Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

Just mentioning that Maple Grace Dragway in Mohnton, Pa (near Reading) has their "old time drags" event this Sat. Gates open at 11. Eliminations at 4pm, so they'll be running in the evening. When's the last time you saw a front engine dragster run in the dark? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
I'll be bringing my unrestored anniversary gold '63 Impala for display. Should be a LOT of really neat cars there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Just thought I'd mention it for all the old farts out there. .....Wait a minute, I'm talking about myself!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

Maybe Cumby can get there....

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

I don't think he'll be able to make it.

We saw that at Bowling Green. Brings back lots of memories from our strip since our main venue was Tuesday night racing. Even though the HP on those old cars are limited by fuel pumps, they still put on a Helluva show. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Verne, was your car at the first NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in BG? I swear there was one there just like you describe.

And BTW, if being around during the Musclecar Heyday and witnessing these things during their original glory makes me an Ol' Fart, then I'll wear the title PROUDLY! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gifhttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gifhttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

I've actually never been to Bowling Green. I did attend the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in '98 when it was in Columbus, OH, but I drove the '62 '09 car out there for that.

The old '62 never looked better! Wait a minute.....is there a car in that picture???

The last time I had the gold '63 out in public was a few years ago in Bldg T at the GM Nats at Carlisle. There's an old buried thread on it here somewhere. But in '98 I also drove that car out to Indy for a convention.

From one old fart to another.......and GLAD of it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Mmmmmmmm....sweet Linda. . Like fine wine she just seems to improve w/ age.....yummmmmm! .
Is that tow mount tabs on the front of the '62 Vern....and Linda's thong carelessly tossed aside?? .

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

Yes to the tow tabs...............No to the thong

And I'm SURE about that!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Looks like everything's already loaded up. We'll just hook a truck to the garage and bring the whole da#ned shootin' match! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I can relate to a 'packed' garage. The biggest difference is, your stuff is actually WORTH SOMETHING! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

Thats what it will take. I have to finish up the Dick Harrell tribute 64 Belair so I can move stuff around.

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

I like that picture Bob. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

"Dick Harrell tribute 64 Belair "?????????

I hope no one thinks you're serious. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

No worries Verne..it's just vinyl letters...I won't paint anything on it..give something for the people at the local cruises something to think about ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Geezers at the Grove this Sat.
 

Pardon me for pointing this out but...................doesn't the car actually have to be on the road first?????????
I think you may have one OR two things to do before making your vinyl letter plans...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif





There were 2 ol' geezers at the Grove with their Anniversary Gold Impalas. We came back from the pits late and Ronnie Evans' '62 had a "Best of Show" plaque on the front seat. The car still has the plastic seat covers on it.

The track was slick, as the Grove usually is, but there were some good runs. There were a few front engine AA/FD there that put on quite a show. The HemiHunter was there and made one pass, but left some oil at the finish line. That was disappointing to see those good guys on a budget have bad luck. That car carved out a major place in history with a MKIV trouncing many hemis in it's day! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif I don't know anyone who didn't route for that rail whenever it came out. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
