Showdown website is updated with 2015 info...finally! Also here is the race car per-registration page for Latimore (spring show)which is also added to website. You do NOT have to pre-register for the Drags in the fall! http://jalopyshowdown.com/http___jal…/May_Race_Car_Reg..html
Yes, anyone that wants to run. We are going to do race cars & roadsters like we did last year. The only way we will do the one car at a time like years past is if the track is too wet for race cars.
Woo Hoo! I've been like a kid standing at the mailbox. My vendor package arrived today. HAMBers stop in swap space # 8 and see me. I live for this event. Thanks Larry!
I will get the race car stickers & info in the mail early this coming week. The group you will go on the track with will be on the sticker. Remember, you will need a helmet, long sleeves & pants, a SEATBELT, and if you dont wear some kind of eye protection you are just a dumbass! Drivers meeting will be around noon at the starter stand. As always, thanks for supporting the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing!!
As ever, an outstanding event. It's always over too soon. Great to be totally immersed in the experience. Music all weekend and hot rods everywhere the eye could see. Met some HAMBers at my vendor space, I'm the guy with the red vintage Suzuki bike & bare metal '57 fender. Sold the bike and a ton of other stuff. Actually bought less than I sold for a change.Thanks to all who bought my parts! This is a pivotal time in my build, the 57 has been waiting for a cash infusion. The next big step is the glass. Favorite car at the event? For me, it was the satin maroon(?) '37 Ford coupe. Just could not stop going back to look at it.
I was there for the first time, easily the best car event I've ever been to. Had so much fun both watching the races and checking out the dozens of amazing cars there. I brought my camera. Still going through shots, but here are a few to begin with.

Great time! A little rain on the way home? No big deal! We will be there again next year! Thanks to Larry and his gang for another good show !
Couple more. This Chevy was one of my favorite cars there. Real hard color to photograph correctly though.
