rockabilly rod reunion?

$40 extra!!! Shit it should be NO CHARGE for using a fancy rental car making exhibition runs.

 

Me & my spouse are going. Gonna drive my 67 Surfwagon though, so I
can't enter the show. But I'm looking forward to it. Had a slight bit
of cancer I had to deal with this year, so I missed VLV. This time of
year should be pretty standable, weather wise. Can't wait!

 

Cool!! Look forward to seeing you there....

 

My bro and I will be there, look for his 59 cad 4dr with a missing roof! Check out the double down saloon for after, it's a nice dirty bar!!!!

 

There is an after party at the Cannery that your RRR-2005 wristband gets you in for free which includes:

Thee Swank Bastards
The Ghastly Ones
and....

The Surfaris

 

hey chop, crack open one for me, and next year i'll bring you a case and you can be my friend for 30 min!ha!take it easy bros, be safe! -jimmy-

 

Yeah, I'm planning on bringing that rusty bitch out there.Beware of the big cloud of smoke headed for the speedway.Hope to finally meet some fellow hambers out there, can't miss me,look for the sasquatch roaming around.

 

There's 2 of you on here now?? You & your brother!! Hell, just get Justine to sign up & you'll have the whole family.....



We will be there...NEXT year See ya at VLV...

 

She's not from hell, she's from nor-cal.

Any word on getting a little meeting area for HAMBers together, Nick?

 

I still have to work on that....I am sure I can throw something together....

Was thinking the "Crown Cycle Co." booth, but hell we can all meet in front of tha stage, worst case.

I'll get something together, wish I had a big HAMB banner....

 

I am so pumped for this weekend! This is gonna be just great!

 

Anything set up yet? Heading to the airport tommorow afternoon.

 

Yeah I am down here in Vegas, the guys at the Dragstrip have allocated a whole section for us HAMBr's.....they even offered to make up a banner....all I need is a large enough piece of artwork that says HAMB on it.

Ryan?? Anyone???


What's even cooler than that, we are discussing opening up the dirt track next to the Dragstrip next year for jalopy racing.....

how fuckin' cool is that??

 

Man Im gonna miss out on a rad show ....anyhoo, heres a bump, make sure everyone posts some pictures.

 

Ryan, anyone ???? got a large HAMB logo we can use to make a banner??

 

All you need is 4 letters and 4 dots. Just heading out the door so i will be looking for a banner. I will be wearing my 2004 Pile-up shirt from last weekend, should be the only one there with one.

 

I'll be looking for the large H.A.M.B. on a bed sheet with shoe polish hanging over the bathrooms! HAAA!! Keep us posted Nick!

I got to thinking, how the hell are we going to know who's who?? How about we post a quick pic of what we're bringing so we know what to look for. I'll start. Our coupe is out because of some last minute issues this week, but I'm bringing my Triumph Pre-unit chop if it keeps behaving. Few things to fix before coming. This is a pretty recent pic, but I've sinced changed to some little z-bars I made...

NOW... everyone else tell us what you're bringing and/or post a pic so we can meet up.

Scooter

 

Nick, I'll be at the Vegas airport around 8:30 in the morning. I'll call ya from there. We can grab a bite then get to work setting up.

 

OK BOYS ( and GOYLES)!!! We were talking about next years show, and we are adding the dirt track use to next year......

BUT as a last minute thing for this year, we are opening up the dirt track this Saturday if anyone coming wants to do a jalopy dirt run.......
