I'm a trophy whore: and other show pics!

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Yep, I entered my Schwinn with the Fat Lucky's specialty seat. Tied for 1st. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> I'll start with a few pics from work last Wednesday. We had a little show there. A lot of places do this all week long. </font>

[purple]

I wonder why I like this? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Unusual </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Next was Thursday night at Gene's drive in. I didn't make it to most shows because of work and school. But I squeezed in all I could. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Talk about squeezing in... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> A little bright work </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Some ratty old car, not even enough engine there to get out of it's own way. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif </font>

<font color="purple"> I went to the smaller of the 2 big shows here in Redding area this weekend. Hot Autorama at the fairgrounds in Anderson. This was at the auction. I have seen it for years off of highway 299 as I leave town twards Eureka. I always meant to stop and see it. </font>

Congrats on the prize, bud! Hey, I'm glad you got pics of that drag car, that sure drew a crowd. We musta missed each other @ Gene's by mere minutes...

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Tghis was for sale too. </font>

[Humboldt Cat]

Hey how much did that end up going for? Was really diggin' that roadster at day's end.

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Well I prefer this drag car. Ran in the early 60s in Lancaster. Still with the original owner/builder/driver. He came up and joined his buddies for a reunion. One of the guys moved up here years ago. I know him somewhat, but we seem to have a lot of mutual friends. He still races the salt flats, been doing it since the 50s. He is Jim Rotta, and currently runs a streamliner with a 80s turbo 4 banger. It's red number 7777, the salt shaker. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> I don't know the auction results. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Oooo, more purple </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> All these race cars in this section were part of the reunion guys. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> But not all the cars are their original stuff. This was built last year and is still being fine tuned. The guys may be getting old, but they are still in the running. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> On to other cars there. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> This belongs to a friend. He is an old timer and bought this 32 cabriolet in 1947! </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Back to Jim Rotta. Here is his new salt racer, with the nose of his liner jutting into the pic. This is 7 weeks of work so far. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Here are a couple of reconizable vehicles </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> front </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> smokin! </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> some truck </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> a little striping </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> And Chris Pitt with his trademark airbrushing </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Just in case someone had a little trouble </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> More of my friends. The guy on the left is the guy that owns the monster quadrunner.The one I assisted my friend build. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Something from the parking lot. </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Now for the pics from clean up </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> 2 </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> And the 3rd car, all on the same trailer. </font>

[ChuckleHead_Al]

That roadster looks hella familiar. Meet up with any HAMB'ers there?
Saturday at KAN this guy kept eyeing my HAMB shirt, and we kept running into each other (even later at the Anderson event). Turns out the guy's a lurker from Red Bluff- Rick Brown. Really nice guy, knows his trad. rides and stuff, we gotta get him on here.
