Event Coverage Annual MidWest HAMB-B-Q, April 25th!!!!

Yes Folks, it's time to start planning to make the trip to the Annual MidWest HAMB-B-Q on Saturday April 25th.

This year we will meet at the Valley Cafe in Marquette KS on Saturday morning, grab some breakfast, and then head to the Kansas Motorcycle Museum. Then we will motor over to Abilene KS to Brown Memorial Park for some BBQ and other eats.

After some lazy car oriented conversations we will jet to Kuntz's Drive-In in Abilene for some choc malts etc. Then on down to the Rancho del Sweet for more grub and Movies On The Barn (tm).

Hotel accomodations may be reserved at the Diamond Motel in historic Abilene. Or you may fight over the shop couch at my place. Bring your RV or tent for the budget minded and set up on my lawn, just watch out for those pesky chickens laying eggs on your sleeping bag.

Last year was the best ever, and again I want to thank all those that helped out.

I look forward to seeing everyone again!!!

 

Sweet.....

 

I gotta mark the calendar. Is the park kid friendly...i.e. is there a playground? Hell even a rope swing off a tree would suffice.

 

Yes. The park is kid friendly, there is an older style playground on the way in. There is even a Nature Trail!

The kids will LOVE Kuntz's also!!!!

 

I'm so there!

 

We will be starting a pool to see what part of Kerry's coupe he breaks on this trip.

I got 5 bucks on a rear wheel bearing....

 

Yes. It's the weekend AFTER the RoundUp and BEFORE the Stray Cat!!!

 

wouldn't miss it! I need to get to work on my ride.

 

We will also have a guided tour of the "Impact Zone" where I crashed my coupe- the 4th power pole down from my driveway....

 

Hooray................

 

...and also going for rides in the coupe!?

Wow, that looks like fun. We're working on our plans for the Annual Czar-B-Q in May. We'll keep you posted.

 

I've got $5 bucks on running outta gas.

 

I hope he breaks something so we can see him fix it.

 

you're not kidding!

 

Ha! Any takers on a broken water pump shaft, broken dist rotor, shattered pressure plate, or do you think I'm going to try something new? Guess you guys will have to start a pool on me. ;-D

 

####---- Just stay clear of the 4th power pole !! I hear it's bad luck >>>>.

 

Its also the new and therefore less forgiving one.

 

I once saw Jay Sweet bend a wishbone around a tree. He drops his own axles by hand. One time he had a flat on an impala so he just punched a hole in the ground under that axle. I have seen him in the middle of a ghetto with a chocolate shake and a prostitute wouldn't even look at him.

Last time I was hanging out with Jay Sweet he was like "There's a utility pole up the road that doesn't fit the cut of my jib." Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

 

$19 says you and Kerry run into EACH OTHER

 

Although, I heard "his milk shake brings all the girls to the yard"

 

We'll be there in the roadster if the weather holds, might try the "new" 41 pickup if the weather goes bad.

BTW - I'm thinking bad u-joint........

 

damn right.. his is better than yours.

oh.. my guess for kerry is something electrical this time.. maybe distributor related

 

i got $50 says kerry ends up with a piece of telephone pole splinter goin through the radiator

 

10$ on Kerry having a fix in his pocket!!

Viva-La-Abilene.............HAMB-BBQ

 

Was there 2 years ago and it was great! Will try to get back this year.

 

Mr. Jim and I will be there with bells and whistles!!!

We just want to see who tears up what!

Hamb-b-q!!! what can I say? I'll be there.... without the cooper! long live the Hamb-B-Q!

What is all this betting that Kerry will do something to get some attention? He always makes it home, I think that he plans all this out, he has the repair planned long before he leaves home. How else do you explain having the right size feeze plugs, and also throwing off a blower pulley and being able to fix it just as the hardware store is closing? and ......

You are a ruler Kerry. Keep that poncho motoring..

 

I'm just the reverse buddy. Transplanted from Wichita in'73 Now I'm up here freezing my ass off and waiting to get the rod on the road.
I miss Spring the most.

 

Wow I'm surprised how many people from Kansas there are on here. I've been reading the HAMB for a while now but I never paid attention to where all everyone was located.

My dad and I will make out to see everyone's stuff, unfortunately we don't have a hot rod of our own to bring but it sounds like a good time anyway.
