Event Coverage Beloit Autorama

Anyone else heading to the Beloit Autorama this weekend ???
Cheers,
Bob

 

You betcha!....a bunch of the Tin Butchers should be there in the hot rod section by the river....

 

I"ll be walking around there, look for a big fat guy with a gray beard in bibs wearing an Indiana Jones hat. May get some rain.

 

Me and a pal are gonna be in the swap area. Hopefuly the rain will pass quick.

 

We are headin up to hit the swap meet in the morning

 

Well, just came home from the Autorama.....
* Forgot my camera, so no pictures.....
* Started sprinkling just before I arrived, and never quit....going to full light/moderate rain several times.
* Didn't take a warmer sweat shirt for some reason...(Dumb me)
* My legs didn't want to work too well today, so didn't do much walking around.
* However, still a good time, compared to just about anything else non auto related.
Did see BobWop, and a few others I knew, so was not a bust, but the damn rain and cold sure makes it a bummer......Good thing it was such a nice day yesterday for the Cruise Night.
Think I will take a nice warm nap now..
Cheers..........
Oh, here are a few pictures I took last night at the Cruise.....

 

good to see HDONLYBOB and Rusty1 today. Just a bummer that it had to rain us out. My pals from Australia enjoyed the swap meet, but were disappointed the rain kept away the fancy show cars.

I was very impressed to see a beautiful Kaiser Darrin drive in...in the rain...and park...in the rain...for us to admire. No trailer queen here.

 

The burn out pit got nasty.....today there was an older red Caddy convertible in really nice shape that had it's right fender skirt laying on the ground next to it...seems this guy got a bit carried away in the burn out pit, blew a tire, and beat the hell (as in ruined) his fender skirt....Hmmmmm......

 

A few more...posting slowly, as I have to re size them to load...

 

Sorry the weather did not work out for you guys today. I assume it will be perfect next week for Jefferson swap meet.....watch for me, I'll be the guy in the Kansas Jayhawk hat and sweatshirt----

 

And lastly:

 

I didnt get a chance to check out the car show but had great time at the swap meet. Met the guys from Australia and talked just a bit. Was busy trying to keep things dry and keep our chili warm so Im sure I missed a chance to talk to some of you other fellas. We didnt let the rain run us down.

 

...had a good time even tho it rained, here's a few pics I got...
30 Chevy coupe, Chevy II 4 banger, 700r turbo...
