Looks like a blast!
Thank you!

 

I'd have gone if I'd known about it.
Looks like a great time!

 

It was a ball. Lots of cool and rare cars turned out and thrashed the track. I stepped wrong and threw my trick back out and left around 1pm. Next time, I'll pack food and drinks, wear a big hat bring a chair.

I had this on my radar for a couple months then life happend and I wasnt able to make it. Please tell us it will happen again next year? Thanks for all the great pics!

 

WOW!!. Great event. Wish I could attend. Just you keep it all traditional. Be patient. grow slow and healthy and dont prostitute yourself with hi-end billett crap cars. He he.

 

Looks like a Great Show!
Anyone know the details or have more pictures of the blue roadster?

 

Looks like a great turnout for a first time event. How many swap meet vendors were there?

I never saw this thread before tonight! I did see this race mentioned in another thread, the poster had his car accepted, but from what I read it looked kinda like a closed event, not open to the public. Wish I had seen this thread before or heard more about it. Next year I'll know better!

 

That looks like a great event. Hope it goes on next year. looking to go.

 

This was one of Jake's friends I forgot his name but I will get some info for ya, what all ya want o know?

 

I am building a similar '28 on '32 rails and was just generally interested in the car. Mostly hoping for more pictures.

Thanks,

Thanks again for putting it on, i had a great time.

 

Anyone know where we can see the video/pics from the drone?

 

I'm going to have to make this next year with my daughter, I gave her her name so her initials would be RPM for oblivious reasons. She really is not hip to her name as she is NOT YET a gear head. I'm going to give her some more time to get hip to it. Looks like a good time. Mitch.

 

Hey - anybody know if this car ran at the meet:



I believe it is a car that my friend Chris Daniels (Columbus, OH) built? He sold it to somebody out West a few years ago. I helped him design/build the engine (276 cubic inch, Potvin 3/8 cam, etc). It has/had my original Harman Collins dual coil distributor that I contributed to the project - was on my first race flathead - from 43 years ago! (Antique Nats - Irwindale, CA).

 

Can't answer your question but it sure is a tastefully done car

 

Yes - it was the first hotrod my friend built and he was quite a perfectionist in many small details. He didn't finish the body - wanted it like they were built in the 50's.

I was contacted by a guy in the 'Flyers' car club to see if I'd help a flathead newbie build an engine. I said . . . "maybe" . . . but only after I meet the guy and see whether or not he truly gives a crap and has the right attitude of hard work and hands-on learning. Glad that he was the right type - or I wouldn't have taken on the project. Under the cracking of my 'flathead whip', he did all the street porting and other detail work . . . the results turned out quite nice (for a street engine). Anyway, made my morning to see the car out and about . . . hopefully the guy threw some low Quickchange gears in it and made a few passes! Take care . . .

My buddy Bruce (Paintslinger / Hypersonic) was at the race - his first time out with his car (I was his flathead engine mentor ). I think I've convinced him he needs a "real ignition" for the next time . . . like a magneto! LOL

B&S

 

Great day, drove up in the 36.

 

The guy that owns the car lives up in the Auburn,Ca area great car don't know if he made any runs.

 

Thanks to all for making this happen. Thanks for the pics and extra comments.
