A few Road Rocket Rumble pics...

It was my first time going and I will definitely be going back next year. Thanks for the great show!!! I was driving down 94 Friday morning to meet up with Cadillac Bob when I noticed something in the road, but I noticed to late. It was some sort of driveshaft thingy. It hit some crossmember up front, then punctured my gas tank and popped my tire. I somehow managed to not loose control and pulled off quickly. I had just filled up with gas. It really hurt watching $80 worth of gas pour onto the ground. I am just glad no one got hurt and my car didn't burn down. We still made it to the show and had a blast! Here's a few pics for ya. I might try to put more up when I get more time.

Great pics of a great show! I'm happy you guys survived and are safe after hitting that driveshaft.

Judging by the response, looks like it was a quite a HazMat spill.

Glad your all safe...

Damn near 18 gallons of gas.

man that sucks !! glad you or no one else was hurt.

 

it sucks about your car but i could have been alot worse. it was nice meeting you guys and putting a face to the name.

 

SWEET!!

 

Really cool pics dude, the pink 53 coupe belongs to Ms. metal I think, thanks for sharing!

 

This dude may have hit the same peace in the road,It looks like his back bumper is ripped out.

 

One of the problems with running them so low. No clearence for debris on the road.

 

Yeah, sometimes I ask myself is it worth it? The answer is always a "hell yes it is, why would you ask yourself that?". It was great finally meeting you Rick. I will definitely see you guys at the Pile-up. It was cool meeting you to Steve. I met alot of other awesome people too. But I just might have been a bit too intoxicated to remember anyone else.

 

Those are great pictures. Glad you was ok and you got to enjoy yourself after the incident.

 

Is this the "driveshaft thingy"? That's a 61-67 Econoline driveshaft! It looks like it's from a 240 v an... so 65-67... and it can handle a SBF, or a 300 I6

 

Glad to here that the car wasnt hurt too bad

 

sounds like it might be of a little value to someone. its not gonna be enough to pay for the whole disaster but, it may yield you a little towards getting it back together....

 

Yeah, that was it. I had no idea what it was from. Thanks for the info. Anyone looking one? Only minor scratches... haha

 

there was one on ebay a week or so ago. I don't think it sold. I don't think they're that valuable. I got mine for I think $20 plus shipping.

 

Econoline? What are the chances of that? Are you sure it's not something more mundane?

 

could be, but it looks EXACTLY like the one in my econo. not many have driveshafts that short and skinny

 

Looks alot like a front shaft out of a 4x4 Jeep.
