Event Coverage **KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular 2009 - SALINA, Ks - PHOTOS!**

Had a good weekend with great friends a bunch of nice cars!

Uncle John picked me up on Friday afternoon around 3:00 and we made the four hour drive down to Salina, straight to the drags.
When we arrived, we found out you had to register at the host hotel in order to participate in the drags. (they really should have someone at the drags doing registration, also) We decided to just hang out at the drags for a while, grab some dinner, then hang out at the host hotel parking lot.

First a funny town name in Nebraska



A few photos from the drags---

Extremely nice Anglia







This reminded many of us of Little Man's coupe, and it sounded awesome!

Jason and Lowell's Galaxie, from Omaha




Gathering before dinner on Sat. night. My dad even took a break from work and drove over from Hastings, NE, for the day!! It was great to have him there.




Rob Lee's cool Roadster, recently put on the road and driven down from Omaha









Hot-rod Roadster's wagon and Uncle John's Roadster










That pretty much wraps up the photos. We made it back to Omaha around 1:00, in time for the S.O.B. (South Omaha Boys) Bonneville kickoff party. Much of the Omaha/Lincoln crew made it to that, also. Denise joined us for the fun weekend, also. I hope she enjoyed herself and look forward to seeing her photos.

Had a great weekend with everyone -- Thanks alot, guys!

Great pics. Looks like a lot of well done cars. A must see for next year.

 

hey man - it was great to seeya again - sorry I was not able to talk to ya more at the drags......there was a lot going on that night huh? How about that truck that had the 505 in it - that was the crowd pleaser!

I had a really good time even though I was not feeling 100% - think it was exhaustion.......I am not used to driving ALL night from Syracuse NY to Iowa - then ALL night from Iowa to Salina.......I am getting too old for that!!!

Even the high energy drinks dont seem to help!
