Had a great time a met alot of cool kats. Was a little hung over from the night before at the motel partying with Mike from Grand Rapids MI(gray 64 chev pik-up) & Rick from Jersey(black 34 chev) and quite a few others. All around good time and definitely coming back next year. Anywho, here are some of my pics from the showdown...
(that's us next to Mike's truck )

 

So much for seeing the new paint on 999...

 

I was there on Saturday. I was hanging out with Larry (KustomChief), Jeff (Sawzall), Brian (Tokyo), Jeff McKelvey (Jeff) and Glen.

I drove into town beside the Deadbeaters, but unfortunately I was just driving my '03 Dakota. Cool me.

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet more HAMBers.

I forgot my camera at home!

Who is Bob K. from Minnesota with the green '51(?) Chevy convertible with "HAMB" plates? That car is beautiful and SOMEBODY must have photos of him tearing around the track. CRAZY!

This is definitely one of the best shows around. Anyone who's ever considered going should just go next year. You won't regret it.

Does anyone have photos of the fenderless '34 pickup truck (dull green). I think it might have been a Road Agents truck. I really dug it. There were tons of great cars there and I'm so mad I didn't have my camera.

 

What no SHEEP THIS YEAR????

 

I got some shots of Bob K on track.Will post soon.

 

I knew I was in trouble when I came out of that porta john and the camera's were flashing

Once 999 was running I was was a happy pup. I guess it was elergic to the shiney paint. I was miserable when it wouldn't start. I just couldn't bare the thought of not being able to flog the car around the track.

I also got lucky in the swapmeet. I got a match to my 20" artillery wheel, a Hurst motor mount and some Rotoflow shocks.

Thanks Larry and sorry I couldn't be of more help.

PS...metalgirl...that one pic with my pick up in it looks really cool.

 

Dude!! There were plenty of sheep. The "Douche Bags" just decided to keep it on the low low.

 

Junior..where are you taking Patty!!??

 

Had a great time at the show. For some reason I wasn't in the picture taking mood, but i got a couple pics. I didn't stay long enough to see the 999 up and running but I got a pic of it before the brand new textured brown paint job. If you need 1 of these pics, i have big versions.

 

HEll yeah!!!!!!!! Thats what I'm talking about.

Thanks to LArry and the Crew for hosting the best hotrod happining on the east coast.

And who was that crazy Fu$#&%er in the Roadster driving in the mud

 

See Larry! THAT'S why I'm proud to be allowed to help!

THAT Sir is the "Mud Master" (thanks for coming)

 

That shot of Clark coming out of the portapottie covered in 'mud'... Priceless. A great humourous start for a Monday morning. He looks just like the 'Shit Monster' in the movie Dogma.

I had even more fun at the Showdown than Fatty Patty.

Thanks for the great event, Larry!

 

Your a mad dog! Thanks Caffine for posting the video of Rudy and Denise that brought a smile! Yet another must make show in the future!

 

damn that looks like it was a lot of fun..thanks for sharing the pics

 

I'll have some low-tech B&W's that'll be coming out of development in the coming week.

-Roadstar I have a few of you soaking it up on the backstretch, and one I hope turns out real well next the 999.

 

Who is Bob K. from Minnesota with the green '51(?) Chevy convertible with "HAMB" plates? That car is beautiful and SOMEBODY must have photos of him tearing around the track. CRAZY!

Bob is from Wis not Minnesota and yes it's a very nice car. Doesn't suprise me that he'd have it on the track

 

I've been going to York for over 10 years....next year the new tradition starts! You guys are havin too much fun!!!!!!!

This must be the racecar owned by the "legendary" big Pete Trumbaur!
If it's owned by big Pete, I wonder if there's a story behind it?

 

That be ME, I'm from Wisconsin acutally, I shoulda got the damn thing muddy but I chickened out. Sure was fun, actually got the ass end hanging out a little bit on the last lap. I sure hope somebody else has pic's. Can't wait to see yours Flatdog.

Hell Yea!
Thanks to Larry and the guys for a great time....
I guess next year we (The Drifters) should crash out in the campgrounds.... We stayed at at the hotel in dillsburg, where there was nothing to do.. We did meet this cool older guy named Jimmy Who helped us out with parts and some advice after Trixie (the monster dodge pickup) busted a couple of trans cooler lines... I cant say enough how cool this guy!!!
I am planning on coming out again next year! Way to much fun! BTW if you have a stong car and good brakes and are coming from west of PGH Take old rt 30 its an awsome drive!! killer views, and if you arent careful killer curves and drop offs.... 7% grades! we came out the Pike and went back Rt 30... Great end to an awsome show!!!!
THanks Again

So how many cars attended?? Glad to see Tyler made it up okay

 

Future note for new attendees next year - Ride the Rocket......

50 cents won't buy you anything more fun, outside of Bangkok.....

 

my 25 cent fatty patty ride was more fun.

 

Yeah, I heard about the Fatty Patty antics. Unfortunately having the flu all week took me out of participating in Friday nights festivities.

 

We were standing nearby when he walked in (Don't ask why we were hangin' by the shitter), and about 4-5 of us looked at each other, and we all had light bulbs floating over our heads.

Everyone just reached for the cameras

 

Yes it's a Trummy and Big Peter always has a story

 

Great post. Love the mud slinging. Gotta be a lot of fun. WEre there showers to spray down after a trip around the track?
