Event Coverage ****Annual All Deuce Run - Now with photos****

Looks like we are the first to roll into the hotel,,I sure hope a few more guys show up this evening,there are a good many guys that go on the run that live in the area and I imagine they will show up at the Lone Star for dinner. .HRP



This one showed up a few minutes ago,the car is from Florida.

Ron Hickman's coupe.

 

Thanks for pics

 

I'm waiting to see if Harry shows up. Is he going to be in his car or did you take pity on him and let him drive the pickup? Have fun and be careless!

 

I'm afraid Harry is a no show this year.

A few more stragglers.. HRP

Owners name is Ken (32 Drifter) and his riding partner is also Ken.



This car belongs to Ralph.

 

Danny, ya'll be carefull n have fun. Hope the weather holds for ya.

 

And on his way to points west, with LARS bein his final destination.

 

Poor Harry. Its pouring here, hope you guys miss it and have a good drive. Looking forward to more pics. Thanks.

 

Looks as tho everyone still likes my LAR "Headlight stickers"!!---Don

 

Red&Black 3/window is 32 on the flyer...

 

Danny, where are y'all and what time do you shove off? The search function is screwed up and I can't find that info. I may drive down in the morning.
Thanks
Rock

 

Jack thought you were coming this year since you weren't going to York. HRP

 

Bob,It started raining around 4:00 PM and it is still raining,,a lot of us met at the Lone Star and some of the guys braved the rain in topless roadsters.HRP

 

My old sedan and Tom T's car. HRP

 

Due to all the rain I didn't get anymore photos tonight. HRP

 

We are meeting at the Target Shopping Center in Cornelius in the morning,,leaving by 10 AM,,,Come by early and met some of the guys. HRP

 

Hopefully it'll clear up by morning. And you know how roadster guys are. They are a special breed. Bonus points if one of them installed a rain gauge for the trip. That way they can say "it rained XXX inches and we still made the run!" LOL!

 

Do me a favor if you would please. I'm not wanting to irritate anyone but I've often wonderd how many of the deuces at that gathering were made when Henry was still alive? You know them as good as anyone, percentage wise how many are over 80 years old.

 

Mine is!

 

Man!...wish I could participate!,,,working on finishing new shop....so I can finish my '32!!!....we'll see you guys next year!!!!.....hey!...Tom!.....see you soon!.....

 

We didn't make it, I got the engine in but it's got a few gremlins and I still have to break it in bit before I take it any distance.

If Danny had let me drive the pickup he might not get it back.

 

Gentleman by the name of Birch drove his Roadster to our designated dining spot last night in the pouring rain holding a umbrella with one hand and the steering wheel with the other,,needless to say the umbrella failed,he was staying at our headquarters motel.

Barry got to the motel late last night (I know it's not hamb friendly)but alt least he did drive the car was driven from Connecticut .

 

Getting everyone loaded up we were off on the short 10 mile ride to met everyone at the Target Shopping Center in Cornelius,North Carolina.

Now before someone beats me to it,I led our merry band down the interstate in the wrong direction so our 10 mile trip was a little further than it was suppose to.

Good thing friends new & old have a sense of humor.

We arrive at the designated meeting spot with plenty of time to spare,, Jeffrey James & his two adorable kids came by to see us off.

Total count this year was 31 roadster,sedans,3 & 5 window coupes,a cabriolet and a deuce pickup.

No rain fell today,the weather was a little over cast,,it was perfect.

It's gonna take some time to post the point and shot photos that Brenda & I take but be sure Tom(Seadog) will be posting some of his incredible photos.

These photos are from our starting point this morning.HRP

 

Here are some photos from today. The weather turned out fine, a little cloudy on the BR Parkway, but all in all a nice day. I had a great time. Lot's of people had cameras so post 'em up.
