We're gonna take the '40 stake truck. Will probably take 96 across from Halltown to Carthage. Haven't decided if we will take the northern or I44 through Joplin, but then will jump on 166 and south to Dewey. I'll be waiting on Dad to get to my house from StL, so I am guessing we'll head out around noonish.

Now, to remember where I left the Rain-X.

 

No roof no wipers no heater no seat time = trailer. Don't hate because I came on a trailer, at least not too much.

 

no wipers no heat and lots of holes for cold air to blow threw but driver will have a big smile

 

Nice '55

 

no heat or wipers in mine either....im gonna throw the snow chains in just in case....

 

I think most cars that come to Dewey don't have wipers. Wipers suck!
See ya guys this weekend... Happy trails, Mick

 

Note to self: Pull wipers before reaching Dewey.

 

Now THAT is funny!

 

Brothers and sisters it is chilly and sunny and a perfect day at the Stray Kat 500!

 

Let me guess! Ya wrote that on the palm of your hand with a ballpoint!

 

Sharpie, my vision isn't what it used to be.

 

made it no problems.

WFT??
Got here around 8pm. Came straight to the hotel, Best Western where I thought all the action would be. They said they have no reservation for me (I have an email from hotels.com with a confirmation number and all the info; they don't care) and charged me a HIGHER rate than I'd booked for???

I think I have perhaps discovered the "issues" you mentioned, Mick?

See you Saturday!

Dave

 

Yup they made me prepay for rooms and were rude on the phone.

 

All kinds of issues with us as well. I won't get into it because I am in a room here now.

I thought hotels were in the service business and they lack in that department. Man I am
proud of myself that was politically correct statement .... Sorry guys for the issues, ill do
what I can to correct them.

We've had 250 cars show p today and a log of them drove through snow and ice to get
here. We are very blessed to have such a kool family. They just changed the forecast
tomorrow to only 40% chance of rain tomorrow morning and some drizzle. Should end
up being a good day for the show.

 

See ya in the A. M. I grew up in Iowa, a little drizzle and cool temps won't keep me away.

 

Will be headed that way shortly.

 

head to dewwy now now! look for a teal 64 t-bird and a gold 34 for rolling together in about 2 hours.

 

Heading to Stray Kat in about 15min. First time for me.

 

Heading north with a truckload of cool, "Gotta Have That! parts and pieces for you all...

Stay dry this morning under my tent...and bring $$$...

 

Had a nice sunny dry drive yesterday. Ready for some fun today!

great turnout considering the weather lotta cool cars will come back again

 

Had a great time talking with DrDave and his dad, finally meeting Travis and Jimmy, and wound up bailing out around 1:30 or so. Got home around 6pm, due to a stop for an ice cream cone and an intentional detour for a photo op. Also had fun talking with Dan Greenberg.

Great event, great folks. Awesome time spent road tripping in an old car with dad.

 

Yeh, the 40% stayed all day. I went but my car is not driveable yet....next year. Still enjoyed the cars. Real good turnout. Thanks

 

what is this wiper word you young guys keep talking about, must be some kinda new toilet or something, I prefer to do that myself. That is a funny word in the kustom world, unsure of it's purpose....
