Event Coverage Jalopy Showdown 2010

Thanks for sharing the pics.Looks like everybody had a great time!

 

This was a great show! Had a blast!

 

Great show as always

 

I made it only for sat afternoon and had a blast. Watching the cars go around the track is incredible and sounds kinda stupid until you see a modified banger out there and it really is special, made me want to get back to the shop to build one so i could do it. I got some great deals at the swap meet, stuff i've been wanting for quite a while. The cars were beautiful, traditional hot rods to lead sleds and even a chopped COE with a rear-engine double W motor (at least that is what i thought it was, two 348's coupled together). But the ladies! they were just beautiful. I believe i'll make it a weekender next year.

 

Wow! Best show ever! Thanks to all who made it happen!

 

Barnum and Bailey is full of shit!!! Larry`s Jalopy Showdown is the greatest show on earth.
Stan.............

 

It is an "A" motor with a Lions head on it . not mine but I looked it over sounded sweet when he fired it up

 

Thanks again to Larry and his crew. WOW. But also thanks to all the folks who travelled to show and race there cars. Met Killer folks from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Rochester and Long Island and Guys from the area to NJ. And love the ladies. See ya next year, but see ya at the Drags at Beaver Springs. Slim

 

Damn I missed a really good time. Looks like a perfect Showdown......Rad Cars, Good People and Sloppy Mud!

Looks like a Hella good time. We are planning on going next year.

 

looks like a model A motor with a canted plug head

 

Thanks again for a great time Larry and crew. What a great show. Its gets better each year. Can,t wait for the new showers. Weather was the best its ever been.

The whole thing was simply a bag of fun. Nice to meet all the HAMB people. Seeing Megan and Denise kick hotroded's ass in the mud after the show ( see....you should have stayed a little later ) was described as " Traditional " Megan and Denise mud fun.

A few more. Slim

 

Haven't been home long. As every year we had a blast! I met alot of new folks this year even though I don't remember much of anything that went on after dark. I'll try to post some pics later.

 

that looks like an awesome time... really wanted t go, shitty i couldnt get off work.

 

damn it im kicking myself in the ass for not being at this show!!!

 

slim didn`t mean to worry you with the fire.we had everything under control,i think.you left all your beer in my kooler.just to let you know we took great care of it for you.definitely great camping neighbor.i`ll be looking for you at beaversprings.it was blast, as every year is.went to the meet and drink.met denise and a few other people.she`s very enjoyable to talk to.thanks larry and the crew for another great time.

 

I gotta tell everyone that I can confirm once again what I have said in the past.........
Jalopy Showdown is quite simply the most fun you can have at a show.

What else is there? Good people, great cars, action on the track, killer bands, amazing swap meet, talented artists.....

TOTALLY worth the trip from Iowa.

Larry and his crew make this entire event seem like it is no work at all....I can tell ya coming from both sides of these events, that this is not always an easy task. They pull it off with seemingly no effort at all and this can only be a direct result of a lot of behind the scenes hard work.

Thanks to all those that make this event happen. I truly appreciate it and I know that there were people there for the first time and they stated they would be back fer sure.........

This year seemed like it was packed to the gills with amazing cars and people with the right kind of mindset to enjoy the festivities. I am not sure where Larry is going to put more cars that are going to show up next year.................
but I am gonna try my best to be there to see what the solution is.

Bottom line -
this is one of THE shows that I compare all the other shows in the country to.

So far - I have found only a handful of shows that even come close to the amount of fun that is to be had at the Jalopy Showdown.

If you have never been........................GO!

 

Well said coolstuff!!!!
Many thanks to Larry, Kim and staff for the must be there event of the season.

 

Looks like I missed a lot of fun

 

it was really nice getting to meet you Slim, thank you for sharing your photos with us!
