I thank YOU guys for all your hard work to give us the opportunity to get back and see the pioneers who started it all in the 50's. They were my heros when I went to my first meet in Aug '59 and remain so today. They helped make a major change in the direction of my life that day and have continued to influence it since, all for the better and for that will always feel blessed.

Looking forward to seeing you, John, and everyone else in less than a couple weeks!

Hot Damn! Nostalgia at its best. Two race cars from the past that are super sweet, enjoyed the pix. Good luck on your new project, may it fly like the wind. ~Sololobo~

 

Have found most of the parts except the lower scatter shield. Reinstalling the floorboards
looked like a project and a half especially under 90* sun.

 

thats why we do these giggs man....man we cant wait to c the iron come out next wknd folks........

 

hi ridge runner, are you going to bring it to Ty Rod sunday too?

 

Thought had crossed my mind but doesn't look like it is in the cards for this year. Think Bearing Burner the owner is tied up with some other life stuff day of TY Rods meet. Streached out time wise myself this year as well. Now that we have it able to roll onto a trailer hopefully this won't be the only time out for the car.

I hear banjo's! I'm just saying!

BADASS... and quick question- how far is the reunion from Ty Rods?

 

hour maybe?

 

half to 3/4 hour ride from Orange to Bolton fairgrounds. Rt. 2 to Rt. 190 to Rt. 117 Left on 117. Fairgrounds is about 10 miles on left in Lancaster,Ma.
I'm planning on being at both events. What a great weekend !!!!

 

Great post let us know how it turns out............






"keep em between the whites"

 

very nice.....

 

may just have to do get up there for both.

 

countdown.....

 

You should chris....That area of MA is real nice too...I lived in the berkshires while in school ---- athol/orange is what I consider the gateway to the berkshires. Its a nice ride down to lancaster too. I will be at both events.

BTW - This is one of my favorite posts of the year (2010).

 

See you at the HAMB meet n' greet !!!!!! Plus I'll be hanging with Ridge Runner and Bearing Burner all day.
