Here is an avi clip of my local track and the Gasser Reunion. I need this when it gets cold outside! If I could only get the smell of Alky and nitro to come out of the speakers.... http://www.gassermadness.com/Thompson03/oslapas/ErkCarlson-DonBenedict-Thompson.avi
As cool as that looks, I've seen the carnage left behind from doing something like that. It's never very pretty.
I'm glad you posted that picture, I was just thinking about it today and was going to ask is someone had that picture. I want that Henry or one like it. I think I would almost trade my Merc for it. I want a GASSER Damn it! Man, in High School we cruised around in an old Gasser '41 Willy's. Anyone now of a Kipp Race? [ QUOTE ] I think I`ve seen this car on here before but DAMN...it`s worth seeing again!! sweeeet!! [/ QUOTE ]
There are more pics of that Henry in the link that Curly posted. Yeah Rocky, I know whatcha mean, ol Trailer-Ed had a few Henry`s some years back and it was all I could do to keep from spending the grocery money on one! SO many projects.....so LITTLE money!

Dude if you're going "to show 'em a good time" you're on your own! On the other hand...if they want to hit the show it is a Friday, Saturday, Sunday thing and just so happens we have a local cruise at one place on Friday and another on Saturday someplace else. I say we host a BBQ and then do a cruise! I'm telling you the Northcoast HAMBoree would be a hit....some of these guys are going to be here for the races anyways!
