Any Hambers attending any car shows in Maine this year??

Hello,

Just curious if any HAMBERS are attending any car shows in Maine this Spring and Summer?

 

Wow, it's quiet in Maine. Maybe everyone is out shoveling snow.

Hebron pines is a great weekend car show in August. Rumford in the fall. Winterport drag strip in between.
I'm going to Nats East in York Pa. Other than that, I haven't made too many plans.
I'm up by Ellsworth.

 

The Limestone speed runs are a good take I have heard.

 

Any of the landspeed events are a car show by them selves. Lots of cool race cars and hot rods.

 

Car shows in Maine?? Is it possible that the snow will actually melt. Will the rain finally wash the salt from the roads? Will the day really come when we can roll down the windows or drop the top?

As Mainers prepare for another 18" snow storm, it might sound like a strange question but those of us who live here get it. Nothin like a frigid winter to make someone appreciate those warm summer afternoons at a car show.

Yea, I'll hit as many as I can. Summer in Maine is short so you gotta make the best of it. You guys know what I'm talkin about.

 

I recommend LTA meet in July at Loring AFB .... It is a car show by itself and no trailer queens ... street roadsters that go over 200 mph ...

 

this one got shipped off to maine not too long ago maybe it will pop up at an event

 

Ive been told I must attend winterport this summer!

 

The spring ice breaker in Acton is around the first of May!

 

LTA/Loring meet is on my priority list for this year.

Are their motels in the Loring area?

 

I have reservations at the Caribou Inn for the Loring event. Stayed there the first year. Nice place. Last year I stayed at the Budget Traveler in Presque Isle. It was less money, but was about ten miles further away that caribou.

Make reservations soon. They all fill up fast.

The racing is really good and walking thru the pits is a pretty cool car show, too.

 

I'm going to Hebron Pines actually, any notable/popular show in Maine I plan on attending.

 

This is in Maine? Whereabouts?

 

I sure do. It's tough enough as it is, building a kustom in your back yard, with no garage to do a nice paint job that you really want and you have to wait until it's low humidity...ROFL...you know that low humidity that is always kicking around in Maine........

 

Loring is way up north in Maine. Check out the LTA web site. I have a room at the Caribou Inn also. It is a must do.
I will be at Hebron if it doesn't interfer with Bonneville.
The Owls head transportation museum has some great shows, too.
There are so many shows and cruise ins, you could go to 2 or 3 every weekend.

 

Wow that's awesome! Well, hope to see you at Hebron if it all works out. Just happy this year I don't have to worry about getting into the event - I will be bringing the '63 Chevy instead of the original plan of bringing the Delta 88! It's old enough to get in no worries

 

Just got a flyer on the Sanford Dragstrip Reunion [no racing] 6-18-11 8 AM till you can't talk anymore. Sanford Airport Rt 109 Sanford.

On my possible list right now. Hope I can get caught up on the life stuff in the meantime so I can bump it up to probable.

Hi Slim, I'm still here.
The coupe should be on the road for the Nationals in York. Hope your feeling well. It looks like you hadgood weather for Hebron. We always have a great time there.

 

Rod and Custom Cruisers week end June 24 -26 2011
at Fryeburg Fairgrounds. Good run, best facilities I have seen in Maine, I've been to a lot of rod runs in Maine since the early 80's, Also hard to beat Down East Streetrods and Winterport Dragway/Gassaguys

 

Cool info. I need to try to get out to one or two of these. I've always dug hot rods. but had one of my own. Still looking for a project.

 

There is a Fall Foliage Run in central Maine October-?? Two day deal. Thats alwaz a pretty good event... If I can be of any help to anyone I'm usally around...just holla, but not to loud......
Hey Marcia.. I'm hang'n in there... you?

 

Yeah I'd say that counts. When in August does it take place? I'll try to make it down there (I'm predicting a '49 through '54 Chevy running within the next couple months, still looking) but will try to make it down there. A lot of kustom stuff and/or rod stuff?

 

I will be there at that show!! Hope to see you there. Dunno what I'll be rolling in yet but gonna find out in a couple months at most, whatever turns up! LOL

 

@Deano, I think the cruisers rod run at the fairgrounds is June 23rd to June 26th though, but you could be correct. Where did you find the info again?

 

the gassah guys meets at winterport dragway are always awesome ..... there is 5 events this year ..... hotels and motels around loring AFB ... if you have your pass port you can stay in Grand Falls , NB (canada) there is 4 or 5 of them over there . also in madawaska , me there are a few ... i used to live in Presque Isle, ME so i know the area . if you need some info let me know (bar's, food, strippers lol) if you are in Grand Falls get a beer called alpine . it great
