Tank tops, trucker hats, and coozies filled the stands. Talent filled the field. This was a big event. Rodney "The Foot" Anderson was hooking up against Freddy "Downtown" Brown in the final elimination. The winner took the points and the Cranky Cup -... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
That's hilarious when the guy flips the crowd off. ha ha ha. How many total cars will be registered and how many have you got so far?
that was the best read I have had in a long time..... for a minute I thought I was in the driver's seat... which one?... who cares I take either car.
Sensational build up! I'd love to be there, but not this year. Any socal people going to la roadster show and such? Look for the primer 40 Ford truck, I'll have a cold one some where for you!
No swap meet booth this year . Going to the other side . Its marked on the calender. "AND THE BOWTIE ROLLS ON"
Would love to be there but can't make it..your story reminds of how I got hooked on cars in the first place ...I posted this on my FB page over a year ago: I remember back in the day, one Saturday my pappy took me to Woodstock (Ontario, Canada) to get one of those prison haircuts I always dreaded. I was about 11 years old then, he parked his old Pontiac on the West end of Dundas street facing east and we got out crossing where there were no lights or crosswalk ..(nice safety lesson Pops!) We were back from about 50 feet from the intersection when we both heard this wild revving and chirping looking over to see a powder blue 57 Chev (with a diamond back window and straight axle) lining up with black and white (new) 68 Camaro. Well, these 2 knuckleheads get on it as the light changed, to race to the next light, leaving about a hundred feet of scratch each. From where I was standing it was a real tight race and I'm pretty sure the 57 got him. I saw that 57 from time to time over the years, and I always wanted to thank him for getting me hooked on cars to this day..
Just a thought for all of you who are going, wish I was. With the tornado damage in the area, I am sure alot of the local hotels are booked up with local residence that truely need the rooms. Might want to start calling ahead to try to get one. Would not be suprised if some folks have to stay a little bit further out this year. One day I will make it, yall have fun .
Looking forward to it too. Might be pushing it to have the truck ready, spare time is at a premium this year.
A lot have had their reservations in the host hotel since the first day of registration. And it's been discussed about wether there would be an issue with them or not.
