sorry for the delayed reply, i'm doing ok, haven't been out much, but made it to the good guys show in springfield, man, was that a huge show! I remember the shows at the sheriden on rt12, near the end everyone was tearin' ass out of there.
NP glad your doing well. GG is a big show wnet a few years ago. Yeah sheriden was good but that kind of BS that guys where pulling was the end getting drunk and leaving there and crashing that was the last straw and everyone was warned. I didnt pull out in traffic from kimballs or when anyoneelse was coming and looked at the exit on other end It was just me but probably gotta look at it like the law does and the manager of the show... I am just a Hoodlum but only on fridays usually
i agree dave, some of the stuff people pulled there was stupid, but the hotel didn't have a problem selling them the booze, even after it happened a few times
Here`s a video of a thrashing on 32 go to 8 minutes or so I took a ride with my son and had him video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1u3b4OUxjM
Yup the only way to roll.... lol gotta take it easy dont want to break stuff! Thanks mark gotta have some fun once in awhile. I miss the speed and racing from the other money pit i have. Yup i am bringing alt of memories back for the cops in town and the oldr guys who are setting at the coffe shop at niight watching me tear up the streets Thanks man! I gotta get a day video! YA... we had the 3/4 race cam in it but wasnt enough so we went full race instead still tuning on it got a certain pick up truck with all the electrical boxes etc Fuel injected that will be at the drags going to try and give him a little competition! I find myself looking for people who want to get out and drive there cars but its hard to find. I had agreat time driving it to THE SILVER CITY SHAKEDOWN IN MERIDEN CT with dualquad55 that was a good trip and the get together was aswell there needs to be more of them type of days.

Good luck, and may the force be with you....and your AAA card! Sent from my DROID device using the TJJ mobile app
Thanks daddyo it`s 167 miles there and 167 miles back one long ass ride, the longest trip i been is 114 miles and then 114 back and lost the tranny 2 miles from home... I could trailer but what fun is that. I hope i dont have any problems cause the rest of the month and next month are some really cool get togethers.
You could make some short stop on the way. that would brake up the ride. Also oxford plains dragway is near there. nice track! Jared
the first day we got our Plymouth going (after months of issues), we took it half way across the state to a show and totalled 150 miles that day. She performed admirably. good luck!
Was thinking that Jared didn`t see what was going on there yet. Been to the roundy round races there never the drag strip though. FG glad it all worked out. It should be ok just no secondary roads to make it more fun than going up 95. Thanks I need all the good luck I can get
Some pics from my trip to the 40th Downeast street rods show IK some of these are OT but really cool escpecially the orange ford pick up
Yup Jake did gooood I would drive this car to california i still need to work out some things but its not bad I really need to put mufflers on it over 40 its ok but a under i tickles your ear drums. I cant complain and this show was one to put on the calender. Met a bunch of good people Randy who built the 35 ford and the 2 sedans is a cool cat aswell as his friends. Had a real good time ended up staying over (Not planned) but it worked out thanks to steve for giving me my own tent to stay in. We rodeoed about 25 cars around the camp ground open headers flaming exhaust til 1am just a good time.
