Great photos! Wish I was there! Planning on going to Speed Week this year.

 

HAHA, You know me I'm a hoodlum. I was probly just trying to keep it running. we were having trouble getting her started so I didnt want it to die.

 

suuuuuuuuuure lance.

 

Not a HAMB truck, but what is the engine in this thing?

 

This guy could be your twin Nate?

 

Detroit V-6 diesel. Owned By Jim Dunn.

 

Thanks to all for the great Pictures, and Mctim64, that y-block sounds great!!

 

Dude, that IS me.

 

You guys behave, or I'll post the photo of Lance doing his Bill Clinton impression..."boxers or briefs?".....

 

Great coverage. I will have to head up there sometime this year.

 

If we weren't both in violation of some kind of copyright law (I won't say anything if you don't...) I might think I gave these guys the idea, however, my spidey senses tell me it's just a matter of great minds thinking alike. (we better watch ourselves...)
Of course, the one above actually works in the real world so they win...

 

Great pics went to El Mirage in 08 ended up buying a car that I saw there. It was a 24 Dodge that Larry Mitchell owned, he is such a great Guy. If anybody saw him there tell him Hi for me

 

right on, bad bob,catch you next time....by the way,i realy dug your truck.

 

Wow thanks I thought a Y block would split at those revs, whats your red line?, H.R.D.

 

Great talking with you again Doug. Thanx for the help with the armbands. They were eating them like Halloween candy. Wayno

 

It, like most Ys, runs out of breath at 7000 but I've hit 7500 before. It would rev higher and still stay together but the heads just wont let it.

 

I just got back home yesterday. My son and I were there on Saturday. It was a good father and son day. It was great to finally make it to El Mirage. I got to meet some of you(Mctim64, Elmo Rodge, Kaui, The BMR Group). Looking forward to B'ville again in August. Hope to see some of you there. Thanks for the great photo coverage. Sam

 

Sam, good meeting you too. See you in August. Wayno

 

Thanks! subscribed.

 

Found this on YouTube, thought it would fit here.

Thought I should also say it was good meeting all the guys out there, I wish I could have talked more but when you are running a car it gets hard. I just barely had a chance to say "Hi" to Buddy and Wayno we need to have a beer or something at Bonneville after racing is shut down for the day.

Always a good time. Cheers!

 

Tim, and all the other HAMB guys that are going to Bonneville:

We need to exchange cell #'s in July.
Also we need to get one pit as our "homeplate' of sorts to make for a place where we can go use as a centralized meeting place.
Too many times I have gone to events and not known that the guy right next to me is someone who I communicate with on the HAMB.
At Bonneville in 2010, I was parked sitting in my car and took a photo of this fella parked to my left, not having a clue that it was "Bob K" until after I had posted the photos several days later. I would have loved to have chatted with him,but I didn't know it was him....

 

I was looking at getting a Jockey Journal group together, we could combine it with the HAMB. Feel free to stop by Tims 416 pit at anytime and say hi, Tim will be working my job is to bullsh............I mean run PR!

 

WOW! Thank's for taking the time to post all the great photos. Can't wait untill Aug. for Bonneville speed week.

 

cool, thanks for the ride.

 

Great idea Doug! Trent (Tman) introduced me to Bob last year, among others. Trent seems to know everyone out there that's why he's my BS errr.... PR man.

 

Outstanding fotos.
