Maxton

Shot at Maxton, NC on Saturday... way too many cool cars and I didn't have time to get out and shoot photos of many. Anyone else have photos?








Gotta love the "Home of Customer Abuse" tagline...

I would like to know the story behind that tag line... " the Home of customer abuse" haha

 

Anyone else have photos?

 

Congrats to the Marty Martino team from Virginia. Marty's son set a new class record in his Studebaker, first time out, first voyage for the car. He's a local guy, been working on the car for quite some time. Three generations of rodders were there on the pit team, Marty, his son and his dad. Way to go, guys!

How about the Stude the guy drove down from Ontario pulling a trailer AND he ran it! What did it run?

 

Made a lifetime of memories this weekend, especially for my 11year old daughter, Brianna! Highlight was talking with Keith Turk and the Heinke family about their Mopars!!! Pam Heinke is a very sweet person. Also, Greetings to the HAMBer I met driving the big Pontiac, whose boyfriend ran the roadster. I had to kid her about being called "Denise"!!!

 

Congrats to Ronnie Roadster from Wallingford, CT who managed to set 2 records over 200mph. Photos to follow as soon as he wakes up!

 

If I remember correctly he ran 153 mph on a 156 record.

 

That's insane... nice car too!
