yee haw I can't wait...

 

Yep, Good times for sure, hope the pre-reg makes it more "period". The parking lot of others is always a sight to see.

 

I want to go damn it!!! Looks like it's boning up to be the best year yet!

 

seeing this post made my bung pucker up in excitement!

Time is closing in, money is tight and the to-do list is getting shorter. WHEEE!

 

I can't wait!!

I'll start a thread, but also post this here -------

If anyone wants/needs a push vehicle, I'll volunteer my F100.
It's registered to race and I'll make a couple passes.
Otherwise, it'll be available for push/tow duties.
(will be installing a 2x12 "bumper" before the Drags)

Sweet... I can not wait!

 

Countin' off the days and minutes. The '63 Chevy II with the altered wheelbase is ready to rumble!

 

How much is spectator admission?

 

Dayum, don't ya'll know Drag Racing is DANGEROUS?!!?

 

Will there be some sort of traffic control at the entrance to the track? Any suggestions on best way to the track? What time will be spectators be allowed to enter the track?

 

Its gonna be a good time. Just got my car runnin a few days ago. It's been a PITA but hopefully I can get er sorted and lay down some good numbers. One of the issues to address before Mokan.........

 

I was going to be slack and leave the slicks at home but I just can't do it. I can't wait to see what I can break this year! And I can't wait to see all you hooligans face to face again!

Wow Kevin, Ouch! That's why they say to have the snubber hit right under the spring eye..

 

It's hard to imagine this is the 8th year for the HAMB Drags. Big Olds and I will be there with our racing helmet and a tank full of good gas.

I guess you didn't read Ryan whole blog huh??
Track opens to spectators at 11:30. Roll in at that time and you'll be all set.

 

Looks like its shaping up to be a great event. I've been thinking about joining the fun for the last few years and although it won't be this year I've acquired a great candidate for giving it a go. Will keep it under wraps for now but for the first time in over 20 years I'm excited about being out on a drag strip. Just remember Ak Millers saying "old age and treachery will overcome youth and enthusiasm every time".

If I remember correctly it was $10 last year.

 

Sorry to say your wife's pink streetrod would not be allowed to race.

 

In the spirit of the event I lettered up the 55.......... what a great time it will be!!!

 

Lookin forward to seeing everybody and making a few passes in the 40.

Ryan.

I know how stressful this or any event can be

If you need any help at all I'm available. Anything you and the rest of the family/staff might need feel free to ask. I will help at the track or hotels. Email me at [email protected]

 

any info on places to stay if its your first time?

 

Holiday Inn is the host hotel. Try to get in there or one of the other places within walking distance.

 

Thought I'd throw a link up to the HAMB drags forum where alot fo questions can be answered.

They haven't placed any restrictions on choc chip cookies this year,
have they????

Hope to see ya then.

 

Sounds great - cannot be there but am looking forward to seeing the pics you guys will post...

 

WOW!!! Your good. Of course I should of remembered that I couldn't fool you. In that case I've got a back up plan. How about I bring something that has to give you and Big Olds about a 10 second head start just to make the finish line interesting? Then....................after we run I'll let you make a pass in a REAL car.
Of course this will be all in fun as I wouldn't do ANYTHING to jeopardize getting those awesome hugs that I'm accustomed to. If nothing else I'm looking forward to exchanging barbs for the next year. As they say........news at eleven.

can someone post the mokan GPS coordinates please?

 

Been going since 2004, Ryan, you and the guys always bust ass to put on a great event. Anyone who can't understand hickups now and then doesn't need to come.

 

I ain't scared....especially since you haven't driven anything except that pink streetrod in years. Kinda one of those I'll believe it when I see it things. Besides Jake and I are the only GMB's that know our way outta Michigan.
