Event Coverage More KKOA Sled Scene East

There are already a few KKOA threads but I figured one more couldn't hurt. Sorry for not formally getting to meet more HAMBers, but i had some slight issues with the car that finally got smoothed out. Had a great time though, and hope it grows for next year. Time for some pictures.

 

Time for a few videos

Very nice work, thanks for posting.

 

cool pics...what was the overall turnout of the event? show cars...drag cars?

 

Wish I had gone. My car is a little under the weather still. I'll be there next year....I hope.

 

There were a lot more cars showing and cruisin the grounds than racing, primarily a more custom crowd for sure.

chopper99, I loved your car, and your buddy's merc. Its a shame we didn't get to set up more grudge matches for sunday.

And i just wanted to add that local fella and good friend Bob Badger took home the goodguys award and the match off award with his 1950 Ford g***er. The car runs consistent 11's and he hit 115 mph for the first time this weekend. Congrats to Bob and all other award winners.

 

The other day I was wondering about this sled. I didn't know that this
was still around. I saw it in Wichita at the 20th lead sled specatular.

Very kool. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Happy Trails,

Mick

Laidback:

Walked by your ride and you guys were thrashin on it, so I didn't bother you.

I agree, this show has all the workings to be a great event.

Hope it grows next year!

 

Nice post Kenny, I remember talking to Bob Badger at last years all ford nationals and he was just then talking about wanting to build a g***er style 50 ford. That thing turned out very nice, probably my favorite car there.

Wonder if he knows about the Jalopy drags?

 

WOW cool pictures .Thanks for posting them.
