[Humboldt Cat]

Man, I live for posts like these. We should do more of that stuff here in the States! (if we don't already)

[burndup]

Oh My God, that is BEYOND KICKASS!

Quick, lets OFF all the lawyers so we can have that much fun, too!

[Skate Fink]

Holy shit...

Just check out this young dude: no fenders, no air cleaners, no visibility and four WEBERS full of that shit.It is like cement. It is damn hard to wash off. And hey HE HAD SLICK and it was slippery as hell. Kartsa thanks foe pics !
C:\TEMP\Img_3253.JPG

[LOUDpipes]

Shit
Am I too drunk or what. Half of the words was missing...? I hate computers. Anyway the stuff was like cement. But the race was fun.

[Church]

Those are some of the coolest pics ever. Looks like something I would have done in high school. But without a cool car...while sporting a mullet.

Thanks for sharing.

[Jaypee]

I can tell you guys atleast i was fully covered with mud, driving that black modified.

[30roadster]

Really enjoyed those pic's! - thanks for posting!

Gotta make the pics smaller or that's what happens.

Those are great pics!!

I remember seeing an old video of a hill climb up Pike's Peak.

Forget top speed, just try to make it to the top!!!

Anyways...

Here's the video from Kartsa. (http://members.cox.net/roadrashtulsa/MVI_0205.AVI)

It's about 7.5 megs so you dial-uppers forget about it.

RASHY </font>

[Kartsa]

Thank you Curious Rash for putting the video up.
That is Vennu Björkmans -34.It's a old finnish race car and Vennu has raced it all over Europe in Historic Races.

[haring]

Wow! That is a serious course. Looks like a lot of fun, with the potential to get into real trouble. That takes some guts to drive your cars on that, boy!

And Kartsa, your Buick is AWESOME.

[FoMoCo_MoFo]

I'm going next year! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Evilfordcoupe™]

So am I!!!!

-Jason

[Jake H.]

I swear, they grow 'em some big balls accross the pond. We need these kinds of DRIVING events here in the states! Damn, Finlanders kick our scrawny American asses at rockin'(go listen to the Flaming Sideburns) and now roddin'. By the way, that's a gorgeous chop on your Buick, Kartsa.

[Mojo]

absolutely kickass. Amazing buick, all the cars look outstanding too.

[JohnnyB327]

cant do that kinda shit in america cuz people are afraid for other peoples well being....i dont care about mine as much as a real hot rods..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[HotRod60F100]

What a nice CLEAAN roadster eh ???

[SlowLearner]

Kartsa, thanks for that. My darling wife is of Finnish descent. And from Northern Ontario (where a bunch settled....something about the birch trees and loooong winters!)

You guys are amazing. Build'em and DRIVE them!!

For those who don't know, Finns are probably the greatest drivers on the planet. Something about learning to drive fast on ice and snow (ZERO traction = handling a skittish ride). That quarry's just a little warmer. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

OH YEAH, love your Buick. -Keith

Oh yeah, I forgot their sense of humour.

See it if you get a chance. Funny as hell!!

[wingnutz]

""WOW"""...!!!

[attitudor]

I just can´t resist myself to add some more nice pictures!

[attitudor]

Kartsa on his way.

[attitudor]

Look at that grin on the face of Jaypee! Hardcore!

[attitudor]

So low! The rear rocker panel would make sparks if there wasn`t that wet!

[JimC]

In my younger days, I worked in a stone quarry here in the states, Carthage Marble Co.
I can tell you it is not easy to drive vehicles made for hauling and driving on quarry roads.
To drive a hot rod like these dudes do, takes big ones.

[Petejoe]

COOL !
Wall to wall Hamb Calendere pictures! Thanks for sharing!

[attitudor]

Heh, what you see is what you get. A few far-distance shots.

[attitudor]

My friend Asmo beats his ´58 Buick... Look at those speeding marks of the tires when that heavy car is sliding!

[Dat Dirty Rat]

Thats some hardcore shit right there!!
Awesome pics....Thanks for making my day!

[nailhead60]

Thanks for the pictures !! That chicken run looks like its a blast !!

[Tony Bones]

This post makes me happy.

[just steve]

Those are THE coolest hot rod pics I've ever seen. Period.

And we do have something like that in the states -- called Rallycross. Like an autocross on dirt. Some of them are held in gravel pits, or on plowed fields. Lotsa fun. But never heard of hot rods partaking in one.

later,
Steve.

[29EHV8]

This is what hot roddin is all about!
You guys fuckin rock!!!
All the gold chainers should check out the video.See what hot roddin is supposed to be.
We gotta set up a race like that somewhere in north america.
Or can you Finn guys setup a tour for us,you know where we can fly there and uhh 'rent'your rides for a blast threw the quarry http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Awesome pics boys.Unreal cars too guys.
Weld done all of you.
To second the motion I think we have found most of the pics for the HAMB calender.

OK, you asked. This is Sumppi´s 37-Studebaker from Turku, Finland. Photographed in outdoor exhibition BEFORE the Hill Climb Race (its so clean...) This fifties-style rod used to be poorly restored automobile, but they turned it low, cool rod, equipped with Chevy six-cylinder engine.

BTW: Check that ol´lady´s look...

I kinda like this pic: The intermediate time, one of the organizers is walking to take a photo, two firemen smile approvingly but truly they think: these guys are totally crazy... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Jari is coming back down with his ´39. Rain has ceased for a while...

That bright blue Nash-36 with 454 cid BB back there won the hole race (two time values closest to each other).

[attitudor]

This Rat Tudor was the first A-Ford here in Finland registered and officially accepted with hopped up Small-Block Chevy (but not the last one)!

[LOUDpipes]

You guys want them? We´ve got them. One from the starting line...perfect grip with slicks. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[LOUDpipes]

Who needs startmotor when you´ve got friends...Banger powered.

[Aushotrods]
