Event Coverage Hunnert car heads-up

Rain rain go away had a good at the drags even though it rained pretty good turn out considering the weather flag starting is the way to race and the flag man looked pretty good starting the mini bike races thanks once again to the chrome czars for putting on another good show now if they could learn how to control the weather im sure the wheels are already turning on that.

 

Here are some of the drag cars

 

cold & rain, every time it looked like it was goin to clear up, more rain. still had a great time, Ill post a few pics when I get them loaded, I have a good wheels up pic of the green 56. Ill try to get them up tomorrow.

 

way cool, I see my pal bobwops 2 cars and also my pal Jim Koch's Henry J. Love all those cars.

 

good times. damn cold, though. Track condition was scarey and only allowed me one pass with the Willys. Old Chevy was right on as always.

most of the "fast" cars went back home without making a pass out of safety concern.

nice to run into old friends like Eric, Pete, Tom and Paul and make new friends like Tony.

 

some of my crappy pics

 

a few more

 

a couple more

 

i am done

 

the weather was shitty but i had a great time, i ran my coupe thru tech right at the end and made 2 passes... went 16.31 @ 78mph... kind of a mutt my non hambfriendly car goes 11's, but it was still a blast....

 

I missed out, Im out of the country right now. I live in Oswego by the way - are there any west Chicago groups or events coming up this summer?

 

First off, I want to thank the kevin, and the rest of the czars for making this event happen. In spite of the foul weather, we(dad and I) had a good time. I managed to lay down some 13.0 passes with the valiant. The bad part is thats more than half a second of its usual pace. I just couldnt get down the track without problems(mechanical, not track issues).
It is kind of funny how last year it was like 100 dagrees, and I couldnt stop bitching about the heat. I guess this is a case of be careful what you wish for.

 

Wanted to go real bad but i knew the weather was going to blow. Living 2 and a 1/2 hours away i just did not want to chance it. So i worked on my coupe. Knuck from indiana.

 

I really think this show will be more popular in the very near future!

 

You are right on with that it takes a cuple of shows to relly get things going the drag strip did a good job keeping things moving hope people see the pics and they make it a must do show.

 

This one is owned by the prez of our car club, The Wisconsin Street Rod Association. He's got a cool old DeSoto too

 

I'm still waiting on pics of that green 56 that kept yanking the front wheels on launch.

 

Had a blast!....and managed to keep the t-bucket in one piece after 10+ passes!

 

nice picture. Lots of cool rides

 

Cold as hell but had a great time. A little warmer weather and I'm sure there would have be a lot more cars. Thanks again to the Chrome Czars for a great show!

 

I think this one was on ebay a while back. Man I like that car........... Later, Bill

 

Thanks for the pics. Damn that cotton Candy truck is cool!!!

 

Great Pics....Wish we could have went!!..hope for next year!

We toughed out the weather until 3:00 but had to leave. I will certainly be back next year. It made me remember just how much I enjoy drag racing, they way it was. Another fun event Czars.<o></o>

 

it was good to see you guys again. It was a fun weekend in wisconsin.

 

Oh you Czars... I know I thanked a few individually, but to All of the club- Thanks.

What a frickin great time! I'll be the first one to say Skrew the weather it didn't bother me or my hair Ok so obviously it mighta bummed me out if I wanted a pass (or 30 like some of you), but it was really fun as a gawker and a talker. I don't get too many opportunities to see a barage of cool cars and bikes or see friends from both sides of the WI/IL boarder in one place. Above all of that I've never been to a Big Car Drag race- just Lucky Bobs. I have a feeling it has something to do with the right kind of eye candy or would it be pinky extended "vintage"! Oh whatever> I'll be back for sure.

Peace, Love, and Motorcycle Grease,

awesome pics

 

Goodtime had by all that stuck it out for the rain delays I'm sure if the weather would have been better the place would of been pack! Can't wait until next year!

 

czars did it again....pulled off a excellent show!

Hugh thanks go to you guys that put the time and effort into making this what it was. Already looking forward to next year

 

I had a great time, it was good to have a car there this year.
I didn't hot lap like usual but got in several passes and even won most of them.
The water slide decal is pretty cool, not sure where I'm going to put it.

Thanks again Czars.
