Event Coverage Washington state Eastside VS Westside reliability run

We are planning a Washington state Eastside VS Westside reliability
run for 2010. It will be for non-overhead cars, hot rods, stockers
whatever as long as it doesn't have a overhead in it. With the
exception of vintage conversions. There will be a group starting on
each side of the state, Antique Auto Ranch in Spokane and Amocat
in Puyallup. Both groups will head 150 miles to Vantage Washington.
The side that gets the most cars to a predetermined place in Vantage
by noon wins. Hopefully this will be a anual event with a (AMBR style)
trophy and the winning sides name and clubs engraved on it.
Like I said we are in the planning phase and I would love some feedback.
I will keep you posted when we have better information on the times and
dates.
thanks John

 

You know I'm in

 

No overheads means no old Chevy or GMC sixes.

 

That would be correct.

 

Looks like we gots bigger mountains than you, both ways! Great idea.

 

I can't wait.This is a great idea John. The thing I like is the competition. Because it is on baby....WESTSIDE BITCH!! This is going to be a great event for years to come. We will talk soon.

I`d better get going on the Modified then.....us South Side guys might be at a disadvantage.....

 

Well, you have a much prettier drive

 

I subscribe to this thread and concept. Mountains smountains........

 

man.. I wish i had a flatty...

 

You have over a year...

 

I wish I had my Model A frame back.

 

Can us Canuckians get in on this? And maybe Oregonians too, we'll come from all sides!
Maybe open it up to pre 350 Chevys (327 and earlier) Generators only, no automatics!! Might get way more cars. I'm not saying this for me, just for more cool old traditional cars.

When ya thinking? Fall or Spring would be killer.

Yeah but you guys can coast the last 12 mi's into Vantage.

 

I'm in. East WA.vs West WA. with Flatheads. Sounds way better than "The Apple Cup".

 

Count my Plymouth in

 

I love the idea, count me in. I'll start researching Eastern Washington routes this week.

 

Cool concept. The mountains will make it interesting for the Westies, but really cool idea.

 

fuck you guys, I'll go anyways, I run a full hood, and one of us needs a real car with power to tow all your asses to saftey

 

No you don't....not really.

 

Remember Bob, this all started with your idea I told John about and John fine tuned it to this!

 

It'll be fall 2010. As far as SBC's...no way Jose! Flatheads of any brand only

 

So 50's Mopar's with flathead 6's are good to go? hmmmmm....
And T-5's behind flathead Fords are "legal" too???

This is gonna be cool......I need to hitch a ride.....

 

Well, looks like I have about ten months to get a flathead into something, and then a month or so of 'sea trials' -figure if I can make a 300mile run across the 'most mountainous state in the lower 48', I shouldn't have too much trouble with the great Hanford desert. Maybe I'll claim EAST and start from Clarkston...that ought to equal out the mountain penalty for the FOG-dodgers from the west side.

Anything Flathead. I don't think Tranny is relivant as long as it is flathead powered. It's not a race of speed, it's a race of the masses. You could putt at 30 miles an hour, and as long as your there before noon, you did good.

Stuff a Buick strait 8 flatty in your Impala and roll

 

Great Idea ! Is this open to flathead sixes also I would be game to take my 49 Ford Coupe . Are we talking just flathead eights ? Westside !!!!!!

 

ANY flathead is welcome from any year, brand or size. Drive a Sherman tank with a Cad flatty if you want!

 

T-5's are for pussy's!

 

Open seat in My 49 Coupe if you want hitch a ride.

 

Any early flathead.4, 6, 8, or early conversions will be allowed.
