    Unfortunately there are only 500 or so race cars allotted and there has to be close to 1000 people that want to play

    That's so true.I think the number gets chopped down quite a bit by the guys who don't want to change their cars to suit the criteria too though...
    I saw a post on Facebook the other day where a guy put up a picture of a really clean 65 Mustang fastback,but it was wearing weld wheels and a cowl hood.
    He said "would my car be ok at your event?",and I forget if it was Jeff or Kip,but they replied :"You would need to change the wheels and hood".
    As far as I know the guy never replied.

    I think a lot of guys don't "get it",and they don't strive for the level of vintage vibe that most of us plan our projects around from the beginning,so when they are told that their modern looking stuff doesn't fit the criteria it sometimes hits a nerve and offends.

    Sometimes guys just need a little more time to come around to the idea,or sometimes the just need time for their current shit to sell in the classifieds so they can buy a Crites hood and a set of Torq Thrusts to put on the car.

    Either way,I'm just glad I got my entry in early,cause now I just have to sweat about getting the car finished in time!

    My engine parts go to the shop next Wednesday,so that part of it is on the fast track....Now I just have to ensure the car is right as rain by the time the motor comes back.:)

    Gammz ,that Ranchero reminds me of the one that Shelby used to have as a "shop car".
    They used to chase parts and tow race cars with it,but it had a hot 289 in it with all the Cobra goodies,cam,headers,gears,etc,and would run circles around a lot of respectable cars:)

    That was me 30lbs lighter and without the bald spot.....Good memories right there!

    Let me tell ya something Jeff,without that glorious mullet,I never would have tapped those two foxy ladies either,so just stop letting your jealousy get the best of you.

    The fact that they were my sister Darlene (left),and my aunt Shirley's cousin Marsha (right),doesn't take away any glory from my conquest.Not one bit.

    Now having to pose while Mom took the picture,that was a bit awkward...I'll give you that.

    Nonetheless,I WILL be victorious,and you will rue the day you stirred up shit with the likes of me Mister!

    Also,who is the truck slut?And could you give her my number...?

    Thanks Buddy!

    Scott

    I doubt I will run circles around anyone. But if you ask nice I might do a few doughnuts.

    Surprising how many folks don't read the criteria or figure it didn't apply to them and pre-register anyway... but I'm not here to bash them... I am surprised how many folks trash talk the event without ever being there...

    There have been many folks who have converted to the cause once they have attended and understand the point of it all. Racer-X comes to mind. He was a little on the outside - talking in... until he was convinced to show up... Now he's a convert and brainwashed to the cause. And a great addition to the event.

    Anyway....I got a little off track there.
    Let's go back to happier times.
    Imagine if you will,Meltdown Drags 2014.
    Jeff and I are enjoying a cold beer after a long day of racing,and I get a little sleepy,so Jeff is kind enough to tuck me in with a blanket on the couch in his motorhome,and read me a story:)
    That is the exact point when shit all went wrong.....

    You gotta love Jeff! 300+ pre-registrations to wade through and he still has the time to reach over and stir the pot a little. Hehe! You rock Jeff! Seriously, most of us are just recovering from the holidays and the day after New Year's day, you guys are back at it, putting together this phenominal event you've created, I respect the hell outta you guys!

    I don't know how they do it...Having all that work to do in addition to working day jobs,spending time with family,and working on the race car.....I think the first time somebody gave me the least little bit of a hard time about something trivial like a parking spot or allowing their too-new,billet wheeled car into the event,I would probably snap.

    I agree with Marc 100%.

    My hat is off to you guys.

    And Jeff:

    Please don't park me in a cow pasture full of stagnant water and mosquitoes just because of the two dozen or so "eff you's "......

    image.jpeg I need to address this issue. Bilina said to lower the right wheel on wheelie bar an inch. So guess I'll start there?

    Another reason why you are my favorite Panneton.

    I am getting close to the Panneton entry...there may be a stipulation with the entry...Ric will just have to wait and see...

    We were hoping to be entry #56, but I think we may have just missed it by several hours and 200 or 300 entries...

    Your commitment is impressive Saxxon!
