Event Coverage Clutch Poppers Crash the Alberta HAMB Meet

On Sept 24 was the Alberta HAMB meet in Red Deer Alberta. Red Deer is about an hour and half south of Edmonton. Each city participating had their own meeting places, and then convoyed to Red Deer to meet at the Queens Diner for lunch.
The Edmonton group met at the Nisku Flying J at 9:30AM.

Here are our pictures!

I met Dave at his place at 8:30 AM and we cruised out to Nisku to meet up with the rest of the Edmonton cars.






Around 10:15 we pulled out to hit the highway






Johnny had to work, but his son Liam came along for the ride.


Fat Fred came along also








First thing we did once we hit Red Deer was grab some food!


After lunch we checked out the cars.

 

My Dad even cruised out with hid T-Bird. I love this car, and am so jealous of it haha

 

Dave had a little accident on the way down.


Graham sitting in Mikes Speedster


Mike let me take the speedster for a rip. It's a fun car to drive!

 

The waitress felt bad for Dave and his shirt, so they went back to the shed. When Dave came out he was wearing a different shirt








Heading back to Edmonton




Taking a break to cool down in Wetaskwin




And back in Edmonton

 

Looks like a good turnout. Maybe next year I will have my truck done so I can attend rather than spending the day working on it.

 

My old man painted butchs model a a few years back, I absolutely love that car.

 

Great pics Kid! Thanks for sharing. I will have to make an attempt to get to one of these.. So near and yet...

I like the T shirt looks cool. theres some realy cool cars as well thanks for posting.....

 

Yea I really like Butch's car too. I'd really like to do something like Butchs car with my 30 Fordor.

 

I've had visions of doing one like it since I was 16 and saw it in my dads shop for paint, and that was damn near 7 years ago. Time flies when you're broke I guess

 

Be sure you dont have any sharp objects that Fred could snag his boiler on, he'd fly around the room like a balloon that had the air let out of it. BTW, Daves new shirt rules.

this just says it all no other words needed

 

dave's new shirt is killer!

 

Looks like alot of fun was had by all. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day either. Maybe next year the '52 and I will make it out. Maybe I can persuade Jerry to bring his deuce instead of his orange ot pickup and his dad to bring his model a instead of his identical orange ot pickup next year. maybe......

 

Great Pictures! Thanks.

 

That said, their orange o/t pickups were very nice...

 

I spent some time around Red Deer a few years back ...job wasnt there when I got there ...lottsa cool rides and even better lots of raw material ! My inlaws live in Innisfail.
