shortly...

 

Forcast for Joplin today..sunny and mid 80's

 

rainy day at the Hamb drags is better than a sunny day at the house. Wish you were here!

 

I wish we had the rain here ...
It has been over 100 degrees for 14 days in a row ( old record was 12 days ... set in 1900 ) ...

Would LOVE to be at the HAMB drags ... but could not make it this year ...
maybe 08 in the 3W ...

I would like to thank all the Thunderbolts and everybody that helped in the assembly of the car in the rain. And the disassembly Saturday night. We couldn't have put the motor in or taken it out by ourselves. Can't wait till next year.

 

Congratulations Jack!!! Winner of the HAMB comp roadster class. 2nd year in a row!

 

...it is what it is... a "2 @ 20" paint job.. great at 2am from 20 feet ...pics manyanna

 

Bob, I was standing next to Ryan when the car went together. His grin was ear to ear. I heard him throw out his bestest compliment "this is RAD".
