Lotsa waay cool old speed parts for sale in the swap meet area...

In fact, I found a set of Crane Cams/Ford Motorsport '93 Cobra 1.72 Roller Rockers.... picked em up for $40!!!!

If you havent gone yet... GO!:bigthumb

Got rear ended in the old ladies Catera by some dumb fuck in a Camaro when I was sitting in front of Gill and Mikes with my turn signal on waiting to park. I was pretty pissed off about that. Moron tried telling me he had it in Neutral when he pushed her car about 2 feet after initial contact. Then he tried telling me "well the car has four wheel disc brakes but its hard to stop 800hp.":rolleyes: I was sooo close to bringing the Stang too. Im VERY glad I didnt.

Other than that, there were some very nice cars there and I had a good time. Buddy of mine's dad has his 69 Z28 that I detailed up there too so I had to check that out. This is the only good pic I got of it.

That's Jack's dad's car isn't it Chris? Pretty sharp!

How bad is the Cadillac?

Yeah thats the one. It's up for sale too.

The Caddy only suffered some paint damage and a small crease in the bumper. Got really lucky it didnt do much more.

The Pumkin Run was a great time once again. The only exception being the retards driving their clapped out rust bucket open header cars around stiring up dust.

:lol:

Dont get me wrong i love most of them, I just hate stupid people.
Most of the cars over there that are running around with open headers couldn't click of a 13 sec pass!

well, If you look at how their cars are built I'd think they had even less! :lol:

Dont forget about the gear drive either. I think everone of those cars over there has a damn gear drive on it. I guess that's the recipe for a badass muscle car. A 350SBC, big rear tires, open headers, and a gear drive.

You just gave away the secret to building a 69 and up Nova... The more tire hanging out of the quarter the faster it goes.

wow.

Some Notables from this year:

My buddy pope's 2 Tri-Five Chevy Gassers, right by the corner in the front by the barn. 55 and 56 gassers, one with a 468/4speed, the other a 327/4spd. VERY NEAT.

The yellow 64-66 El-Camino, that thing sounded NASTY, I don't like those Crucks, but that thing was sick.

The Red Willy's Gasser, open headers sounded fucking nasty.

The guy who looked as if he had pulled this ex-drag car 64-65 Chevelle fresh out of the barn last week, and causing a traffic jam, due to the car being timed so ridiculous that the car had no vacuum available to make the brakes function, so he timed the car right there lol. Sounded retarded before the timing change, sounded ok afterwards.

When I was still in High school, this weekend was all I thought about from the time that I would start after summer was over.

All in all, a good time.
