Event Coverage 2008 Hunnert car pileup pictures

The Pileup was great this year!!!
This years show was very large, I believe the 4H fairgrounds was overflowing. Clear skies, warm weather I think this year will be hard to beat. I had babysitter issues pop up on me so I drove the family minivan with the kids and my friend and a couple of his buddies drove my 31 Tudor up.

My friend and my Tudor


Duh: The moment of defeat, turned away at the gate

 

cool! Looks like it was a great show

 

Here's my kids after a full day at the Pileup.

 

Great aerial pics no way would i get up there

 

The cars were great, but let me be the first to say, wow, so many beautiful women here this year! It takes a special kind of gal to wear heels all day in gravel!

 

My favorite Hot Rod at the pile-up.....1924 "T"

 

Very cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for posting, great pics wish I was there

 

I'm really diggin' that polished van with the propeller bumper.

Doc.

 

nice birds eye view , thanks for the pics..

 

Nice pics! Yeah, it was a great time. I was just about turned away in my Caddy! It's been lowered about four inches but otherwise pretty stock. One gate was picky and the other wasn't!

 

I've never been to the pileup but why were you turned away at the gate?

I know you ain't gonna get in drivin' the mini van but the model A? HRP

 

Too stock.

No hard feelings, I knew it was 50/50 chance of getting in.
1931 DeLuxe tudor w / stock drive train

The front had been lowered using a reverse eye spring, the rims replaced with 16" 35 ford wheels the spare tire with mount and the front bumper was removed.

 

Too stock,,,,Sounds like the Hershey thread only in reverse,,,I'm sure I would be turned away in my 32 mor-door also,,,,HRP

 

Your car looks a LOT better to me than a LOT of the stuff I see in the event photos ...

 

Took the fam and had a great time. My little hot rodder got to cruise the fairgrounds in his first custom!

 

Great time yesterday at the pile up.
Pic of my trunk before I left-->

Def. be back again next year...

 

those were some great pics the one of the parking lot looked like a sea of cars. must have been a lot of people.

 

Another great year at the Pileup! Nice pics! I got a chance to do a little Swap Meet vending this year also. I think I got the "deal of the year" by buying a custom made stainless steel 15 gallon fuel tank (with filler and vents) for $70.00 dollars late in the day! Now I have what I need to complete my 27 T RPU ! GREAT event !!!!!

 

Great pics Tad! How the hell did you get that high up?!? I saw your poncho at the Lion's swap today, but not you

 

Joe,
I apologize, I went around the yellow cord and was on top of the grandstands. I thought It would make a good picture.

The Pontiac is no longer mine, I traded it to Tony and his wife susan. They are a great couple. Tony has a sharp eye, the car was lettered at one time, you had to look at the p***engers door just right but you can see" Frye's "Old Injun" " there also seens to be the remains of something on the roof just above the drip rails.

I was hoping to run into you at the show but it's just too big of a show to find someone you are looking for. Was that Raygun turning Tony away in my sedan?

 

Yeah, that's RayGun aka HotRodCh***is aka Kevin.

You don't need to apologize to me, I appreciate the shots! The Fairgrounds Staff might've kicked you out though

 

wow looks like a great turnout...thanks for posting the pix
