Event Coverage 19th Lone Star Goodguys (D/FW)

wtf ??

 

The 18's and up 5 spokes, same question wtf?

 

HahaHa .. I don't think it was joke, his better half had the same costume on more or less ..

 

wheels unbolt easy .. lighten up

 

These are not 15's either .. shoot me

 

Much better design for the era. How much $ ? Shoot ya? You work for the gov'ment?

 

Never asked the price , way out of my league ..

 

Didn't get too many pictures but I will post a few. This show gets better every year. The Autocross is really cool. Also the Laps around the big track is exciting.

 

Lot's of HAMB friendly stuff

Nice photos folks, It looks like it is one hell of an event to go to.

Well, they do it twice a year ..and I get why they like to hold the events at Nascar tracks ..one way in, one way out ..etc

Both events go well past 1700 cars , sad part is we are all stuck inside , no way to move around

I wish we could for one weekend be allowed to make the loop around the track on the outside somehow , such a big space a little elbow room would be nice ..

blockade off the out side ring of the track and encourage movement ??

Talk to the father of the guy that came up insoioration for the art on the car and it's a good srtory, but you will have to be there to find out.

 

Ben Locke (Ponder, TX) in Ford Galaxie @ Lone Star Nationals


I really appreciation you accusing my father of creating a situation that might potentially damage your car simply because he parked next to your car, or, as you repeatedly emphasized, “crowded my car!” I was blown away when I realized you were being serious as you rudely repeated it 3-4 times, trying to create a situation with us.

I loved how you shifted blame to the threat of “spectators walking by w/ belt buckles” after he proved to you it was physically impossible for his car’s door, when fully opened, to even come close to your car.

Perhaps, in the future, Good Guy’s will allow you to create a “Ben Locke’s Ford Galaxie area” with a 10’ perimeter all the way around your car to ensure no belt buckles or other articles endanger your car.

The Galaxie displayed some excellent workmanship, so congrats to the builder, but man, the owner took the cake for being the realest piece of work I’ve ever encountered in what is usually an easy-going and enjoyable event filled with good people.

Sorry H.A.M.B., not as pleasant a 1^st post as I’d like, but it needed to be said. This a-hole turned what is an annual day of car scene fun I enjoy with my dad (who drives in from 7hrs away to visit/attend) into an upsetting day.

 

Those 2 trucks on post 106 were at Yello Belly and are lightning fast!

 

So cool! How much was it going for?

I hope to find one with as much character when I get back to the states.

 

Sone drag racing event would be a nice addition also.

 

Spent a lot of Friday and most of Saturday there, with the Tub T. Can't make it out today due to a previous commitment. Finished yesterday with a track cruise.

 

Nice stripes
