Event Coverage Old Crows & Grand Nats........

It's been too long since I've done this, and much like riding a bike, I have probably forgotten. My head's pounding like a tribal drum, my boots are sitting on in a heap on the floor and I still haven't unpacked my Midder Teddy.........but I had the best time, in a VERY long time; and I couldn't of experienced the happy happy that I did, if it hadn't of been for the generosity of everyone this weekend.

SO THANX GUYS!

***As a warning, I not only had a new camera that I didn't know how to use completely, but some of these pics are off my cell phone.........because if you are a personal friend, and were unable to come, I tormented you relentlessly and enjoyed every moment of it.***


I split Friday after school, Midder Teddy loaded and ready to rock and roll......headed to Old Crow in Burbank. I only live 140 miles North of Lucky and Bobby, but in that 140 miles, a poor ol country girl like myself gets lost in the concrete jungle they call home:



But thankfully, I have a finer GM vehicle and this ENTIRE team of Onstar folks who cater to my every need. I walked up into the parking lot at Old Crow, and saw Dave Martinez chatting Bad Bob up.....or maybe it was the other way round?

 

So far so good...........

Then I FINALLY wandered inside, after making sure NOT to interrupt Lucky and his dinner.







There was stuff EVERYWHERE! On the floors, on the walls, in the rafters......

















You can TOTALLY tell one camera from the next..........I'll learn I promise.

 

sounds like you had a blast......now whats the story on the stude p/u? i'm droolin ovah heah!

 

Brian Bass and George showed up. Bass was kind enough to pose for me:


And then it was off to the Broiler to see Cyclone Kev and EAT!


The next morning was the Anti-Doughnut breakfast. Met IrishMike and saw a few REALLY nice hotrods from Texas..........but was too wrapped up in a NON-HAMB friendly T/A with a 455 SD to care.

A quick stop by the shop to see my brother ScooterMcRad's A:




Then it was off to the GNRS! Whoot!!

 

It's Bobby Green's little Stude pickup. Clean as hell, ain't it?!

 

Damnit Rev, I forgot what I was doing!

I rode with my brother ScooterMcRad, his girl Holley, and Jefferey James.....who I had promised to get car sick and vomit on; it didn't happen and instead he had the opportunity to laugh his ass off at me when I was forced into a situation that I was NOT happy about.

The grounds were PACKED with cars and people; it was instantaneous sensory overload!























Whoooooooo my brain is gunna hurt....

 

Thanks Brandy! I've never seen a photo of the front of The Old Crow Speed Shop, looks like something out of Disneyworld.

 

Jefferey and I took off to meander on our own, and left Scooter and Holley to their own devices..................Jefferey is a SUPER nice guy, who puts up with my shit like it was NOTHING.

That deserves a gold star, hands down.

 

YES it does! I need to move in, they have EVERYTHING you could EVER imagine!!

 

Good thing I found that Anti-BLUR setting 3/4's of the day thru.

I have a perm. tremor in my hands..........which is why I will NEVER be any good at putting together models.






Billy Gibbons car, I couldn't get the nose end because of all the human ass ends.

 

Jefferey was a total slave driver..........my dogs were howlin like Ozzy Osborne on MTV. But I found that anti-blur setting about the same time I found those matching blue plug leads. SCORE! Hahaha, yah I'm remedial when it comes to gadgets.













And then I learned to use the flash.

 

And then I remembered my funky angles and how much you guys LOVE those. Hahaha!

 

I guess my junk did not meet your standards huh!!!! SNOB

 

Unbelievable shots Brandy. I'd say I'm sorry but, can you blame a guy for interrupting about that truck?! Its drop dead gorgeous. Well done with the new camera too...I'll be kaifing a few shots for my new background...lol

 

Racing history highly excites me............but THESE, these bad boys made me burn sacrificial Ford and Mopar emblems to the PONTIAC gods.







And some guy actually started a thread bitching about the 20 bux a person?! Pffft 20 dollars WELL spent for me right there!!

 

Ooooooooooh you are SO cruising for a beat down Mr. FIRST PLACE!!! I actually got stepped on trying to get close enough......

Rev you can have anything you want, as long as it doesn't look like I was riding in a teacup when I shot it.

 

Cool shots Brandy! Sorry you had to put up with Jeffery, you'll feel better soon as hes gone

-Shiny

 

He's stuck in Nashville? tonight. He's a GREAT guy!! I'm too short to get over those damn ropes, and every time I tried to stand on my toes and bend over to get a shot, I would almost fall on my face........so he would hold them back for me.

I stopped by and saw BobK and MaggieK tonight on my way home. WHAT a freaking blast that was! Talk about feisty as hell!

 

and i'm spent!!! incredible pictures. i am completely jealous i couldn't make it.

 

cool, thanks for taking the time to post some pics and the captions too.

 

BRAND GIRL...thank you so much for posting your great pic's. honestly girlfriend it's the only way i could enjoy the show. if it were held anywhere in TEXAS i would gladly pay $20.00. that stone,wood's,and cook willis is my computer curtain. again BRANDY thank you for thinking of us...POP.

Thanks Brandy.

Looks like you were at a different show compared to some of the other coverage I've seen.

I like your show!

Pete

P.S. $20 too much? Taking the old school thing a bit too literally...methinks

 

WOW! thanks for the great coverage Brandy!!

 

Thanks Brandy

Exactly what I was thinking after the first handful of pics.
