We did this for the first time last year and it was a huge success,,we are still working out the details on overnight accommodations for folks that wish to come on Friday. Here are some past threads covering the All Deuces Run. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...=all+deuce+run http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run These threads show that this is a driving event ... not a sit around in the shade gathering. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...all+deuces+run Thanks to Tom (seadog) for the the great promo photos.

Exclusive Deuce. Good idea. (the only thing Deuce I've got is the frame & running gear...a '27 T body sits up top.) Short Deuce story: In 1978, noted Calif. builder Harry Craycroft (Bay Area Roadsters member) went to the Nats, in his white Highboy roadster...when he pulled into the grounds, members of the hosting club quickly ******ed him into the Deuce Corral. Harry and his p***enger thought, "Cool, great place to park..." Noontime, they came back to the roadster only to find a less-than-welcoming committee waiting for them. The Deuce Corral's overseers somehow inadvertently availed the hallowed ground to Harry's '31 Roadster on '32 rails! Harry laughingly moved his car to 'friendlier territory'...
Forget about this thread Danny. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=854651&highlight=all+deuces+run Hopefully May and I will be able to make it this year.
That's about 850 miles,not too bad,you could come a few days early and check out the NASCAR museum and check out a few shops. I'm planing a trip to Michigan for the '54 Ford convention which is about the same distance,,gonna try and emulate my old pal Randy and play Road Dog! HRP
As soon as you get some plans (motel, Friday night get together) please post. Looking hard at coming down. Sounds like lots of fun. John
I REALLY want to go to this. My brand new baby and her expenses will put a damper on this for a couple of years. I have two '32's that would love to take a road trip...... You guys have fun!! Please post a bunch of pics!!!
I'll stop by and send you guys off. Maybe since I'm so close ( a mile down the road) I'll have a little open garage morning from 7-9 with donuts and coffee before you guys head to Target if anyone is interested.
