Event Coverage The Jalopy Journal covers the Meltdown Drags

That was scary, just watched the video,

 

words. you're good with those.

 

That mustache does all the talking....great coverage!

I hope the driver has a quick recovery and the cool digger gets all fixed up.....scary for sure!

 

Just watched the video. Looks like the driver was heads up enough to realize there was a problem and figured going forward was a better option than backing it up at a high rate of speed to where there were people. Unfortunately it came around on him and hit the wall. The impact with the wall might have knocked him out, but not before saving many more people. Hats off and hoping for a quick and uneventful recovery.

 

Glad u guys made it home safe was great talking to u also hope u come back next year thanks again for coming Jeff

 

It was great meeting you guys, I really had a great time this year and that had a lot to do with the people I knew and the people I met. Also, I ran 12.47 - not my best... but I didn't break anything... and that's always good.
I, like many others, am already looking forward to next year.

 

Those are the two coolest guys there!!! ha ha, I was sporting my newly purchased Sinclair tshirt from the Krome and Kandy show. Had a great time, def will be back, hopefully all weekend next time or at least saturday. There were some fast rides there!! Nice coverage.

 

Great thread!

 

Thanks a ton for the coverage, picts and article. Sounds like you 4 had a great trip. We've got Eagle Field on the west coast and wouldn't miss it for the world.
Glad the fed driver is ok. Nitro is not kind to the lungs. Ribs will heal. Here's hoping there's no lasting effects.

 

Great article. Glad to hear you made it back home.

 

looks like you guys had a great time,,,so did i thanks for the thread

 

Some violent **** right there! Could have been so much worse
Track Gods were with him and everyone else within range. Glad he made it through!

 

Were glad that the twisted pistons had a great time, always nice seeing your cars roll in!

 

i love this one...

 

Me too Steve! I don't know how, but I missed it and never got to see it until Joey was looking through his pictures on Sunday night.

 

that car didnt race it was in the show corral

 

Heres my footage of that digger accident.

 

...one of my favorite race cars, former Famosa Speed Shop car, driven by Rocky Childs,...geees only two 37 Chevy coupe g***ers...




...and this guy is old school cool; heard he's 78 years old, but man he can shift that 4 speed, fast car...

 

Glad he is ok just some broken ribs that could have been very bad. You guys put on a great event hope to see you there in 2014.


Trouble

 

We hope to see you there Trouble!

 

With some luck....A 34 Chevy coupe will be there next year. Cadillac powered, too.

 

Man, that was a great time. Just thinking ahead; with 'rona taking over the world and then my wedding thing in July, I guess the HAMB drags will be the next trip on my itenerary. If you can make it to that, you should come a few days early and we can leave on Thursday morning. If you won't be coming for that, maybe we can plan some sort of road trip in the fall?
