Local farmer hosted BBQ/Car Show was a great time. Lots of neat cars, a few fly overs, and plenty of good stories shared. Traveled to the BBQ with a group of 5 guys, 3 of which had their flathead powered track roadsters that led the way. Here are a few pictures at the farm. Enjoy
The Lindsay brothers host this event every fall. Jim and Bob are true hotroders,the red oxide coupe in one pic along with the yellow Desoto powered altered, belong to Jim. The two black 34 coupes are Bob's. They are Ford guys, Jim's coupe sports a flathead while Bob's 5w has a y-block under the hood. This is home to what I believe to be "worlds quickest and fastest y-block dragster". Bob's slingshot has run in the 7's at over 170mph with a 6-71 on top! Our new N.W. Vintage Dragster club showed up with cars fresh off Woodburn Dragstrip earlier in the day. We also had a visit from SRM tech editor Ron Ceridono, driving his primered A-bone pickup with a flathead and Atkinson quickchange. The real treat was the 29 roadster pickup with the Riley headed 'B' engine and rare Oregon built original Kenny Austin quickchange. The car was built by master craftsman and friend, the late Eric Sanders. Eric built it with a 21 stud flathead, hoping to get his Riley finished and installed someday, he simply ran out of time. His brother Rick now owns the car,Rick along with many of Eric's talented friends got the job done in grand fashion. Eric would be proud. It was a fun event, looking forward to next year.
Quality over quanity any day, what a spectacular group of rides. My favorite was the one I was looking at for the moment. What a super sweet bunch of machinery. Thank you for taking me to the farm without me leaving my farm! ~sololobo~
Hi, Might be a bit late, but I just found this Post; wanted to say it looks like an awesome bash; great rods...they probably match the hospitality on the day! Anyone have any other photo's of Jim's '34? For me, it is 'just right'; just the right chop; just the right stance.......just the right everythin'! Would love to see more photo's; anyone know how much he took out the roof with the chop? Regards
