Boy I really lkie this shot

 

Kirk,
Thanks for taking time to post updates of the trip, I greatly appreciate your time and efforts.
Is Chad going to make a movie of this adventure?

 

I envy that they can get that many cars to committ to a trip like that. It was awesome seeing all of them in Indy. Thanks for all of the updates.

 

I'm down in the bar shooting the shit and watching drag racing with Andy. I'll do a quick update whdn I get back to the room.

Just got back from Indy last night.

The cars on the tour where awesome. The T-bird looked great with the altittude adjustment.

I ran into Kirk! at the swap Saturday morning. He was buying a few new friends to keep the clown company on the way home.

I had a great conversation with the owner of one of the Rodfather tour cars. His '34 Tudor was getting a broken panhard bar mount fixed at Jokerrs shop just before Jo's open house. It was neat hearing about the trip from another participant.

KIRK!, I'll see you at Hot Rod Garage tomorrow morning...Donna says Hi...

 

Awesome. Wonder if I can drop by the hotel and meet the gang and check out the rides.

Of course you can...ain't no law against cruising over to a motel to check out some rides...everyone else has done it along the way to Indy, including me...

R-

 

Ya'll should try the 72oz steak at the Big Texan Steak house in Amarillo.....free if you can eat it and all the trimmings in an hour. I was there in June and watched a guy eat it. Waaaaay too much food for me in one sitting!! My wife and I did get a piece of carrot cake to take back to the hotel, and it filled a large "to go" plate, must have weighed a couple of pounds. They even offer free limo service to the restaurant from the hotels. Most of all have fun, be safe, and keep us updated on the trip.

 

Oh, cool. What's good for dinner around here?

 

Hell yeah.

 

Good seeing ya for a min there. Figured we'd catch you before you left but you where gone before we surfaced.

 

Yeah, sorry. The guys I was cruising with left. Good to catch you though.

 

Kirk please thank everyone on the tour for me.I talked to many of the tour group and they were all very friendly.I talked to Sid Chavers and Darrly Hollenback for quite some time.Those two are really down to earth.Congrats on them both being involed with the Hot Rod of the year pick.Fantastic car that was well built.Someday i hope to drive out west with my car and look forward to meeting everyone again.

 

DAY TWELVE.....

OK, back at it!

We left Indy yesterday at noon and headed for St. Louis, stopping at RIdeTech in Jasper, Indiana on the way. RideTech was a great stop and the products coming from them are seemingly endless.

In St. Louis we had two stops. I don't have the names here in front of me, but they were private collections. One high-end and one more traditional. Both cool!

Today we stopped at Darryl Starbird's museum in Oklahoma. It's packed with a great cross-section of show rods. I've never been a show rod fan, but I shot some stuff anyway for you guys.

TOnight we're in Sand Springs, OK. One stop tomorrow and ending up in Amarillo, TX.
