AZ's Southwest Nostalgia Drags

Here is a pic of my bike, I just moved back from Chicago where I was working for The Roadster Shop. I am a long time AZ boy and missed the last couple events. Man I am stoaked!

 

LMAO!
I'll wear my HAMB tag in a SEMA badge holder (we don't need no stinkin' badges!) just like last week.

 

Fantastic! That will be easy.

 

Mark,
Will they be selling methanol at the track on Saturday?

 

hey SPIKE...looks like fun, hope you have a big turnout! we're having a BIG rod and custom show in DENTON TEXAS. so i won't be able too attend. good luck with your venue...POP.

 

For those wondering where to find the H.A.M.B. out at the Nostalgia drags this weekend, I just got off the phone with Spike, and Craig smith (The Liberace) and myself Chip Quinn will be hosting a meet and greet table at the base of the tower. We should be pretty easy to find just look for the H.A.M.B. banners. Oh, also either look for the absolutely gorgeous pearl white and purple panelled '32, or the double ugly '48 Plymouth from hell, you guess which is more likely!!!!! See ya there!!!!

 

I'm sure they will. They are having a big Wally race then.
You can call Chuck O @ 602 -558-6803

 

back to the top

 

I'll be there around noon or later. Who wants to race??

 

I'll be there with my primer black '66 GTO and also doing some announcing in the tower.
Weather looks good too.
See you there.

Steve

Hey Spike,

Was able to get the day off. I'll be there if you need back up, if not, I'll be there to enjoy the show. See you all there.

 

Thanks Steve, for posting the Nov. 28th races. My son and I will be there.

 

I've been helping out with announcing in the tower and Glen ran a 9.96 earlier this morning. I think that is his new best. congrats!

Did anyone get any pictures from today? I'd usually have a few to post but I was running the car today and didn't want to lug around the camera.

 

I saw the guy from My Ride Is Me....he always takes great pictures.

They will probably be up in a day or two.

 

Hey guys - Just wanted to say thanks to all of you that stopped by the HAMB hospitality booth today! It was good to finally put some faces with the names I read here. I'm hoping the hospitality booth becomes a permanent thing, cause I've got some ideas for next go round in March to make it more fun! Special thanks to 49Flatty for your help with parking in the car show, much needed help it was! Great to meet you all thanks.

 

I took a few...

Once again , thanks to everybody for another record turnout! Recession? What recession? We refuse to participate.
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet some of you, but there's always next time.
We've got a bunch more pics and videos to come out. We're working on getting them all in one place on our website.
In the meanwhile, I want to get this posted here.

Ever since we started out with this deal , we've always given out one or more awards at every event, to The Arizona Hot Rod Pioneers .
These are the rodders, racers, builders and so on, that everybody in the state knows, because of their abilities, accomplishments, and their all around good nature towards their fellow car guys and gals.

This is the first time we've given this award out, posthumously.

Dwayne Lee Whitlach was a long time Funny car and Dragster driver and mechanic who had recently passed away.
One of Dwayne's last wishes was that his ashes be dispersed from a 'chute, to forever be part of the landscape at Speedworld dragstrip.

They now are.....



Paula and Vic's B/GD dragster, who graciously helped us with Dwayne's wishes
