    What a week, drove down to California in my 1951 chevy to attend the Goodguys event in Pleasanton (pictures to follow). As with last year the NW BilletProof Drags falls on the Sunday of Goodguys which means either I miss it or drive all Saturday night after the show to attend. Well for a second year I did the drive. (felt like shit from very little of sleep but it was worth it).

    A benefit was running into a old High School hotrod buddy I had not seen in 25 yrs, Glad to see he still was into cars as he now owns a bitchin black 55 chevy.

    Have to thank Alan for a great show as well as those at the small but neat Riverdale Dragway in Toutle Wa.


    My club (the Misfits) had one car run, a dual quad hemi powered Model A roadster so it was fun as a group. the rest of our cars were just spectators... maybe next year I will add some power and see if I can Destroy a set of Hurst tires... on the drag strip


    Here is a link to my pictures

    Really well, no broken parts, and ran 110.67 in the 8th. Not bad for 2 mild 350's :D

    The turquoise '57 is really cool. Like your club's drag car too.
