I'll be there again. I'm gonna try and get the fity driveable enough to roll up there. If not maybe SilentRick will have his old Ford up and running and I can hitch a ride in the trunk or sumthin'
Cool! I'm glad everyone's making it... but it sounds like there are alot of cars still under construction!
39 days and counting... These are good friends that are getting hitched and my g/f is part of the wedding party. That's ok. I'm getting a solo trip to Santa Monica the following weekend. It will be non-stop cars, cars cars. Except for the surfing...
Looks like all the Draggins are comin' this year.. ...I'll have my '48 there if I don't sell it first, some guy has been wavin' a buncha lettuce in front of me.. ...Bill,(DetroitDraggin), plans on bringin' his bad***s chopped shubox, he just picked up the flatmotor fresh from the machine shop yesterday, and is thrashin' to get it together and running... ...Rob,(Draggin6), will have either his '59 Ranchero, or his nailhead powered '49 Ford... ...Kirk,(DragginKirkus), will probably be bringing his sweet '51 coupe with the Airstream in tow...and, ...Joe will have his little Mercury Meteor, so, we'll have a whole Detroit crew there,...anyone need any Faygo?
i'm 99% sure i'll have my piece of **** there. joe, how important is it to pre-register? i'd hate to reserve a spot and find out at the last minute i'm not gonna be able to make it. and you draggins, will that roadster with the four duece flatty be making an appearance under it's own power? i'd love to hear it rumble in.
Mike- very nice work, is this the plaque that will end up on the T? Lemme know if you want me to run interference again this year. RB
man, i HAVE to get a T-shirt and sticker to go with the ones from last year. what if i drag my super secret roadster body behind the late model and register it???? i better get thrashin on that sum*****......
silent rick,...the roadster is probably staying home this year. It is up and running, and Bill is slowly getting the flathead tuned,...4-97's and the timing, is a little tricky. mike,...you should totally bring the Old...whoops!,..I mean, the "super secret roadster"(TM) project, everybody will dig it!
MrG***er, is your roadster with that SUPER HOT Flatty that was there last year?? What a *****en ride! can you post a picture of it please. Boys, bring your toys to the show, nothing better then a build up!!
I can't wait Ill be there filming for MAD FABRICATORS and filming Bob bleed and the K. dragers getting trashed...well Ill be getting trashed also... hope it don't effect my filming abilities Evel
you don't need to pre-register, but it will help us. Last year the show started at 12, and we had 10 cars there waiting at 9. We may fill up fast this year, so the earlier you get there, the better. there wasn't much of a parts swap last year (but one is welcome). All the miscellaneous vendors will be set up inside last year. Earlier registrations get guaranteed a spot, but if we fill up, they'll have to sit outside under a tent or something. That's cool that ALL the Draggins wil be there. how many days would i have to take off from work to get my 48 done? Just between us HAMBers, PBR will be there and we'll have tons of PBR shirts, patches, belt buckles, and beer to give away or raffle off.
I am going to try my best to be there with a car..... sounds like it will be a good time, I'll find out about the transportation and register soon..... I love beer and beer loves me.
Matt, should I invite Gloria to come for the weekend??? We could get one room and split it 5 or 6 ways? I'll talk to you in Frankenmuth about the details.

I plan on making the drive from rochester,not sure in what yet,either my 62 chev or 64 riv,if its not sold by then.Andy,you still interested in seeing some photos of my 66's I would like to setup with some magazines,and maybe small parts if thats cool.Looking forward to a good time.Patrick
I am going to thrash like a mad man on the '51 to see if I can get it done by then. With a little help from my buds it might be possible. If we can't get it roadworthy by then, we will have to bring my ricer If that happens I promise to park far away. TDC
[ QUOTE ] a 5 or 6 way? that sounds like it might be a fun weekend! [/ QUOTE ] hey, the more the merrier in my book!
Patrick, you can setup your mags again vendors are 25 this year. 5 bucks more to help pay for the tables. The 66 may have to wait but bring some pics with you. Hey Do you know a guy named marx barry at the aloha monkey in minnisota?
Hey, i have a wedding to go to that day but......o know! I think i am gonna throw up that day! Well darn, that means i cant go to the wedding. But wait, im miraculously feeling better! I can go to the pile up my dad says only if i can find a way there. Now my sis is a flight attendant but i dont think her flights go to Shy town. And i dont wanna drive cus im lazy(but if i have to i might). I was just wondering if anyone was travelin thru the St louis area and wouldnt care if i tagged along.??? I can chip in for gas money, or maybe even just follow you in my truck? Anybody wanna help a kid out? I might even need a place to crash for one night? Please help, i wanna go to the pile up.Thanks Nick
Nick - does your sis fly into WI, MI or MN? There are bunch of folks coming from up north. or just drive, ya weinie. As HRLC says, the only wedding you can't get out of is your own... and that's debateable. Mel, what happened to your car?! I wanted to see you pull up in that cool ol' barge of yours!
If his Dad won't let him drive, then he can't drive. At least I'm not the only one with the wedding blues... IF I am lucky, my Dad will be bringing my car up from Indy. ***uming we can get it roadworthy by then. Yeah, what's up Mel? Why no car?
I really wanted the dodge to make it, but it's a matter of having time (I hate college for this reason) to give her some new bearings.... yes, Miss Charlotte's still got a healthy ole rod knock! She'd probably make it just fine, but I truely can't afford a new motor if it does go (the parts cars got a p.o.s. for a motor so that's out), SOOOOOO look for a blue grand am with skateboarding stickers on it.
the Ionia Speed SHop truck? Cool! I want to see the new patina in person. Too bad, Mel. Oh well, i don't think my car's going to make it either!
