Hot Rods ROLL CALL!! FOR JALOPY SHOWDOWN 2016

Wow, I must have left just before it opened up again. We got there around 8:30-9:00 and left around 11:30. It wasn't pretty but wasn't raining, the vendors were opening the sides of their canopies some. Got a couple things and looked at the cars. The first band, The James 3 Trio- I believe was their name played some good music. Hope everyone had a good time.
Larry and his help had their hands full with the mud for sure, BUT did a great job keeping things rolling smooth.
Looking forward to next year!

 

A wet day at the Showdown is still better than working! Props to all the diehards. Went up Friday evening, cars were starting to come in. Bought a couple of shifter knobs for the collection, because you just can't have too many of those.

 

even with the rain I'm glad it went, talked with a few old friends and made a few new. sorry didn't take many pics......

 

Glad you decided to go Don. I had a good time also and my hat is off to all the guys that drove their rods. We will all be back next year.

If any one knows the name of this group, let me know. They were very good.

 

My hat is off to all of you who did the event. The guys that drove there hotrods are hard core for sure, or part duck. LOL. Glad you guys had a good time.

 

Great pics, Phil. Thanks again for the ride and the entertainment. Good to see you guys and to meet Dave as well. Hope he comes back next time.

 

It was a good time and well worth the drive, just for the museum. The mud blew, but from what I understand, and from what people were saying that were there "its the showdown. It supposed to rain!" I'll be back next year and for the drags in September.

 

Thanks all for the pics. If anyone has any throw them up here for all to see.
That swap looked pretty good but a lot of guys were packing up by the time I got over to really look.

 

Getting ready to wash my car and my son is home washing his. We went down in a group of 30 cars from western Pa. We all had a good time despite the weather. Friday was beautiful and saturday was okay from 9 to about 1:30. It rained almost the whole way home so the cars got washed off pretty good. Thanks Larry, we will all be back next year.

 

Here is some pics from the museum. Really cool stuff in there. If you haven't been definitely worth checking out.

 

Some pictures Gene had taken on Saturday.

 

I just got home. I had to stopped by Md. to see the Grand kids. lol, I had a great weekend. I would like to think Larry and crew for all their hard work. My Knuckledragger friends for putting up with me. And all you die hard Hot Rodder's that drove your cars! I spent a lot of time eating fries and listening to the band.lol The rainiest day at the showdown, still beats a sunny day at your average car show. I would have liked to meet a few more of you though, Maybe next time. And THANKS Jason and wraymen for your great photos!!! Ron...

 

We made the trip from Buffalo NY in the 59 Ford Wagon with my Buddy Joe in his 40 Plymouth Kustom. Had a blast despite the rain. Had a pretty wet ride home in the rain Saturday evening. Plan to make it back next year. Met some cool people and saw some great rides. Hats off to the guys who drove their rides around n that muddy track!

 

A big thanks to Larry and everyone else that make this show possible. Really looking forward to next year. I wont miss this show again, only next year I'll be there on Friday!!

 

Loooooooooooong range forecast calls for 75 degrees and sunshine for next years' Jalopy Showdown.

 

Don't hold your breath!

 

Ha! I'll buy you lunch if you hit that one. I will even spot you 5 degrees, hi/low.

 

X2 on that one, better yet I'll swing by Bayside Bull and bring some sandwiches to the show...been craving that place non stop for 2 weeks!

 

I'll throw in an official CCS shop apron too!

 

I'm hip to that! After the last month and a half, we've seen enough rain for two seasons.

 

You guys know that I'll hold you to it..I look forward to eating roast beef from the Bayside Bull, Burnt Tips from Chubbie's while wearing my cool new apron from Clarke County Speed Shop! Now who's gonna buy me an ice cold Coors Light?

 

..............Just for you, Jason.

 

You are an evil man!!! If it wasnt so far id be there right now. Reguardless of weather ill bring a bag of roast beef and ham ones to the next showdown and probly the drags in Sept!!

 

Oh and I'll have your beer in my old cooler.

 

^^^^Awesome cooler^^^

 

Friends don't let friends drink coors light though.

 

^Heard a Coors drinker tired of A/Busch drinkers' ribbing once say "exactly how does Budwiser get the Clydesdales to piss so exactly in those white & red cans?"

 

I agree but I'll make an exception for Don...then I'll just switch them out for Yeungling or Sam Adams..
