Features Northern California Roadster Run....drive em if you got em!

I have not been active on here for a long time, but I wanted to let you all know the
Nor Cal Roadster is coming up next month, Sat July 9th.

Here is a link to a well documented account of the run a few years ago.

I hope those of you that want to go and understand what it is about can come out
for a day of driving around old hot rods.
See the rules below. And if you want to go, contact me and I will tell you where we will start. There is no charge or registration, just doing it for the love of driving.

 

This is what I will be driving....
This is my old 45 day special, which I documented the build on here years ago.

Well I tore the car apart and redid a bunch of stuff, and painted it, this time I took my time
and did it in 60 days

If you are replying to this to say you are going, it may be nice to include a picture of your car,
so I can know who you are when you get there.
And it seems like everyone wants pictures for everything these days.

 

I can't wait!!! This is the one thing I look forward to every year. This and the regular reliability run. This truly is an experience that should be had by the true hot toddler who loves to drive there cars.

 

Hot rodder even though I'll be having a toddler soon damn auto correct

 

what a cool event, rock it cats and kittens

 

Would I be welcome? No problem if not. Steel body, '50 cad engine, banjo diff, Honestly Econoline three speed top loader with Jeep shifter.

Gary in Clearlake

 

Cool idea, need to do something like this down here.

 

Hi Dave! Long time no see! Haven't been on your run in a long time. My roadsters undergoing interior surgery right now. Dammit! Redbeard puts on a great run and he KNOWS how to drive a roadster!!!

 

Hi Dave, good to see you on the hamb again. Hell yea I'll be there! Probly in the rpu since the banger won't be ready, hope that's ok?!
Johnny

Grill-shells optional????

 

This sounds like fun, and it's good to see the old girl again Johnny.....

 

Still planning on doing the reliability run with post '53 monkey motion motors? Had a blast a couple years back.

 

I REALLY want to do this next year.... maybe I should start lobbying now for an invite, despite my hidden SBC. This sounds like a total blast!!!

 

Yes Gary, you are welcome to bring along your T
I look forward to meeting you.

 

Hi Pat, it has been a long time.
I look forward to driving with you again, your roadster is looking really good. Glad to see pictures of it
on here.

 

Glad to here you are coming Johnny, grill shell or not haha.

 

Hi Devin,
Yes I will still be putting on the Reliability Run later this year, in September. I'll
start a thread for that later.

 

Hi Timmy,
I am very happy to hear you are going. It is a blast driving with you and that T.
And I appreciate your comments on the runs.

 

This car would be more than welcome to go on the run I do later in the year in September.
That run is called the Northern California Reliability Run, and is open to all
bodies up to 1940 and any motors, trannies, etc.
That is a cool car, and I'd love to see it out on the road in September.
you can search the Reliability Run on here and there is plenty of info.

 

Hey Nobey, good to hear from you! And I'm glad you like the old "54b", we try to keep her out on the road so she doesn't get cranky!
Yea, Dave's runs are ALWAYS a good time, come join us.
Johnny

 

Thank you for the invite Johnny really appreciate it, would sure like to go, but the
trans in the 32 is a little sketchy at the moment' ( needs new bearings). Take lots of
photos for us, PLEASE.....

 

One week away bump

 

Hey folks, if your rig qualifies this is a must do run, Dave puts on the BEST runs. He finds the best roads Nor Cal has to offer and tops it off with great eatin/drinkin spots. And great people. Can't go wrong.

 

Come on folks, great run, gotta drive'm! Who's going????

 

Hi, I would like to tag along. Traditional Henry steel roadster with a 3 speed manual, buggy spring suspension and drums BUT has a 8 inch ford rear if that is okay?

 

Very nice looking car.

 

Thank you, she has been around for a long time.

 

Let's go!

 

Too many modern features on my car for this run, but I'm definitely gonna come down to see everyone, see the cars, and see you off. I'll go on the run September 3rd.

 

Ah Shoot, Now I'm sick!!!!!!
I wanted to go on this run the last time that ya had it…… Ah man, I've gotta hit this one time in my life, Have it again next year, I'll make sure that I won't plan anything on that weekend… Of course other than this .

Have a great run guys, I've seen some of those cars in person and they're pretty damn kool!!!!! Have a Beer for me.

CK.

 

Anyone who's driving have an empty passenger seat and need a navigator? I don't drool too much, have reasonable bladder control, can read a map or driving instructions, and I can take pictures.
