Event Coverage Symco shakedown car show pics

I would think he would be easy to spot... he has a unique look about him. Kinda dopey yet friendly. And that cheezy mustache.... stumbling around drunk.

Same thing goes for Dennis Gage. If he was there I think there would have been more of a fuss about it. I think they are pulling your leg.

 

I doubt he would be anywhere without a film crew, so it was probably just a lookalike... or Fiddy was drunk and hallucinating again. I met him at the Pileup the night before the show. He looks different without his moustache waxed up, but still recognizable. And yes, he was very nice.

 

Gerg said he parked him and Fiddy said he saw him walking towards the main gate. Both of those guys have seen him in person before. I think Travis said there was someone with him that had a camera. From when I saw him at the Pileup, he didn't have a big film crew, nor huge cameras. If there was a look a like I would think someone would have seen him as well. I was running around like crazy all weekend and still missed a lot of people that were there, it is very possible that he was there and we all missed him.

 

Smartass! . Good to see ur alive mikey! I'll drunk dial ya sometime soon!

 

Great pictures Guys thanks

Rob, we need someone on the top of the volunteer list to sober you up! All Sara could talk about on Sat was how drunk you and Kyle were on Friday night.

he's got skills man... MAD skills... only dude i EVER seen pass out standing UP

 

yah Rob has mad skills when it comes to drinking and to think i am just proud that for 3 days straight i didn't have a hangover

 

I can't stop talking about the shakedown. I tell everyone I know and no one knew about it. Man did they all miss an awesome show. I think it was the best show I was ever involved with. I had a blast. Barry that had the fed there called a bunch of times already and he said he had no idea about the hamb or how much fun hot rodding was. He said he wants a nostalgic racer as well. I can't wait to do it again. Cliffy, I will help all I can.
Viva La Shakedown!!!

 

Looked like a good time, definitely going next year

 

where else would find an other 40 oldsmobile than in some rockin little town in upper Wisconsin

 

How bout that vaseline 6 bro............

 

What does everyone think about Aug 13-14 for next year??? Anyone see any conflicts? Other than Sturgis.

 

Sounds OK to me!

Max

 

imma be there any way you slice it

and yes the Vasiline 6... thats actually an impressive paint job... not bad for shooting it in a parking lot

 

Hey Cliffy, I was just told there is something big brewing for next year. Care to talk?

We did a photo shoot of the Fiat Wednesday, John Gunnell came up and did it. He is hoping to sell a 6 page spread on the car. I sure hope so, that would be awwweeeesoooommmmme!!!!!!!!!

 

Did John Gunnell mention anything about a writeup for Old Skool Rodz on the Shakedown? I heard buzz he is going to do it.

Naw, I'll let ya sweat it out. Let's just say it will be a first at any car show.

 

i'm gonna get you drunk in joplin and make sure you tell me ALL about it

 

Just looking at my camera and found some pix...

This little mod caught my eye... (my dad's too from the look of it)


Someone caught me makin' time with the lovely and talented Meaghan Owens who played at the Unionville Saloon (man, she was great)...
That's her on the right... on the left is the lovely and talented me. She was kind enough to ask me up to play a few.
CLIFFY - You gotta make sure she gets asked back next year.


I think Cole is in this paddy wagon... practicing for his new life as a career criminal.




Sorry... that's all I got before it got drunk out.

Ya, awesome time....your old T-bucket was one of only 2 cars in our group that made it all the way there and back without any problems!

 

I just talked to him and he said it was done and submitted. Not sure if and when yet. He said the Fiat was in it, but not sure what they will use in the actual magazine.

 

if they dont, its their loss bro

 

I don't doubt it, I had only about 200 hours into the motor and working the bugs out of the tri-carbs. I miss that car, she was fun as hell....and fast!!! Great to see it out on the road!! I have a great vid of it doing a burnout coming into town.

 

you just had to rub that in didnt you? asshole!

 

I seriously forgot that you tried to bring a car! At least it broke a block away from your house.
