How's that for service.
Add to the comments in the album if you or your car are in them so everyone will know.

Great service, thanks for posting those fantastic pics. Looks like the hobby is real healthy judging by the quality and diverse array of cars.

Thanks again.

N-49 is starting out the week qualifying CWORD and the other new driver on the short course. As they broke before the young guns could run last year, they're letting them get their runs in first. Helova a nice thing for them to do eh'... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW: CWORD had a box of plaques with him. I snagged one. Buy one and support the team. I'll put a pic of mine up on this post tomorrow. I'm fried...

Tardel/McKinzie set a record already 166.470. Check it out on the SCTA/BNI site.

The record was set in the yellow roadster, NOT this one.

[HOTRODPRIMER]

Thanks for the photos,,,,,,,,,kinda like being there but without the sunburn! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif HRP

[ruralrod]

is the weather screwing things up? i'm a few hours away and it's been pouring off and on. wondering if they're still running. i can't get up there till thursday, is it worth going that late in the game? any info and advice would be great. thanx rural

[bigron]

i am going to have to make it there one of these days.

[Deuce Rails]

Thanks for the pictures.

Boy, I wish I were there...

[av8]

Very nice range of quality pics. Thanks much for sharing. Makes not being there this year a bit easier to take.

Mike

[beatnik]

Very cool pic's Joe, Thanks. I see lots of friends made it out to the salt.

[Smokin Joe]

OK, Here's the North of 49 plaque picture I promised. I stuck it on a HAMB shirt so you'd have a size refference.

Damned CWORD forgot to give me the "paint by the numbers" instruction sheet. I need to get myself a couple shots and some one shot and git 'er done! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Smokin Joe]

Rural, they had a nasty front go thru about 6pm Sunday evening that shut things down. 60% chance of precip today and down to 30% by tomorrow. It's a good gamble they'll run on thursday unless they really got clobbered last night. I had to leave yesterday afternoon. My niece had a little girl. 8 lbs. doing fine.

[FORDY 6]

Great pic's...thanks. I had planned to go, but my daughter and her husband had a baby, so we are in Phoenix checking out the new grand daughter this year.

[Buick59]

I left 2 hours ago.............they were runnin when I left.

Mike

[Spottty]

Cool, didnt see those before they left. Better grab one when they get back. (Ted, the co driver co owner, is my boss at my part time gig)

Very nice pics. I spent about a 1/2 hour of work time looking at them, good things the other boss is away too! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[A32Flathead]

Great pictures, thank you very much for sharing them...I WILL make it one year http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

In response to The37Kid "Looks like the new trend will be stock Model A 4 Bangers."

Did you see that a flathead four banger (V4F/GMR) ran 113mph on Sunday!!! now that's cookin!!!!

[Ham]

Got back Sunday morning and I'm still picking salt out of everything! Had a great time and met BobK, Sodbuster and so many more people. So many amazing flatheads and so clean looking you could eat off them. Sorry, no pix yet getting them developed. Post more if you got 'em!

I can relate to that. My neice had an 8 lb. baby girl Saturday. That's why I left early on Sunday afternoon when I found out. 24 hours old and already has a car ass! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Smokin Joe]

Spotty, Mikey said the box of plaques showed up 2 hours before they left for the salt. Mikey saved me a belt buckle and a 3X Xtra-fat T shirt too. Guess I'm an honorary Kannukadian now! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Smokin Joe]

Sorry if you had a bit of trouble looking at the album today. It had almost 11,000 hits so it was pretty busy at times. Try it again later.

[Chopped50Ford]

Okay, what is this car...Desoto? BAD ASS!!!

Thats Tony Farnettis 36 Ford from Idaho.. Real sweet ride..

[stegert]

I spotted DRD57's car in several of the pictures so we can expect a whole bunch more pictures of stuff at Bonneville from Don in the future!

[atch]

any of you guys who are still at the salt:

did sonny rossi show up this year? how's he doing? don't know his number, but he'll be running a white 28/29 ford roadster with a cosworth vega engine.

i'm sure some of you remember sonny & dixie from their street rod days; t modified pulling a trailer &/or '37 chevy 2-dr sedan.

[av8]

I believe this is Sonny's roadster.

[atch]

mike,

i do believe you're correct. my poor memory remembered it as a 28/29.

heard how he's doing?

are they still running that thing with only sonny & dixie as crew?

looks like they're stretched it and added a belly pan since last year.

[Rusty]

Oh WEEEEEE, I can't wait to take the Coupe. Thanks for the pics

[AnimalAin]

Sonny and Dixie were there in the red and white modified roadster. Was running in the mid 130s, but the bad news was that the 7700 car was going about a buck fifty in the same class...... Sonny seemed to be taking it in stride, though.
