Event Coverage *PICS* Shelby's Shoot-Out and Hot Rod Get Together 2011

Event coverage from the 1st Annual Get Together, in ***ociation with the Shoot Out at Mountain Park Dragway located in Clay City, Ky.

I know John B has already started posting some cool pics, but I thought I'd start a new thread because I took several pictures...

I was feeling pretty good about being the first car to show up at the Get Together...



Then I noticed Razin Cain was there before me:


And another one was hiding in the beans (I think he was there before Mark!):


Then the Dillehay boys showed up and started putting up the banner:


Clyde rolled in with his truck, so we started a row:

 

Kirby did an awesome job with the Shelby's V8 design:


The drag cars started rolling in early:



And the Test & Tune followed shortly thereafter:




Stan (fuel10922) was busy running Tech:


And then the Hot Rods began to pour in:

 

Some of the race cars weren't bad looking, either:




And now a word from our sponsors:



Back to the Get Together:

 

And a few more:




And finally, the Top 25 awards:

 

JohnB took some pics of the first event, held back in 1961. <-- that means I'm joking.

Everybody who participated in the Get Together also got to take a run down the strip. Here is me and Hot Rod Bob:


Some other pics from John B...

 

Great pic's Joe!

 

Thanks for the photos, Joe!

I hope to make it down that way for one of these events someday....

Great coverage Joe! It was a long day, but I had a blast. This is a cool event that will continue to grow.

 

Thanks for the pics, seen a few cars I know from around home. This is the first I know of the show, will watch for next year time and date.

 

Joe, great pics and had a lot of fun at the show!

It's too bad you were so fast on the track that no one could get an action shot

 

cool pics...

 

Yeah...we had guys from Indy and Beech Grove, Indiana. Hope to see you next year!

 

Hey Hot Rod Bob, is that you in that beautiful car? Jeez, what a waste of machinery...

 

Is that orange Mopar sedan delivery the El Mosquito version 2?

 

Wow! Great pics of a great day. Thanks Hot Rod Joe. And everyone else for a great time. Worth the drive. I'll see you all again next year.

 

nice 35 master except for the upchuckin wheels

 

LMFAO!!! I'll p*** that on!

 

Dave did you get to make a p***?

 

yea that was me Joe but here's a view you should be familiar with

 

Nope after the awards we ****ged ***. My buddy with the '35 Chevy was having electrical issues and battery wouldn't hold a charge so we headed back to Indy. Man I really wanted to make a p*** but that just gives me one more reason to make the return trip in 2012. Oh yeah the electrical issues ('35 Chevy) was short in the cruise control wires. Who needs cruise control???

 

More pics from the shoot out

 

Hot Rod Joe. I'd like to have a picture of my car with some of that old picture magic you do. We'll have to figure something out.

 

It's hard to beat negative reaction times!

 

Actually, John B did the aged photo magic...if you got a particular pic you want done, I'll try to get that fixed up for you. Just let me know.

The only picture I had of your car had this late model in the back ground. But like Joe said send me a good shot and I'll be happy to play around with it.
