OK Guys .. August 8 9 10 11 12th .. it's the date for summers last Blast. It's a Car SHOW in Vernon Texas. .. It's the best car show I'v ever been too but then I've not been to but 10 or so. So I'm no excerpt. .
But Thursday Night, so they have a really good 50's music show . Saturday morning there is a burn out contest. 500 to more people viewing . & about 75 cars..
Later the car show at the park maybe 750 cars. 6PM until 10PM will be the cruise. It's a 4lane divided hwy. down through the center of town . Any where from 1100 to 1500 cars will be in the cruise. EXCELLENT ..
tHEY ALLOW Open headers & Your not supposed to spin the tires but there are a lot of talk from the open headers . It's a 7 mile drag. & back at the turn around you can launch somewhat. Cops are setting there with light flashing but almost everyone clears their carb out .
& IF YOUR CAR GETS HOT YOU CAN TURN & MAKE A CIRCLE OUT ON THE INTERSTATE TO cool it off.
... No room left in town so you'll need a motorhome or something to camp in.
You can take your lawn chairs & set almost anywhere on either side of main street . After the sun sets it's cool enough to enjoy.
.... It's a neat show i don't believe I'm taking the Diesel Bronco .. Too much trouble at my age . But me & an old High School Harry are going to go & Drink beer with another old Harry that lives there..
...............
........High School Harry one has a 1954 chevy 454 now 468 .. 9inch Curry & 4speed Rock Cruser . . But He to is 69 & He's has it in a shop now changing it from the race car it was to ...... Ready 454 with P/S . & a AC So the wife will ride in it. & It's getting a Dakota dash in it. & More of a stock motor mounts so it'll not be so harsh .
.. It's Most likely going to get a special paint job . But it may come home 1st to play some. Tonight he was talking of painting it . That 61 Chevy Honduras Moroon ..
...................
.... Any way guys It's a heck of a car show just giving you a heads up.

Just don't come after my critter okay?

No worries of that, there'd be a whole other level of hunting going on if that happened;):p

Sounds like fun, we're talking about going to the street machine nationals in Springfield MO if I can hang around the region long enough. Work projects are a little outta control at the moment.....

.. ok iT'S ABOUT 12:45 AM & I'M hOME. We were to get up & come home Sunday morning but the man I went with . His kids had issue with one of their kids & He's got to got get One of his grand kids in EAST TEXAS tomorrow morning. SO
.........
... BUT MAN THAT WAS A NEAT CAR SHOW. Cool last night about 75 & then saturday morning it up to about 90 durning the Show & Shine.
THERE WAS OVER 900 CARS REGERSTERED .. Rather good with the threat of rain.
& Then Saturday night the Cruise was only about 77* & Lots of neat cars.
My favorite this year was a yellow Willis Pickup . I expect it was a Plastic body but it was sweet. a 57 FORD Farelane GRAY MET.. & A Nasty CHEVY VEGA I'd built one like it many years ago . Mine was a 302 chevy 12.5 pistons 400 turbo . This one was Tubed
& about 10 or 12 meats on the rear. It looked like it could lift the tires easily .. & The kid driving it nailed it about every block it seemed. He was noisy .
neat bunch of rides. Only 3 Broncos .

Odd both of those were Willis .. ..
Then I sent 2 to Pete while I was at supper. & By the time I got home I was sick . So I spent the next couple hours giving my supper from Chilies back.
