Event Coverage Oct 11, 2014 - Hot Rod Hundred Reliability Run - St Louis

For those who have said that they didn't see the info about this run, the CrossMembersCC is hosting the last Hot Rod Hundred, of the 2014 season, on October 11, 2014. The pre-registration is set to close on September 1, so if you are planning to attend, and to snag one of the T-shirts, get that registration sent in.

The run will start in South County, cross over into Illinois, and heading south, for a rural ride down the Mississippi valley. There will be some stops along the way, allowing for coffee recycling, stretch your limbs, swap stories, and look at the other hot rods and kustoms. We'll cross back over into Missouri, at Chester, IL, and will end the run at Vance Vinyards, with a catered lunch.

PLEASE NOTE:

1. This is an event for the whole family.
2. Focus is traditional Hot Rods and Customs pre’65 vehicles.
3. Entries need to be in by September 1, 2014.
4. The organizers may choose to cap the number of registered participants accepted based on the final route chosen.
5. The event is a RAIN or SHINE event.

DISCLAIMER: Since this is a “driving event”, we highly recommend that all adult beverages stay at home.

 

12 days until pre-registration closes.

Event T-shirt will be the same as at the other Hot Rod Hundred events, and will be ordered based on the pre-registrations that are received. What that means: If ya want one, get yer registration sent in.

Here's a photo of Jimmy (Gonmad), modeling one of the event T-shirts, during our SWMO event. The front of the T-shirt features a pie-crust slick on a 5 spoke, like our 2014 event sticker.

Thanks!

Pre-Registration closes a week from today. If you are planning on joining in on the fun, be sure to get the forms printed off, filled out fully and chuck that puppy in the mail with the appropriate fundage.

For those of you whom would prefer, you can register by shooting your fundage to our PayPal account, and e-mail your entry form to me or @cvstl

 

Mid-week bump. Monday is cutoff day, for pre-registration. Before you take off for the holiday weekend, remember to fill out your form and send in your registration check, so that we can get ya on the list.

For you high tech guys, you can paypal your registration fee to [email protected] and send your registration via e-mail to the same e-mail address.

Looking forward to October 11! It'll be here before we know it.

 

Brett, my entry goes in the mail today. Sam

 

Cool deal, Sam. I'll add ya to the spreadsheet.

 

Today is the posted pre-entry deadline. If you are planning on coming and haven't sent in your registration yet, shoot me an e-mail, so I can make sure that we order a T-shirt in your size, and throw your entry in the mail tomorrow. The other option is to paypal the money to [email protected] and send your entry info and liability release via e-mail.

Thanks!

Due to popular demand, we have decided to extend the pre-registration date out to September 15. The entry form has been updated with September 15 date, to help reduce some confusion. You may still use the paypal option to pay your entry fee, by sending payment to [email protected] and following it up with an e-mail with your form. This will still get you a T-shirt. All entries will receive the Hot Rod Hundred sticker.

Clay Vance, @cvstl, ran the route this past weekend and I believe he has chosen a great route. He will be confirming with our chosen starting location, this week, and we hope to announce that within the next few days. Once we have that confirmed, it should help any out of town folks to make their lodging arrangements.

You still can register AT the event, but there are no guarantees that we will have additional T-shirts available at that time.

Guess I better get this thing back together....

 

Two days left and the mail doesn't run tomorrow!

T-shirts have been ordered. Due to this being the final 2014 event, we did a very short run of "extra" t-shirts, that will be available on the day of the event.

Only 19 more days until the event!

 

Less than 2 weeks away! Looking forward to a great run.

 

I've got the awards just about done!! I need to make a trip up to Springfield when I get them done and drop them off with you Bret if that's cool

 

Planning on a 500 mile reliability trip prior to the 100 miles for the run. Getting excited!

 

If it's anything like our run down to OKC, it will be an epic adventure..... looking forward to seeing you guys.!!

 

Cory, just give me a shout when you are planning on coming up here. I'm gonna head to StL on Thursday, the 9th.

 

The Hot Rod Hundred is an event not to be missed............so get in gear slackers and register!

 

BTTT

 

A week away and I am still trying to get my car running. Still planning on it!

 

Taking my truck over to the muffler shop, this afternoon, to have them finish up the new dual exhaust. I spent the last two evenings taking out the original pipe and installing a set of Red's dual exhaust extensions from the exhaust manifolds. I have it bolted together, back to the mufflers, but they will need to preposition them to route the tail pipes.

 

One week away! I got the truck's pipes finished up, now an oil change and a good scrubbing, to remove some of the grime I got on the truck while working on it, and I am ready to roll!

You can still come and register the day of the event. We will open registration/check-in at 8:30am and you can register until 9:30. Starting location is:

Museum of Transportation
2967 Barrett Station Rd
St Louis, MO 63122
