It's a great show. Always great cars there. I haven't been in a few years, nut I recommend it. I might make it...

 

I can't believe I'm missing all the events in June. Between this, HAMB BBQ and LA Roadster show, I'm seriously bummed.

 

Dammit! You WILL be there!!! If you can make it, that is.

 

I don't suppose it would make you feel better if I said I would take pictures, would it? Or... you could just NOT move?

 

I'll be there of course. So will our car.

 

Great timing guys!! Same day as El Mirage. Whats that now?? 2 out of the last 3 years its coincided with El Mirage. Damn, damn, damn!

 

I'll be there for sure. I plan to race my black, full fendered Deuce Tudor.

See ya there.

 

Sweet! See ya' there Mike!!

I'm in. I have plans on running my car this year. Finally.
.

 

I'm trying to talk my wife into celebrating our first anniversary there! Fingers crossed.

 

I plan to be there reuniting with our other '53 Studebaker. The one that didn't try to kill me!

 

It sounds great, but I might be busy that day

 

I've been to this event in the past when it was up in Palmdale...awesome!!

I can't make it though, since I'll be down in Irvine for the VW Cl***ics.

Uh oh..............did I say that out loud?!

 

Too busy for us, Danny??

 

Hey everyone. We are taking our Flathead Dragster to the Antique Nationals. I sure hope there are other Flathead Dragsters showing up. Back in the 70's we had about 30 Flathead Dragsters at the Ant. Nats. Wish I knew where they all went to! See you there.
Our car is a 1958 te440 ch***is research named "The Antique Doll".

I heard about this. How much are they charging to walk in as a spectator? Does anyone know?

 

A buddy of mine has just finished a complete rebuild on his flathead dragster and will be taking it - he was the announcer for the Antique Nationals for many years. I plan on being there.

 

It's ok, we'll have all the fun for you and school is more important anyways.

 

I will see you there ron

 

i'll be there.

 

Getting close. I can't hardly wait!!!!

 

Now I know there's no need to remind you all, but .....

All you guys have to take lots and lots of pictures of the event for all of us out-of-towners, and post'em here or at least post a link to your pictures.

 

I still have to fetch another HAMBster engine that we have up in Tehachapi and swap it in.

At least the tow car's ready to go this time.

 

I dont know if you can see my flyer but it says General Admission is $25 for Adults... little more expensive then it was was up in Palmdale, but still worth it of course..

 

Yeah, a little pricey. Quality of the cars is worth it though!

 

Dennis Wyle is usually there with the 3 window. Get some wheels up pics pls.
Thanks, Ron

 

dam...........I will be in Ohio visiting my son and new grandson. missing this and BadBobs BBQ..... I will be back for LA Roadsters however
