CHRR - Got my Racer Credentials.. ROLL CALL?

I just got a confirmation card from the NHRA to run my 55 Chevy in the Exhibition Class at the '07 CHRR in Bakersfield in October.

We are really excited. The kids will be on fall break so the whole family is making the trip.
We have only been on the west coast for about 2 years and this is my first time going.

What can we expect??
Who else is going??

 

Bitchin', I'll look forward to seeing you run there. I'll be out there with with my orange '57 Chevy "Thumper".

This is one of my favorite events. Famous race cars, hot rod & drag racing hereos, racing pretty much all day, killer swap meet, killer vendor area, killer pits, cacklefest, and a lot of bitchin' cars in the grove. You'll dig it.

Also, a great party at Sqweak Bell's shop on Saturday night.

 

Right on ShakeyPuddin,

Looking forward to seeing the 55 in person. The CHRR is a blast, one of if not my favorite event of the year. Lots of old race cars and drivers are there as well. Do a search for photos from last years CHRR.

I wouldn't miss it!
Unreal weekend!

 

I just got my 3 day spectator and camping credentials this week. I'll be there with the wife and kids also. Definitely the high lite meet of the year in my books.

I'll be there, with a visiting Brit, and a cast of almost 50 more Brits....supporting Honky Tonkin, the '57 Gasser being shipped from the UK for the event

 

I'll be there, the CHRR rules.

 

I love that car. I'm looking forward to seeing that machine in person.

 

I'll be there and I WILL look yo u up as I LOVE that car,glad to hear you made it in have a great trip!!!

 

Can somebody please take a few picks 9 any info also )of that 65 Fairlane Straight Axle car. Light blue...Thanks

 

I will be there as crew chief on Mark Vaught's NE 1 dragster. Look for the Phase 111 Racing / Vaught Electric trailer. We are shaking the car down tomorrow night for this weekend's NPCA race at Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Group:
Both Scorpion 1 and Scorpion V will be on hand and running in the Cackle Fest. Look for the Texas flags and come in to the Scorpion hospitality tent to say helo.

Got my credentials last week! Never miss the CHRR, been to every one. See you guys there!

 

I'll be there. There's a lot going on. A lot of people, not a lot of Richard Cabeza attitudes. Tons of drag racing action. Open pits, "keep your head on a swivel", there are people on bikes, scooters, minibikes, golf carts, etc. If you're close enough, and have never been ... GOOOOO!!!!

Thanks,

PS- Chili Phil should be chiming in sooner or later.

PPS- I wanna see those Chebbies paired up!

 

Ya lucky beggar Dave , missed seeing Honky Tonkin' at the HRD's last week as she was on her way Stateside . Take plenty of pic's eh ?

 

I hear its staying here as well? As Lee has a 'new project' to take home?

I'm sure I'll get a picture or two....

 

Looks like the 57 has me covered by a couple tenths but it should be a good side by side race depending on who can get the holeshot.

 

I got 5 bucks (you do the pounds conversion ) on Shakey Puddin!

Thanks,
Kurt

PS- Someone that can take a good video of them paired up, should.

 

We will be there. Raced in the A/FX last year. Leavin the car home this year.
All We have to do is Drink Beer. We will look Ya up and Say Hi Shakey.
Also A32 and the BRITS. SEE YA THERE !!!!!!! FEDER

 

plannin on making the journey again this year., it'll make 4 in a row for me.

 

I am having a bbq at my house on that friday night for fellow HAMBers. You guys are invited. We will be shooting pool ,dirnkin beers, and eating.

 

Wasn't going to come over this year but work has been good to me, so to hell with it i'm coming!

Here's another pic of Honky Tonkin

Kev.

 

Yeah , reckon I can stretch to that , you're on . $5 says Honky Tonkin ' kicks ass

 

The Vipers will be at our usual spot. Always worth a visit. If all goes to plan, we will be hosting a certain Fuel Altered coupe. ;-)

 

Are you gonna be there? Whose car is it, and who's driving? That second post with the picture is impressive; my $5 is .

Thanks,
Kurt

 

We'll be in the Jr. Fuel pits. Stop by and say hello. That or throw shit at my 56 as I tow the dragster back from the shut off.

Fo shizzle. Got my photo credentials approved last week. One of my favorite races/events of the year. Mmmmmmmmmm.................Chili.

 

Wish I could be there mate , not this year unfortunately .
The car is owned and driven by Lee Pike and Jerry Denning , and it looks even better in the flesh ! Don't panic , those times were run in the UK , and everyone knows cars go faster over here , what with our climate and worse track grip ...

What say the loser of the bet chucks the $5 in the HAMBandy build fund ?

 

Bummer that you can't be there. Good call on donating.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

I'm going. You can expect one of the better events of the year. Great old track with tons of history/character. Like a trip back in time. Great manufactures/vendor midway, swap meet, car show, drag racing, etc. Be sure to walk the pits, as lots of old race cars don't actually run, but can be seen. One of the top events for sure
