You can tell these old boys are hard core, check out the tow vehicle, that is good old fashion "serious as hell, on the road, on FUEL" I got to admit 2 guys to a motel room is nice, but I kind of miss the days when there was 5 of us {at least} in a camper top like that, 90 degrees out 80% humidity and no air conditioning, and loving it!!

Great batch of Gasser pics.

 

Barb's a great lady. She still has this car and it's still in it's as last raced condition, paint and all.
