.The run is Thursday Friday and Saturday .Its usually a 300-400 car event but this year might be larger because of it being the 40 th .Any Rocky Mountain Hambers out there come on down.I will be hawking my wears all 3 days and have a HAMB sign displayed.I am going to be on the road for a few days afterwards so I will post pics late next week.
Hope to see some of you there .

 

I dont know if we are going yet, but if we do, i'll stop by and say hey.

 

I was there for the 25th anniversary run. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago!

 

If I wasn't prepping the car for Bonneville, i'd definately hit it up...

 

I'll be there with several other Utah guys.

I won "Most Popular Car" at the very first Yellowstone run in '70.

My wife and i were also there for the 25th. WOW how time fly's. We are going to be there this year even though we don't have a car ready to go. It is a great show and the drive into West Yellowstone is nice to. Would recommend this show to all.

 

What? Did you have honey in your tunk?

 

Good to see you there !

I hope they do a tribute to Joe & Lois Mayall. It was their baby in the early years.

 

NSRA rep Jim Kilmer did one last year . You go back a ways sir.

 

This is what we were driving at the 25th. The trailer wasn't flamed at that point, though...

 

WOW!!! 40 years? I remember when Joe Mayall wrote about the first one in the magazines. Time flies when your having fun. I agree there should be some kind of tribute to Joe and Lois, they were mainstays in street rodding in the early revival.

So did anyone go? Pics?

 

I would like to see pics also. I used to go all the time. Was at the 25th and 30th. and about the fourth plus many in between.

 

It was a good day for it.

 

Plus these.

 

And this sweet 55 Ranchwagon. I got to commiserate with the Owner?Builder about Ranchwagons and such.

 

Thanks for posting those, How many cars were there? I really love the relaxed atmosphere of that run

 

Not sure how many cars....the park in West was completely Full though.

 

Car count about 625 registered .Party crashers 50-75 more .
Thanks for the pics 10Bucks .

 

I've been wanting to hit this event for YEARS....one of these days, one of these days.

 

The 1973 Run was my first Rod Run. I went from MS to L.A. and my brother and I drove to Yellowstone. My first exposure-I was 16 years old and had never seen that many cars of that sort in one place before; or that many total in my life. The Mayalls pre-NSRA, Dick and Lois Magoo (because I can't spell their last name)in their Touring drove up plus a whole lot of Idaho folks I'd see lots of summers after that at the Boise and Hell's Canyon Runs. Recently found a set of pics from the Yellowstone run, but my old scanner and new computer aren't speaking.
