Great pictures, Thanks for posting.

 

thanks for posting, looks like some great cars there...

 

thanks, looks like a cool event, lookin forward to more.

 

Cool - Thanks

 

Had to work. Wish I could have been there.

 

We had a blast. Stuck my Dad's traditional '27 Roadster in the Show and Shine and made a couple of fun passes. For grins, before we left this morning we swapped out the wheels and tires from the Austin build! Turned the little rod into a mod! LOL.

Great show, good turn out for an inaugural event. It was a lot of fun and what a beautiful day in the Ozarks!

 

I busted it up there straight as I got off work myself, was a really great inaugural event. Here's some more pics.



396 Chevy n the "Coupe" , Henry J Blown V8

 

I loved your dads "T", nice to see him having a great time! The cragars drew me in...... But I LOVE the door panels!

 

Thanks. He is still smiling! I am worried I'm not going to get my slicks back! LOL!

 

More awesome afternoon pics ......






The proverbial monster "FE" side oiler I presume? My next door neighbors got her dads side oiler that won 71 gator nats in her garage, this looked a lot like it.
Whew....... A fun afternoon. Hope u guys enjoy'd the pics! Flux

 

It was a great day. I helped Hooley run the orange "Okie Twister" Henry J. We are to take it and David's blue 32 Chevy coupe to the Bryon Meltdown next month. We have had a lots of fun running the Henry J the last few years.

So we were in the same spots a lot during the day and I had no idea that there were any others from the HAMB close by. Thanks for taking the pictures, I forgot to take a camera and Hooley never got his out of the truck.

Liking the Rumbling Rambler

 

It was one of those cool oddities , I liked it too that roofline is weird! Flux

 

Lot's of fun.

 

Great pics! Looks like a really good time.

 

Ok , it's here again ! After I get off work earlier Saturday afternoon , I'm heading across the Ark /Mo border for the 2 hour drive arriving at OIR for the ....... 2016 Gonna be some cool weather that'll make for some good racing. This is the first of two like events this season. I'll try to take lots of pics & post the next day, I'll be hobbling around as a happy spectator with a messed up right foot with my two 12 year old racing buddies. Hope some Hambs will be this year again! Good luck to all the Hambs Racing & showing too. I'm ready to see Duced Up's cool ride! Flux.

 

Hooley and I will be there with the "Okie Twister" Henry J again this year. Stop by and say hello.

10-4 ! Good luck too! Flux

 

It was s Great afternoon for vintage drag racing. Turn out a little light today but definitely worth the trip. Seen some local pals of mine & enjoyed meeting WZ JUNK & Took some good pics of the "Okie Twister". One of my good friends was on a roll in his 56 sedan & wound up Racing Hooley in the final round of the day & I gotta say Hooley's bunch are an A1 bunch of guys as my pal's 56 battery was deader than a hammer just as it was time to leave for the burnout box. They were super nice & gave him time to get it fixed, good sportsmanship indeed, but experience reigned supreme as the Okie Twister crew beat him out by I believe .0035 ! Man I love good close racing & I love this event, here comes the pics! Flux
My pal Logan In the 56 vs Hooley in the "Okie Twister" Henry J , final run for gas coupes today

 

Another friend in his decades old real deal 55 gasser "left lane" two great guys. My son on left explaining something to his pal . My 12 year old racing buddies are pretty sharp on this stuff & I think today planted their roots a little deeper in the hobby. It starts by sitting the pupils in their first gasser, Lol..... I really would like to thank John again for inviting them to have a in car seat of the "pants perspective"
This is great! Getting them into it at a young age! I know two little fellas who talked about how awesome it was all the way home tonight.

 

I really appreciated this nice fella also asking the boys if they'd like to slide behind the wheel .....
I'm thinking a couple decades from now , if they continue to love the hobby I'll be able to ride with them as they drive me to cool car events in my golden years.... Ha ha , flux

 

A true time capsule & another local car guy with great taste in enjoying drag racing history.


Slant 6 ! I told the boys about the"leaning tower of power"

My friends 56 that runnered up got a donor battery from his grand pa's beautiful 57 , which sports a 327 mill & filly syncronized 3 speed overdrive.

 

A great day all around. It was fun to meet you and the boys. Thanks for posting the pictures.

John

 

Thanks to you too !

 

Man, why was this not going on while I lived there?? Oh woe is me.

I really like the inline engines. Some beautiful machines. I should know, but have not recognized the engine in the # 97 dragster.

I will add my THANKS, Flux.

Ben

 

396 in the 55 & the willys appeared to be steel bodied.






A correction from last year , a SBC & not a 396, a rather impressive power plant when it's in action!
