Event Coverage HAMB Drags Roll Call

Guessing we'll roll in either Thursday night, or Friday morning. The boys coming with me. Not to mention the whole-famn-damily from St. Louis.......

 

Cal, I can remember that, it's the age I'm having trouble with.

I'm going to Joplin, to the HAMB drags and I'm leaving Thursday morn, with or without you...

THIS is your reminder...

R-

 

Got the Bonney wired, now just have to pump enough ether into the carbs to get it started without starting a fire!

 

Is there some place we can camp there ??

 

you can ride with us, if you want...

 

i'll be there with a load of parts once more.


damn--no car again!

 

...can I come too?...purdy please?

 

when are you guys goin? We are leaving friday morning. me, dustin(lobrow), maybe my dad and maybe Johnny Sparkle

 

friday, but probably after 1200...

 

Hmmm....maybe...


ElP. I am reeeealy looking foreward to seeing your little rig up close and personal. I think you might suprise some folks this year...Are you going to post a teaser pic???

See ya, -Abone.

 

He's bucking for the quickest driven ride, and he's ready to back it up! See you all there.

 

look like I will not make it this year, the arthiritus in my back and legs is acting up in a big way and I do not think I could take the 700 mile trip there in my Sonoma.

Have a beer for me and I'll get some shop time on my 54F100 project.

Which "he"? Me he or ElP he?? I think the fastest car that drove there is the coveted title and it is gonna be pretty hotly contested this year.

Kerry, you clipped me by a tenth last year and I'm looking to get it back, but have you seen ElP's minor modification? He's the wild card, emphasis on the wild....

-Abone.

 

I know my time with that title is short. I'm HP challanged compared to you guys. Heck, it's one of the reasons I'm building a digger. ;-) Not sure if I told you but it was the header flanges you sent that tipped me into the abyss to build the digger. Thanks!!! :-D

 

KOA in joplin off I-35. Easy access off the freeway. They do have cabins, don't know if they're available yet though.

I can't wait!!

 

You bet - the whole gang from Fayetteville will be there. Me, I'm bringing a cooler.

 

Monsterflake I heard that Breeder was bad mouthing your van. Saying his van has you by a full van lenght. MATCH RACE!!!!!!!

 

Dam i just got back from spending a week in that area. Maybe next year.

 

yeah, its a real screamer brian! i spent 180 bones on her today gettin it ready...and now,,, the spark knock went from a knock to a bangin! fuckin thing! so back to takin the mom in laws car! im really startin to hate anything with a friggin motor!

 

what happened to that fury?

brian, when are you leaving?

 

well, the GOLDEN TURD, is the reason i bought the shaggin wagon! it needs some real attention, and i didnt have another car to drive! so i bought the van so i could fix the turd....so far, thats worked out well!

 

Teaser pic, uh yeah.



Lets just say I'm in economy mode right now.

 

I think Jerry meant I-44. I-35 goes from KC to Wichita to OKC.

 

I'll be bringin the coupe this year, I've back burnered the "lil miss vicki", for now



Next year I plan on having the Vicki done and de-bugged by MOKAN and I'll be towing it there in this:

 

I just follow the leaders, not look at numbers! LOL

WEll All Gassed up and ready !!!! The 53 is going to try and make it without any probs this year ...Not that pulling the trany out in the hotel parking lot and re building it wasn't fun ...BUT rather not do it again this year ! Is any one else staying in Springfield MO on Thursday night ? HAMB DRAGS OR BUST this week only the LOVER DUDE

I think I'm ready to go. Truck is tuned and fluids are changed. Stuff more or less sorted out just need to pack the EZ up and some tools in the morning and we are outta here!
