Part 1! Wow! First off I have to say, I had a great time this weekend at the 2011 H.A.M.B. Drags! So many of my great friends, so many cool cars, and some fun on the dragstrip, what more could a fella ask for? I struck out from the middle of Kansas around 7 on Friday evening heading southeast towards Joplin, a stop or two along the way and by 12:30 I was relaxing in my hotel room. Saturday Morning I went out and trolled the parking lot, my first peek out of the window I see this beauty. Heading out in the parking lot I a see is our family's friend Robert's 56 Chevy, that's a good way to start the day. Some last minute wrenching going on in the hotel parking lot. Lots of killer rides out in the parking lots This is perhaps the oddest pairing that I've ever seen side by side and I dig it! Hot rodding is good family fun, that rumble seat is full! Some creative thinking provided my dad & friends with some shade and the height of the bleachers. Uncle Povertyflats and Bobwop had some space where Pov was selling some of his swap meet items and had some motorized bikes on display. Ben Dragdaddy was on hand with his always killer art! The track was prepped and ready for action! That's part 1, I'll be back when I get off of work to show some more, click on any of the shots to see the full gallery and videos! Travis
Great Pics,,, Thanks I will send my mom a link to this thread so she can see photos of her grandsons riding in the rumbleseat with some girls. That will give her some ammo to raz the boys about next time we see her. Thanks again for sharing!
Part 2! We begin Part 2 with a look around at the track, this was one of the purdiest lines of cars ever assembled... One of Povertyflats' motorized bikes.... I may have to travel all the way acrossed town (4 blocks or so) and take this bad boy for a ride! Povertyflats' tent is always a central spot for socializing. Gotta love Bill Moore's kool kustom Well lookie what we have here... A lil video for ya (click on it to go to the video player, sorry I haven't figured out how to embed the video directly yet) Part 3 coming soon...
Part 3! I told them I would blur the background...I will but it's funnier to post it this way first hahaha Sorry Uncle Paul! I'll try to post parts 4-5 later tonight and I'll get into the videos more finally. See you at a show, Travis
Part 4! Part 4! I still haven't figured out how to embed these as video clips so for now click the photo and you will be taken to my site to see the video, then just hit back to come back here. Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 It's always going to be a good time with the McGregor Boys show up The same could be said about the South Omaha Turds Mark & Dianne Sax brought out the Skull Orchard Express for a few passes Eric and his HellWagon, I did not get to watch the pass where he spun 360 in the middle of the track at about the 1000 ft mark but I bet it was a hell of a ride. Was this the pass that claimed the life of one of the Galaxie's axles? Damn good thinking to bring along spares! Here's Nate getting his timeslip That's it for part 4, off to work now I'll do another post at noon. As always if you dig a shot, please consider hitting the buy button on my site, every download or print helps me get to the next event to cover more for everyone. I have 0 free weekends between now and Thanksgiving, it's going to be a busy/expensive Fall but I do love it! See you at a show! Travis
Part 5! Love the Little Honker Not much commentary this post, figured there was plenty of cool in the pics...
Part 6! Okay now on to some of the on track action! We'll start with some videos, click on the photo to go to the video, again I'm not quite sure how to embed these videos on here yet so for now you'll have to go directly to them. I guess I'll have to upload them to youtube as well as my site in the future. Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 Video 4 Punishing some tires! Back to some photos Sideways is fun Just looks ready for business! Thats it for 6, good night all, see ya in the morning! Travis
