Before I get slapped, I did a search and found nothing, so if there is a roll call thread for the drags already delete this. Went to the showdown this year for the first time, I'm hooked, it was great so... The girlfriend and I both took the weekend off so we could camp at the drags, hang out and hopefully meet some new people in the process. So who's all going??? and what ya bringing? Come say hi to me and heather if you plan on camping there. Just look for the big white 06 dodge sprinter. I'm gonna try to make friends with scarrylarry and see if he'll let me make a pass in the van!!!!!!!!!!!!! edit: should add this. if anyone needs anything taken down from northeast ohio; i'll have room for parts or whatever you might need.
The family and I will be there for a little while. I also wondered who was coming and what they are bringing. later shawn
I'll be there with 999 my 48 and maybe Tower's coupe. I'll be runnin 999 hard. Lookin to put a hurtin on some flatheads with that 4 cylinder I'd challenge Zach to a grudge match but I doubt those flatheads will make it there let alone make it down the track Clark

your gona win by forfeit Clark, I'm not going to be bringing any cars besides....I don't know if i would feel right putting back all the future generations efforts in engineering that went into designing that "new" motor! I vote for a 5 lap duel at Latimore instead!
Funny..my Merc made it all the way to Baltimore yesterday with a Flatty...of course it was of the more modern variety...and I seem to remember a '49 Ford that went cross-country a few times with a flat head engine too. I guess they didn't drag race back in the 40's....they just towed thier cars to shows and paraded around...? Spike
Come on Zach......if you guys don't start driving those cars farther than the local cruise night You'll have to change the name of your club to the from the Flyers to the "Puddle Jumpers" Yeh I've got a newer motor but I"ve got 4 less cylinders and That Banjo rear is going to take a beating!! Spike...I know you'll be there ...how many lengths do I need to give you Somebody has to talk some smack!!!! Clark
ill be there in my poncho hopefully it sells there so i can finally start working on the roadster i want
Clark- Give me the whole track and I'll still lose... That 999 is gonna sound like a swarm of angry bees! Spike
John..I'll hook the camper up just to give you a chance...give a whole new meaning to sleeping on the line Spike...999 is getting slicks too! Clark
Wasn't able to make it...but would love to see some pics, as I know a bunch of my buddies were going.
I'm goin'. The coupe will be done for next year maybe.I like Larry's events and can't wait to have a hotrod finished to enjoy them even more. Smokey
Oh cool... I think I was thinking of a different event, Something taking place at Keystone Raceway in New Alexandria yesterday... Give me some details on next week's event, maybe I can make that one!

I'll be there I'll post a photo of the poster art soon...REAL cool! Zombie illustration and Curt Six's alway great oldtimey layout. Clark I'll put my "incorrect" 32 up against the 999. Then we'll both whip Mikeys trophy car flatty!! Thats the best smack I can talk because I could really care less about winning...its just gonna be fun!! Everyone PLEASE remember that you NEED to have a seat belt, a catch can on your radiator at the very least. See the website http://jalopyshowdown.com or other post for the couple other rules.
SO WHAT See you all there, just not in the roadster (no windsheild, no headlights not to legal in johnny laws eyes yet)
