Event Coverage My photos of the Stray Kat 500 show in Oklahoma 2012

our good friend Rick (ricksherl)from OK who owns a wonderful 57 Chevy but decided to build his first hot rod coupe ever at age 60 after sitting in the parking lot at Joplin at the Hamb drags a couple years ago. He did a good job and this was the first drive for this car ever---
Like a true hot rodder---Rick taught himself how to weld and how to paint while building this car. It is not done yet but he has 1 year and 3 months in it so far and told me how his 87 year old father with bad vision came and helped him work on it some afternoons.

 

Hi Pov, thanks for the report. Looks like its starting to heat up over there. Looks like a neato show. I'm diggin that David Bradley tractor thingo....... H.R.D.

 

I love Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg cars like most anyone does and loved this Auburn roadster---

 

yes Geoff, we have the heat on for you when you get here---

 

My favorite truck of the event---

 

and the Harness brothers of Wichita were there with their ultra cool rides...

 

Thanks PovertyFlats for the car pix. It is also great to see pix of HAMB members. Now I can place a face with the UserID.

 

Thanks for all the pics. My son, a friend, and I had a great day there. Drove my '54 Tudor and took home some pinstripes. Myers and his guys doing a great job all day, yeoman's work to be sure.

 

this was my neighbor next to me and i liked it alot but would have preferred taller skinnier tires.......I bet it goes fast with dual overhead cam Quad 4 engine by Oldsmobile...

 

And it was big fun for me to see my old friend from back home Jon Humbyrd and his daughter Shelby from OK. I had not seen him since about 1983 or so and found him recntly thanks to the magic of Facebook...

 

This was an 8 hour round trip for us that day and that don't include the few hours spent at the show itself. I chose not to stay overnight to save money on motels. And on the long drive home across the beautiful pastures of Kansas Flint Hills Region I stopped to photograph one of my favorite gas stations in Howard, KS.

 

That's all for now....other guys will be posting much better car photos than me soon. Stay tuned for their threads here...
Thanks for riding along with me...

 

Paul, it seemed like we've known each other for years. Had a great time visiting with you, Mrs. Povertyflats, Jon and Shelby. Just a great day.

The couple that got married are Steve and Brandi Cobb. It was all arranged ahead of time, but they didn't want their friends to know until it was time for the ceremony.

The Stray Kat is one I hate to miss, as you said, the people being the main thing, and the cars a close second!

I will try to make a chess pie for you soon and send it your way!

 

Duncan, I sure like your style. Calm, relaxed, and willing to eat a few chili dogs before conducting a wedding ceremony.....that's my kinda guy

 

It was a great turnout!! Thanks for the pies Mrs. PF!!!!!!

Next year I'm going to take both my car and truck and spend the night in Bartlesville. One day isn't enough time.

 

Thanks for the pictures PF! I gotta put this show on my bucketlist! Lots of friends I would have like to have seen you have posted pics of. Looks like a great time was had by all. I bet Mrs. PFs pocket pies were a HUGE success down there! I wish I could just have Scotty "Beam me up" so I could go to all the shows around the country, as there are hundreds of great ones anymore!

 

Wish I would've met ya PV, cause I would've traded you a pie or two for some homemade peanut butter cookies Chic made! Those pies look pretty tasty!! Cool pics
