    It was rain last year also, but can you trust the weather until it happens ?? time to get a poncho
     
  2. You cant shop in the rain? So if we meet up do have to help haul out each others stuff? If so nobody better buy anything to heavy! Dont want this to seem like work right?

  3. If were posting pics I kind of look like this. Just bring lots of candy.

  7. That works for me, I cant remember where you get to the track, is it by the grandstand or do you walk to the end of the stands, been a couple years since I was there.

    The main entrance is by turn # 1 at the SE corner of the track. It is the first corner you come to when you come up the main driveway. The ticket booth / entrance is behind the wooden bleachers and located east of the steel center grandstands.

    I'll try to meet you guys there but the 10 minute drive from my house is a killer and I may get stuck in traffic!

    I found a ratchet strap to replace the one that broke after picking up my frame on the way there. Then a buddy found an antique fire extinguisher. I couldnt find anything I NEEDED and couldn't walk away with.

    My wife decided she wouldn't go to any more swap meets with me, just shows. She was bored and knew I couldnt look at everything with her there.

    Well to those who went, I only met one HAMBer. Nice to meet you Brad

    yeah by the time i got around it was 10:45 i bought a few vintage signs, and a new key rack to hang up, i picked up an old schwinn bike for 5$ and i plan on chopping and streching it and making it a custom bike some saddle bags for my custom motorcycle project


    It was a bad morning, we were up until 1am fixing (trying to fix i guess) the truck trailer wiring, then we left at 5am from waterloo, got to cedar rapids, and blew the pump seal out of the 250 and lost all ****** fluid, so the local gas station had some ATF added it and drove it to the track, and had to trailer the truck home


    NOT FUN, but i got some stuff sold and some stuff will be going to s**** monday becuase i cant have it sitting around what a long day

    I wandered by the track gate around 10:30 I didn't see a bunch of guys standing around so I kept going. I didn't buy much but I did get wet and hungry.

    Yea the rain kept me movin rather than head over to the grand stands. Wanted to meet up with PoPo but never found him either. The three things I went back to buy got sold right in front of me, even that 79 Malibu wagon. lol I only got two car club plaques from the guy on the track and a 1/87 scale 55 Chevy. It was not a lot of spendin out of my pocket there. Hopefully the Model A didn't sell when I call him back. :)
