Event Coverage The Corvette Adventure

Thanks for the thread!

 

Thanks for taking us along for the trip! Gary

 

This should be an inspiration for anyone to realize that these cars are meant to be driven, death week sounds like a blast, I saw it when Tom announced it, also proves you don’t need a fast car to participate in drag week.

 

Thanks for the brilliant ride.... can I get out now, my bum cheek has gone numb..

Chris

 

Probably have a bad case of sunburn too, after driving 2X across the southern US!

 

I'm looking rather red....

 

Fun ride thanks.

 

Jim, I know it's a little out of your time frame but you should look into the Montana 500. They drive 500 miles in about 3 days through Montana in stock Model T's, all Henry parts. It's a timed run. Then they tear down the winner to inspect for stock parts. I have talked to several that have run, sounds like a hoot.

 

Nice! I'll be following along with my kid in the motorhome.

 

I was planning to stop by and say Hi, I guess I wont have to!

 

Looking forward to your next adventure, that all of us can enjoy vicariously !
Be safe, be fast, and continue to be cool !
You might want to get a haircut, if your in Visalia as well.

 

LOL. I like that!
My only problem with his trip is he bested me. Total Miles.
Way to go, Jim and son.

I always wanted to get a flat top with fenders, But could never commit to it LOL.

 

Around these parts, that was known as a "Chicago Boxcar".

 

I’m sporting a crew cut these days and have been for years. But when I was elementary school that’s how my dad always cut it and I was called “Onion Head” until they let me grow it out. That was the early 70’s…….

 

Jim if you need a co pilot I’d be up for it I’ve driven an afx 64 dodge dart with a 440 4-speed all over the lower states so I totally understand what is going on I actually think your car would be way more comfy than mine was lol thanks for taking us along for the trip I was just thinkin last week how I wish we were coming back to Tucson for the duct tape drags maybe next year

 

Over 18 years, I've run all those roads ( big and small - paved or not ) all corners of our land, plus.
I ENJOYED the whole lot of it.
but nuthin' like finding your butt at Home Sweet Home
Thank You Jim for Making that Vette famous

 

Jim, you ever think of going on the Hot Rod power tour- similar but no racing...

 

I went on the first leg of the second Power Tour (1996), then the whole thing the next year, and again in 2004. But it's kind of boring....

this is from 1997, I took my 55 with a blown 454. That trip was 5400 miles.

 

They should rename it the Power Snore!

 

I have been on a couple of them they were pretty fun for my wife and kids. But I never done the long haul because of work and family stuff. Maybe one day…….

 

Was a 97 "longhauler", Portland to L.A. to Mt. Clemens and back home in ten days.
Saw you guys in the 55 at various stops, one of my fondest memories heading east was trying to find a big piece of cardboard in the middle of the rockies (at night) to put in front of the radiator on my pals pickup to build some engine heat.
Remember seeing Chip all bundled up driving Boyds red 57/59 "no top"...........burrrr!
Oh yeah, Baskerville in his flip flops too!

 

yeah, that was a wild trip!

 

I get everybody to sign my headliner, funny thing is, when we're all dead and gone, somebody is gonna look at those signatures and think they found something historic

 

No, just Hokey.

 

@Lloyd's paint & glass @Johnny Gee
" Never underestimate, the power of HOKEY "
When applied at the right time, and at the right place, its not only artistic, but a validation of spontaneous liberation!

 

I may be hokey, but I do it to pretend I've got friends when I get in my car

 

go, Jim, go!

 

This has to be the most awesome, fun ride along........build a car from boxes, straight to a long drive with a drag race at the end......and then back again.

I wanna do it after I shed my stupid work skin.......but I'll only drive at night........and alone .

Thanks for being an inspiration for everyone to keep building and driving.....


I'll look over my fence for you if you're coming up the 5 after Barona to Bako......just like O.J
