Event Coverage LONESTAR ROUNDUP - a TON of Roadtrip and Event Photos!

Well, another great Roundup is here and gone already!

Uncle John, and I, left Omaha in his Roadster on Wednesday morning and returned around 2:00 pm today (Monday). We didn't have any problems to speak of and really had a great time.

What really made the trip was getting a chance to talk to so many people --- including ones that I've met already and new ones that I just met on this trip. As tired as I am, I really feel like I could do the trip again next weekend. We put about 2,000 miles on the Roadster and spent about 35 hours in the seat. Having the top on it made a world of difference, especially with the cool weather and Friday's rain.

I won't bore you too much more with details -- I'll post a bunch of photos with info -- hope you enjoy them!


Here are a few photos going through Nebraska on Wednesday morning



I-80 was closed for a little ways, so we had to detour through Waco, NE




Uncle John at the wheel...


Some construction / road grinding in Kansas


We stopped in Salina, KS to have lunch with Jay (Nosurf) and Dick (CuzinDeke)


We checked out Jay's awesome coupe and stopped at Paul's (PovertyFlats) workplace to see the PeterBeater








Some guy gave this pink shock to Jay...

Great candid shots! Where can we order some of those pink shocks?

A different way to haul a lawn mower-




Salvage yard in Northern Texas

 

We spent Wendesday night at a good friend's house in Plano (Allen), Texas. Ro & Kelli have welcomed us hoodlums into their house for the past four years and we always appreciate their hospitality






On Thursday morning we followed Ro to meet BigKen nearby and head south towards Austin




...following Ken through the Dallas morning traffic








We met up with Ryno at the south end of Dallas


...and the next stop was West, Texas, to meet up with a few other HAMB guys








Danny (Dirty32) had some engine problems and had to trailer his '32


Awesome car, by the way!

 

gotta love it lol

 

Thats about 5 minutes from my house. If you need anything you better have a money tree planted in your yard cuz they are not cheap.
