  2. Some of us from the Aurora area plan on being there.
     
  3. Your flyer shows pre 1966, would that mean my 1966 valiant doesnt qualify? It did spend some time running at Oswego, as well as US 30 in the early seventies.
     
  4. ...had a great time there last year; I'm expecting a lot of my fellow Tin Butchers club members will show up again....nice location.

    Always a good time! Great lineup, too!

    John, you're from Iowa... you won't any trouble finding something in the middle of nowhere. ;)
     
  13. Here is the valiant as seen at the hunnert car heads up. not exactly traditional. I wish I had some pictures from it's racing past, but can tell you it didnt look to much different 30 years ago.

    I think the sign at the corner blew down and a good samaritan put it back wrong, because I'm pretty sure it was pointing the wrong way. :D

    I am gonna get there early to be sure to get a good spot - then I am going to put out about 16 lawn chairs all in a row to reserve for my friends that will show up about noon.

    That is acceptable right?
