Pete--The coupe turned out amazing brother...Nice Job!!

Hope to see you soon and all is well...Tom

 

all i can say is,you boys are some bad mother****ers,and i envy the **** out of you guys,now that was a long and beautiful trip in those bad *** hotrods........richie......

 

Take them up to Lake McConaughy, I heard they like long walks on sandy beaches too....

 

Really cool...You've got GUTS!!! Can we join you guys in 2010 on the trek w/ our rides? We went to Bville this year and also met alot of eastcoaster's w/ cars on the salt. We might be driving a coe car hauler also. I hope the So What guys will hook up too. Joe Here are some more Bville pics and videos at the site. www.powerandnoise.com

 

Thanks for the pics of the epic road trip. Love to see more.

 

great pics guys!!!! thats a helluva atrip.. im green with envy!!

 

Would love to put a road trip like this together!!

 

Thanks for the sharing. I saw you guys a speedweek, and you have some bad*** cars. I really like the green coupe, I took alot of pics.

Thats such a cool story. The ride is the entire point.

 

Where were we. Oh yeah closing in on Utah. We were definitely pulling some long days. By the time we got into the mountains everybody's fuel economy dropped by at least 20%, some by as much as 50.





But by the end fourth day this happened.




There's salt in the background and Jared is ****ing stoked!



Anyone that says anything gets any cooler than this has nothing in common with me.



More later.

 

Amazing!

I love that 33! Say..what grill shell is that? Its perfect.. Is that car (and the 27) posted on the HAMB, anywhere?

 

well the only thing cooler would be if My coupe was in that line up

 

These are some great guys and they have some kick*** cars. It was great to meet them on their way home. Even if it was because of Jareds roadster being BROKE in East Podunk ( Byers ),Colorado.

Bad ***... looks like you guys had the time of your life...

 

What a COOL Thread! Thanks for posting!

I missed seeing your cars at Bonneville, but this makes up for it!

 

Wow - cool stuff fellas. You've inspired us to try in 2010

 

A lot of guys have said this thread is inspiring them to do the same trip. I have to say if you have the means to you should make every effort to do it. Ive gone cross country more than once and this trip was one of the best I've ever been on. The next time we do it though I think we're going to do a HAMB relay campout, where we leapforg from one unsuspecting back yard to the next, all the way to Utah!

 

Great Idea! If we go in '10 it'll be a tent, Spam-n-cheap beer trip for sure.
I met you guys the night you rolled in, and I think Pete coulda driven another 10 hours strait he was so stoked! I'm sure the trip was almost half the fun.

those rides are bad***!

 

That were some beautiful pictures ! I would love to go there just one time , well maybe 2 but would be very happy with one time !

 

I always admired youse guys, ever since I attended one of your shows at Ralph's. Great pics, and I hope to join you one of these years, as you p*** thru Pa, on your way to the Salt.

 

Well that doesn't help me get through the New England winter, but it sure helps me with this Minnesota winter that I'm stuck in.

 

Well we had arrived and the salt was better than it had been in years (so I'm told). We took a few shots to do***ent the moment and then went to watch the racing.







Simard's cahhr



There were a bunch of east coasters out there, including Dave Simard. If I remember right he went 139 mph in the above roadster, that is before he blew up the three speed toploader that he was running. When asked to elaborate he said "You know in the shop I had a nice built up muncie and all the adapters and stuff to use it but at the last minute I looked over on the shelf and saw that toploader and said ahh I like using that old ****". Well that old **** didn't like to be power shifted into second. Anyways they managed to make a bunch of runs before that happened. This dude is ******** he had room at the nugget but decided to sleep on the ramp of his trailer everynight so he could party at the end of the road campground instead, my hero.

 

Great pics. You captured the thrill of adventure of a long run in a Hot Rod.
The sleeping bag on the side of the road gives it drive til you drop Easy Rider feel.

 

You've inspired me!! 2010 it is - and none of this hotel **** for me either .

 

Hi Pete
thanks for the ride in the Coupe (mutch better than Sleeze's ****gin vagon) what a perfect car you buildt,,,,wow

Exelent pics gonzo, looks like you guys had an awesome trip out there.

 

Mommy!!!
man i have got to get one.......

 

Very cool you guys made the trek! I talked to you guys on Tharsday and shot some pictures of the cars. It humbles me that you guys mad the effort to come as i only have 95 mile to get there. I drive fast on the highway so the trip flew by. Still a good time no matter how far you come.
Brian.

 

Cool stuff, looks like a blast.
