    john always love your threads, saw your wife at long beach autorama, i asked her where's the ball and chain? she said you were out taking pictures. I picked up a few shirts, even one for the little lady!
    I love the fact that you guys take debit and credit cards, so many venders cry that they cant do it cause it cost too much, I applauded you guys for being able to provide such service at events! thank you!!!!

    Phone service is pretty bad at the track so it is difficult to load photos. I will catch up tonight.

    Hey John nice pics, i love following your threads. There were so many cool cars there! Great job on the pics, i like how you take pics of some of the most unique rigs. Guess you kinda have an eye for those types of things. Great meeting you guys in Long Beach, keep those pics coming.

    Hey it was nice meeting you also. I wish I had taken a photo of your coupe with the banger (and your girl) - I'm sure everyone here would love to see them both. Very cool car. Very cute girl.
     
  24. I never rush out the gate anytime I was there just hanging out the first year and got to see the cackle, back then they started closer to the fence and got closer and slower the cackle's still are a blast. But it is packed on the track afterwards.
