Event Coverage The Hot Rod Hundred- Springfield

Today was the Springfield edition of the Hot Rod Hundred reliability run and I'd say it was a success. The amount of cars far exceeded everyone's expectations with guys coming all the way from Iowa and Big Ken coming all the way from Dallas in his 33 pickup to win the Long Haul award. It was such a fun day and I can't wait until next year, or perhaps the next one in OKC or St. Louis.

 

Here's some more

 

What state is this in? Every state has a Springfield.

Yea it's the Springfield, MO, event

 

How was the chili? BenD's a pretty good cook.....

 

I'd love to have one of these here in central Ohio. I've lost all interest in almost any show...it's all about the drive.

 

I had two bowls. I approve of it

 

Man it was a fantastic event. So much fun

 

It was a Great Day for events. We had a HUGE turnout for the first Cruise-in of the season in Bolivar,Mo (20 mi.N of Springfield) tonight.

 

Great pics.

 

Awesome! North Texas and OKC is up Next June 14.

 

So cool. Driving the old beasts is definitely the point for me.


Just seth.

 

major success. congrats to all involved.

 

Everything about this deal was perfect. And BenD can cook some chili. What a great day.
Later,
Dick

 

Great fun. Kool drive home

 

Thanks for the kind words. The words "overwhelming success" now make sense to me. While I was the point guy, I could not have pulled this thing off without the support of family and friends.

We had a great group of participants, even reaching a bit out of the HAMB friendly cars, but it all was good. Thanks for all the patience as we were improvising on how to make the moving event work across the route.

Out event wound up clocking in at 149 miles, depending on whose odometer you look at, after I missed a turn. Not reprinting shirts to say "Hot Rod Hunnert an' a Half".

Thanks again, to all this involved. Without you, I'd have been on another Saturday solo ride through the country.

BTW, Duncan, let's talk. I'd consider a Conway to Clarksville route, or something like that, if you and Dr Dave can help me, for maybe next spring.

The FUN is in the RUN!!!

 

Congrats on a successful first event. Hope mine goes as well.

 

All i can say is we had a blast, was able to take my son and his girlfriend and we got to talk alot along the way. Was great cause i dont always get to spend alot of time with my son like that and on top of it got to know his girlfriend better. Great family event and plus meet and fellowship with some new friends. Am excited to do this again plus a big shout out to Bret and the Crossmembers CC for puttin this on, thank you so much.

 

Great pics Cory, thanks!!

Man what a great day!! Big thanks to BenD, Steve and crew for the grub and setting up the ending location. Perfect ending to a great day.

 

If you see this car on a trailer call the 911 it's stolen.. that would be a great bumper sticker. Mine doesn't even have a rear bumper and I'd buy one

 

Hey bud, good hangin' with ya..........see you again, soon.

 

Yea man no problem. The day was a blast. Hopefully I'll be able to make the trip up to the St Louis event with one of our cars when we get them done

 

Awesome day, almost perfect in all ways honestly. Thanks Brett and everyone that was involved. Chili was great Ben and crew!

Thanks for a great run. I think that is the longest trip my lawn chairs have taken without being out of the trunk. We got so far behind from stopping at antique & fabric stores I was afraid I would meet everyone coming back.

 

Here are some lame pics I took...

Arriving 7 AM at American Legion Post 639, Springfield, MO


A few pics before taking off...










BigKen made the trip up from DFW!!

 

Cool photos man

 

Cool photos Clay.

I got there at 8 to find out they were out of breakfast already. But luckily Bret's a pretty cool guy and bought me an Everything in the Galley omelet. My stomach hates me

 

Lined up to start.....








A couple of cool trucks




This one is all original..... NICE!!




One of my favorites of the day, a real deal Hot Rod with 3 pedals and a Lasalle trans.... way cool.
