Event Coverage ** Stray Kat 500 / May 2, 3 & 4, 2014/ DEWEY, OK

We love "real" Kustoms and Hot Rods. We believe guys are getting tired of going to just another show,
so we focus on trying to create a relaxing, laid back show where you can meet new friends and talk about
Kustoms and Hot Rods. We have trophies but they go to the Koolest not the most money spent or the
over baby'd. We believe in having fun and enjoying our hobby without the stress of competition. Our shows
you will see more then just kool vehicles. We believe the importance of entertaining the whole family. You
will hear kool music, see talented artist, Kool antique stores and meet a lot of kool people.





***WHERE SHOULD I STAY? ***


All of the hotels are in Bartlesville, Ok which is only four miles form Dewey.

The host hotel changed their name, the host hotel is the Quality Inn.

Quality Inn and their phone number is (918) 335-7755
Hampton inn is right next door to the Host (918) 335-1122
Super 8 is across highway 75, phone number is (918) 333-4051.

We also have a large group staying at the Fairfield inn and suites in Bartlesville right off of highway 75.
It is a real kool place and in walking distance to three good restaurants. Their phone number is 918-331-2100.



***WHERE ARE WE GOING ON FRIDAY? ***



This year our Friday activity will be a reliability run to the Daryl Starbird’s National Rod & Custom
Car Hall of Fame Museum In Afton, Ok. Sounds like a long drive but its only 63 miles away. Right
now we have around 25 guys interested so its going to be a kool run. Some of the guys have talked
about meeting us at the Museum and then running back over with us……. Working out the details as
far as when we will leave the host hotel. Stay tune…..



***WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HIT OVER OUR 500 limit? ***


We will have over our 500 entries and we have not turned any one away.
We have room for 650 cars, once we hit that mark then we will come up with a plan.
Our goal is too keep the show small so it can continue to be a social event. That is very
important to our club.



***Who is winning the "Inspiration" award this year? ***


This years Inspiration award will go to two really kool guys this year. The award will go to
Gary Mundy & Jeff Myers. We are very excited to acknowledge two of the koolest guys too
ever build and drive a Kustom. Thank you guys for all that you have done within our hobby.

Gary Mundy





Jeff Myers





*** Also don't forget the kool Pin up contest



We had a pin up contest years ago and We were attracting way too many Poodle skirts so I stopped it.
We are going to start it back and I have 232 Studios helping us organize it.

If you have any questions just let me know and stay tune for more details... Happy Trails, Mick

 

Looking forward to it, Mick!

Mick kept me posted on the star bird dealio. I'll meet yous there.

 

Barring any emergencies, I will be driving down this year. Cant wait. Looking forward to it.

 

yea the starbird thing sounds pretty rad.

 

Going to be a fun year, I had two calls yesterday on your run. I don't know about you
but I'm ready to do something kool.

Thanks John, Hopefully one of these days I can make it up north. I don't know about you
but I'm looking forward to purrfect weather this year.

Tahlequah gang never disappoints, always showing up in something kool.

No.....

Me too, it has been a long winter....

That would be kool to meet up with ya guys at the Museum. We got the approval so the
Starbird run is a go. We will be leaving the host hotel at 9:00 so we will be at the museum
before 10:30. Looks like we will have a good group rolling over with us and a kool group
meeting us there....

Looking forward to seeing ya Herb.

 

I'm there. Looking forward to the run to Starbird's. I haven't been their since his grand opening in '95. What time will you be leaving on Friday to get there? Just wanting to make sure I make it to town in time.

edit: nevermind….should have read the whole thread with your replies above. duh!

 

The Jetter boys S-H-O-U-L-D be there in their Cadillacs...that is, barring any typical ColoRODo late winter/early Spring snow storms... Dewey is 14 hours from Denver and I hate driving that distance in bad weather...looking forward to meeting Dr. Dave and the Starbird run...

Sweet! I guess I should've read your post cause I might just be able to talk the boss into letting me off early and meet y'all there!!

Guess you didn't read all the replies...I live 14 (that's fourteen hours away) and I love the event, try to make every one I can...weather sometimes hampers whether I show up or not...!!!

R-

 

I'm planning on driving the coupe this year. (Let's see if that makes it worth his drive) ;-)

 

Do you think my cars would fit in?

 

Certainly...!!! Either one...

R-

 

you...are a mental case

 

The Starbird run will be a kool addition to the show. It's a kool two lane drive to Afton
I'm plan on breaking away from the show to drive over. I just hadn't told Renee yet...

Very Kool, Love it when the Jetter Brothers drive up to hang out with us.. do you still have the picture of Dan driving through snow last year. It's a kool pic..

Call in sick, the SK500 is kool therapy. I will write the prescription.

Very Kool!

Your coupe is worth driving to Springfield and seeing it in your garage with the door shut. Now that's kool....

Kool that you still own the Nomad, I sure miss mine.

 

I'll be there. Had a great time last year despite the not so perfect weather.
Lee

 

Very Cool Event for sure.

It is an open show but we advertise it as a Pre 64 Show. I know that is confusing. We have
left it an open show to try to convert guys into our hobby, proud to say we have converted
a few. Of the 500 plus entries, 90% are pre-64 real Kustoms and Hot Rods.
