Since there are so many countless threads already covering the drags, be it photo or thanks, I figured i would consolidate it into one. This tenth year of the HAMB drags was by far the most fun we have had. We went into the deal trying to get the Little Honker to make some decent , era correct smokey passes and i feel that this year was the closest we have come to accomplishing it. Thank you to Ryan and his group, all of our friends that we have met thru the event over the years, CARL especially for letting us run our vintage equipment and having the understanding and appreciation of the history involved, and to the countless people who have taken such great pictures and video of the weekend. It is really flattering to see so many shots of our machinery. Richcraft Mike- always helping us and in the same mindset. Fuck the rockstars, we will keep on going rounds. Our hometown bud Randy, who travels everywhere we go with us. He holds down the fort, swings some merchandise and is just a great guy to have along for the ride. And also a big shout to Denise - Thank you so much for being a part of our deal saturday, it was a time trip to be at the end of the track with the engine steaming and the chute on the ground, get out of the car, and here comes the station wagon full of everybody blasting the horn like we had just won final round. Just like the old days- Too bitchin. We will be heading to the SHOWDOWN DRAGS here in a few weeks, hope to see some more of you up there! Thanks! A couple pictures, here is the last run of the day, Joey Ukrop photo.. Me in the LUMP.. Getting ready to try and take out the right side guardrail,,, Seadog here on the HAMB took this great photo!

Thank You guys for bringing out some amazing vintage race cars and being willing to run them hard. Sure made for some cool photos.
Thank you Ryan! We have always strived to build these drag cars that are just simply, exactly how they were. And run them, exactly (as close as possible with todays tracks) to how they were run. I appreciate all you have done man, and we will continue to support it! We are not done yet, thats for sure! TH
You guys rule. Thank YOU for entertaining old guys like me who remember cars like yours as being the top dawgs back in the 60s when I was just an excited kid at the drags It was a real honor to meet y'all and shake your hands

You and your father are the real deal. I look forward to getting up with you guys again and I'd like to make the Jalopy Showdown Drags. I'll tell you what you drive "The Bump", your father can take care of "little honker" and just throw me the keys to "The Shocker". Congrats guys!!!
You guys killed it. As period perfect as it can be. Right cars, right track, right people. I'm stoked for next year.
