Dammit. As I sit home myself right now in quarantine from exposure, and awaiting my test results, I can honestly say Im 100% sick of covid 19

 

Sad to hear it. I always look forward to that event. Thanks for letting us know.

 

crap

 

Well said Ted! All in all, miss this one much as it’s one of the early events that gets the season rolling

Better days ahead!

 

Damn, already? It's outdoors, for heavens sake

 

My thoughts were more like this...

 

Beyond the Early Ford V8 club's control.

 

Looking forward to better times

 

So a little best of the past years-

 

I will say that need to do a better job on security

 

2017

 

well thats a bummer, i was kind of hopeful for that one!

Part of Mark Shepard's engine adapter collection. I wish the meet was still going on, as I would drive about 7 hours from my home in Pennsylvania to see old and new friends. Seeing and buying parts is fine, but what is really important is seeing your friends and acquaintances.

 

We snuck a small swap meet in two weeks ago - this month will be a test with two set to go - one Decatur is a big one. Thanks for the pics !

 

if i don't see some rusty parts on a tarp on the ground soon I'm gonna go crazy !!!!!!!!!

 

Seriously they need to beef up security.

 

Is there any better sight then dawn on early sheet metal and speed equipment?

 

Any chance of this being put on now for 2021 with the present covid vaccinations being performed and state opening things up ?

 

Any hope for this spring? Has anyone heard?

 

Have not heard anything .

 

Hoping it happens this year!

 

Their FaceBook page says it's on for April 24, however my clubs first race of the season is the night before so I am out for Fitchburg this year.

Home base to Fonda speedway is an hour one way. I would have to get home unload the racecar load, up for the swapmeet in the wee small hours and drive fours hours one way to Fitchburg.

 

Sounds like a fun filled weekend Robert, see you at Fitchburg then!!! Hahahaha

 

If I thought I could do it without falling asleep on the MassPike I would, those all night Banzai runs are long in the past for me.

I am in bed at 7:00 P.M. these days! Up for work at 4:00 A.M.

 

Well, last time I went I missed you, but got to talk to your dad. Looks like I'll miss you again this year!

 

The show/flea market is combined this year with the pilot's association....."Wings and Wheels", per an FAA "new" requirement. The entry fee has increased also for spectators. Slightly different lay-out, but otherwise the same as before.

 

Just seeing this, cool!


btw, I own this now:
