Jalopy Showdown!!Roll call-countdown

Lincoln is a fairly old track too. I think they started racing there in the early 50's. 1/4 mile bull ring. Makes for some good racing. Same guys that run the Grove on Fridays run Lincoln on Saturdays.

 

Is there someplace I can park my rig without having to walk a mile? Dodge 1-ton with a 48' trailer.
I'd love to finally get to meet some of you.

 

I just realized that I'm going to be right up the road on Saturday (I knew I was going to be in PA this weekend, just didn't realize I was going to be so damn close). I'm doing a road trip with my father... first time in 15 years.

If I can possibly swing it, I'll make an appearance. If you see a couple of Canucks show up in a silver Intermeccanica Roadster (spare the lecture, it's not mine), say hello to Big A.

What time does this thing go 'til?

 

I'll be at the Showdown Saturday and hitting Lincoln Saturday night. They have 410 sprints 358 sprints and thundercars. Fast high banked track with a lot of action.

 

Big A our deal goes until 4:30, then the Old Timers will run the antique sprints and stockers until around 7:30 or so. Stevie, should be able to get your rig in. When you turn off of Rt.15 to get to the show, go right at the first stop and enter the camping area at the museum entrance. So far it looks like a slight chance of thunderstorms...though it dont matter! Cant rain anymore than last year and the grounds are already in better shape. I bet the track is muddy as hell after the rain we've had the past couple of days though! Gonna be fun damn it

 

Well working to get the wagon back together tonight, few more hours and then load it and pack some cloths.

See ya this weekend.. lets pray for the sun gods to shine on our parade... Not really wanting to use the new wipers I put in if I do not have to....

........RAIN-X!!! Have a safe trip.........

 

We laugh at the rain

 

........Billitproof hell! These guys are WATERPROOF!!!!

 

This*****s and blows!
No way I can get out of here on Friday.
The best I can hope for is to get up REAL early Saturday and drive down. And that's looking doubtful.
Great show, great sprint car racing, and I'll probably miss it.

 

Moondisc, Friday's work will still be there next week...we only do this once a year. Dont miss it! Hows that for a soft sell?

Yeah, what he said!!

 

I wish our business worked that way.
If we're not here, and our customer needs something in a hurry, they'll call a competitor.
And the last couple weeks we've gotten some huge orders in the afternoon.
What*****s is I know if I don't go the phone won't ring, and no one will fax or email an order either.
But as tight as things are we can't take that chance.

 

got it all back together and packed.. Leaving in a few minutes.. See ya up there.. Keep an eye out for a lost wagon roaming the streets...

It took 5 years to get 2 of our biggest customers. They wanted to be sure we were for real before they would buy from us.
They got tired of poor service and********* from the big guys.
With so many shops going to "just in time", they don't want their tooling there before the job. And they sure don't want it after the job starts!
