Check out the invite artwork Justin Slingsby did for us!

 

We are SO there! Bringing the muscle wagon fresh off it's 580 RWHP dyno pull, and a huge batch of Hot Rod Chili (tm). My pal Scott's insane 4x4 will also make a return engagement, along with his signature side dish that shall remain nameless. We're pretty stoked about HRBBQ this year- we missed last year due to a racing commitment (is there any other legit excuse?) and we'll make up for it now.

You guys throw a hell of a cool party, and we're proud to be a part of it. Thanks for the invite pal.

 

Going to check with the Boss. Are small children welcome?

 

Bryan,

Yes! Small children are welcome. Wives too!

Hope you, the family, and possibly the 57 poncho can make it.


Chris

 

Yay, the Scotts are coming! Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

Come early and get a good spot in the yard. Hell, come early so we can go for a ride before everyone starts showing up!


Chris

 

We will be joining the festivities this year for the first time! Can't wait!

 

Porter Man, glad to hear this will be your first HRBBQ. You will not be disappointed!

Chris

It looks like I'm finally able to bring something (as well as a dish to pass)! Wooooohoooooo!

 

333, Diesel, ZZ, glad all of you guys can make it! Sounds like we're going to have another great turnout.

 

Thanks again, Chris, for the invite! My ride is a 1959 Ford F100. Shown here with Jake & Jenny Smith driving away after their nuptials last weekend!

 

Porter Man, you're welcome! One of the things I love about the HRBBQ is all of the new people I meet, and it sounds like we'll have a few more faces to be meeting this year.

Nice of you to lend Jake and Jenny your truck! I bet it sounds nice, right? Looking forward to seeing / hearing it.


Chris

 

Looking forward to it Chris, seeing your Pontiac and your Dads 49 Olds 88 the showing of Dave's 61 Ventura
Clark and Theresa will be there for the 1st time

 

We are excited to be included. The truck has a worn engine, but still sounds sweet! Jumbo Rumble!

 

Just 5 days to go! So far it looks like the weather is going to be great.

Remember to spread the word!


Chris

 

I've been wanting to make this one for a while.
Hoping to make it this year.
Bringing either the 40 Ford or 62 Impala.
Hoping to meet the masses.

 

heads up - Remember 494 in Bloomington/Richfield will close Friday at 10pm till Sunday for road work

know a good alt. route to the party please share

 

ZZ - Thanks for the heads up.

Tomorrow is the big day! I've got my Poncho ready to go. How about the rest of you?

 

So from where to where is 494 closed? We will be comming 494 past the airport to 35w from the east. Is it still opened from east of 35w?? Cause I don't know any other ways to go from St Paul area.

 

It is closed from cedar (77) to 35w. From the east you should be able to get off at the mall of america (24th ave exit) and follow that south. It will turn into old shakopee. Take Olda Shakoppe to Beard Ave and look to your north!

 

Thanks to all that came out! The weather was a bit sketchy in the morning, but turned out to be beautiful. We had a ton of new cars and faces this year. It sure was nice to meet all of you and I look forward to running into you all again soon.
