:D :D :D :bowtie:

Can't go:( but my buddies will be up there trying to sell some stuff. I'm hoping he can sell some parts for me there. Have fun and let us who can't go know how it went.

I plan on going.

well, I just got a brand new 2.3 megapixel digi cam that takes HUGE pictures.. and I've got 65 shots heh, so I'll try to upload the highlights to a url for a while once I get back.

I'm psyched!! I love the sound of the cars circling for the 1/4

Maybe one day if I'm lucky.. that frame under my name will be there too with all the other c10s

Have fun. If you see a mid 80's C30 rollback with sideboards and a ton of 55-57 car parts that's my buds. Wish I was going. If you need some parts look for the rollback. Later.

RIP
 

well, I'm happy to announce that the show was quite entertaining and will have pictures up shortly.


However...

I'm sorry to say, the driver of the budweiser jetcar passed away in a bad accident about 1/8 of the mile. I do not recall the exact name, however, I do recall the 1st name being Dan. May his family be in everyone's prayers.

One one find the accident ironic, every car in this lane had a problem with their rear driver side tire coming up, but no one found debris. The budwieser car was in this line. About midway the cars backend shifted toward the outside wall and sent it careening at high throttle into the wall of the opposite side of the track. The car then shot from this side (still being at high throttle) across the track again slamming into his own wall and bursting into deep flames.

The ambulance was on the scene as early as possible. As the fire EMS truck arrive, the hose was not hooked correctly, wrapped around the tire of the ambulance, and pulling the house from thre truck, spewing extingishing liquid everywhere.

I'm sorry to say I dont think there was anything they could do. Fortunatley no one in the stands nor any others were hurt in the accident.

As I have said, everyones prayers should go to this man and his family. May he rest in peice.

I'm sorry to be the bringer of bad news, to try and brighten this up (as I have had 150 miles to think about it already and care not to anymore as it is disturbing) I will have pics of everything except the accident up soon.

just been looking, it seems the guys name could have been "Jerry Gannon"

I heard about the death from my friends. His family is in my prayers. Thanks for all the great shots. I really wish I could've been there. My buddies sold some parts for me so new sheetmetal for my blazer is on the way:) . Now I've got to save up to buy some more. I won't miss it next year. Let us know about any more shows/swaps in the area. Thanks, NuBomb.
