Ok, I just can't decide so I am calling on you guys for help. When is the ideal date for the HAMB drags for you guys? At least you can narrow it down and I can take a few dates to the track and WZ Junk... What you fellas think?
How about just keeping it the same as last year, after speed week? Seemed to work good last year...yeah, it was hot, but it's always hot in the summer. Rather be hot than raining...just my $.02. Brian
Any day is good... I don't care if I have a parole hearing that day, I'll be there. ...but Aug. 21st sounds cool. JOE
Speed Week in B'ville starts the weekend of Aug 13th/14th so the 21st is the Sat after Speed Week just like last year. I can deal with the heat and humidity much better then the cold we here in the north are experiencing right now... brrrr
Late may, june works for me. Aug 21st is too close to the fall semester for me. Way too much going on then unfortunately.
I have to go with ***dragger,late in the year works for me,Im trying to build a T roadster and I wasnt in "SLOW CL***" for nuttin!
August 21st. I might even have something that can make a full p*** this time! Maybe bring the Pinto 4cyl powered Track "T" out of mouth balls. Dean
Hey Scarliner...you outta have Kenny build us a short bus so we can relive the good ol day`s....I`ll wear my velcro shoes and we`ll have a good ol time!
[ QUOTE ] August gives me a little more building and tuning time! [/ QUOTE ] Ya, thats sounds good. Even though mine prolly wont be ready for a long drive by then ill sure as heck try!
I believe Aug. 21st is the same date as Bonneville Speed Week. Last year the drags were the week-end after, which was perfect for those returning from the salt. So I vote for after Bonneville. ------------------------------------------------------------ "OPOSSUM BENDERS" Central Missouri Chapter
late august screws a whole lot of college and other students, it's too close to the start of cl***. before or after would be fine; i'd skip funerals, weddings, other car shows... four-thirteen
I like the Saturday after Speedweek. That way the East coast guys that go to the salt can stop at the HAMB Drags on the way home and the California & NorthWest guys can have something to drive to on the way to the mid-west for the drags. And the weather is HOT, but not alot of rain in the middle of August. Rain is bad and un-predictable in the mid-west in the summer. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB1&Number=155910&fpart=1&PHPSESSID= Chris Nelson Kansas
i have no tie ups. however i noticed last time that it being 100 degrees at midday and us not starting until 10am or so made for trouble hooking up. i say spring or fall, but spring and fall are the rainy times in the midwest... just a couple things i'm sure you have considered. p.s. august is NOT fall in joplin...
august ****s,,,,i vote for early june or july,,,,, i was gonna go last year,,,but couldn't afford it the same month as bonneville,,,, i won't bring shoes this year if you have it earlier,,,, miss hootch
I lived here all my life and I can tell you, you NEVER know what the hell the weather is going to be on Mo! That being said...I really dont give a **** when the drags are..I`ll be there, I just figured there was less chance of rain in August. BTW, its Mizzou
im for after bonnie in aug.... just like last year. I think after being there in the heat I'll be more prepared for it next year... LOTS OF WATER and a AC UNIT for the pit tent tuck
