Event Coverage 4th Annual Texas Thaw......

What? You said put in a "Trans Brake"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As far as Tech questions, Yes on the puke tank, along with seatbelts.

 

Helmets for all roadsters.
Can't remember what the ET break is where all drivers need one but if you got one might want to throw it in.

 

I was wondering when the trash talk was going to start. I'm ready to go and I'm looking for my old friend Doc to even the score with now that were on an even playing field.





I haven't forgotten about you Bill. You guys keep raising the bar, but were going to give your alky motor a run this year.

 

Looking good Mark
Look out boys "THE REBELS ARE COMING"

 

I guess I missed the blower sale at Kmart! Hope they have pistons on sale next week cause you boys need to put the little pulley on to catch me.

 

Time to get the wheely bars on!

 

Only a 4% chance of snow Friday.
Don't know if we'll need the burn barrels this year.

 

If I don't bring the burn barrel, I will have room for my BIG cooler, full of liquid sustenance......stuff.........you know.

 

What is that "funny shaped thing under the carb".......haha......looking good. Next thing ya know, 'ol Bill will will be puttin one on under all of those little pipe thingies that are sticking out of his engine
See ya Friday

 

Got all the leaves shop vacumed out of the Dodge today and i even got all the alley cat footprints and Tomcat spray washed off.Hope it runs as good as it did at the DOTD .See you guys when the gates open Saturday ...

 

There seems to be money already being put down to see if I'm going to scatter the motor on the first pass. We'll make it a point to make that first race happen Doc. You up for a Friday night pass? Save the lettering on the back for Bill.

Blue Light Special Bill.

 

we'll they say you are what you eat! catsup, anyone? i like my pusscakes with heinz!

 

Maple surple pusscakes ain't bad neither!.......................jus sayin.....

 

Too funny!!! Love the new look and door graphics. Oh don't forget, Diapers on isle 3.
Good tip on the margarita machine Doc, i've been using one for a wood chipper!

 

You guys are both blinko! You feed it raw milk through the fuel lines and drop your ice in through the velocity stacks and out comes the best ice cream you've ever had. That's helado for you Herb.....wait your Native American.....medicine snow big fella!

 

Someone better bring that burn barrel...just looked at the weather forecast....We won't freeze this year, but it will dam sure be a bit nippy.........

See all Sat am.......

Mark

 

Memories captured by Chris...............

 

we are building an okie army of hot rods coming your way sat morning, a few advance scouts out friday ahead of us... be very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Heard today that Denton county issued a burn ban yesterday. Might want to check into that before you guy's roll out the barrels.

 

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN -- CURSES.......will investigate.

Spoke with the Fire Marshall and he's say's sorry, no burn barrels.............BUT - we can still use grills for the fajitas and the chili........WOOOO-WHOOOOO

 

So, for us "Thaw Virgins" what's the plan for Friday? And Sat fer that matter...
Gonna be fun!

 

Friday night Fun-&-Grudge until 11pm. Pit party until 'Yo-Baby' crashes, and BYOC - no bottles.
Saturday, Tech, time-trials, nitro around lunch, eliminations about 1pm-ish.
Should be wrappin' up by 5 with awards............bring sunblock, its Texas and winter.

 

The Central Texas Possie will be stormin the hill Friday nite. Hide the women, children and Okies.

 

But now you can...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I don't know what you're talking about.....hic....shoot fire, I'll try anything to make an ol Flathead go faster, gotta make up for the "no" cubic inches and no breathing" somehow....haha

I always look forward to the Thaw and racing. But the thought of getting my beater hotrod out on the track, then bringing it back to the pits and having some big fun. When I see kids or even grown ups looking at my rod with that look. I get the biggest kick out of sharing with them and putting them in it for fun or pictures. Don't you know how much it stokes a kid or a gray haired beauty to just sit in a hotrod. So if you see someone that is out of their zone, looking at our toys. Or some kid or old timer. Maybe take the time to give them a smile or welcome them out. Maybe even a photo moment. When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's, racers where hard nose and hard assed folks. I remember it well how you made a wide path for them. It is a different time now and it is always good to send new comers away with a better thought of who we are. A lot of kids are watching with wide eyes. So if ya have time add some more fun to your own outing and maybe give forward a bit.

And I have dibs on giving parking lot cruses to all the more vintage ladies, and kids and young ladys. And I am 4 foot of don't share well. Ow, and pin-up girls. Not Robert.
