Rain, wind and hail didn't dampen the Showdown.

The Jalopy Showdown Invitational went on in spite of Mother natures fury!

 

That 32 Vicky is badass!!! Any more pictures? The chop looks perfect!

 

Yes! I wonder if it is the old cut in half Vicky body I had years ago? Bob

 

Plenty of rain, hail and lightening, but most everyone rode it out and still had a good time after the clouds broke.

 

Don't guess this helps much, but I don't have a pic of it without mud!

 

Nice to see you guys made the best of it.

 

Well, that must've knocked the edge off the heat! Phew!

 

It was great show despite the storms rain and hail that we got . The sun got hot as hell for a while then it got black and nasty really fast . The thunderstorm just popped up and just kept growing ! We got very heavy rain , just a little wind and hail ! Once the heavy rain stopped and was just light rain , a car starts up in the back and out comes Clark ready to Play in the MUD ! Yea he did ! He took laps around the track in the mud having a great time . He took a few people for a ride before he finally stopped .
The original races were canceled due to the wet track but Larry said , go ahead and let them go one at a time out on the track for some fun !

Thanks Larry and the rest of the gang for putting on another great show !

It did for about an hour then I think it got hotter and muggier

 

Despite the wet, it was fun, with lots of great folks.
Nice seeing you, Woosh. Your Olds is lookin' good.

 

Hardcore......



I dug it.

 

a great time was had by all !!!!!!! The quick blast of bad weather sure sounded bad. listen to the hail on the tin roof

 

Eat your heart out California guys..you don't know what your missin.' Add a douse of humidity like the jungles of Brazil & you'll get a clue. Still, it was a great event ...everyone was as happy as a clam. Check out "homemadehardtop"s thread for more pics.

 

Did any race cars go out and play?
If so we need PICS

 

It was fun. Storm had many worried for a while. I have some pics and vids I will try
to post later.
