A little late on this report........................We made it to the Goodguys Nationals fine, had a good trip. We were awarded the "Deuce Doins" pick there and also picked up a "Top Choice" award at Right Stuff's open house. Two Goodguys picks in two shows....Cool!!
On the way we toured St Louis auto Museum, the St Louis arch, Old Dog street rod shop (free lunch there), Ride Tech in Jasper IN (Had a free feast there) they always put on a great food spread. Brookville roadsters (with free lunch) Woodyz shops, both of them. It was , as always a great trip. We had so much fun each night I did not have time to blog...sorry.
We arrived home on Tuesday afternoon, a total of 2600 miles.
Last Saturday we drove the "Fine Wine" Buick to the "Krome n Kandy" show at Treasure Island Casino in Hastings. A nice drive there. Arrived about 9 ish. A wonderful show, beautiful grounds, Wings had his music show, a live band, food tent with nice priced food, several vendors selling their wares. I did expect a few more cars, there was about 100 total. Iowa, Illinois, a feature car from Oregon ( a former AMBR contender) you locals that did not go missed a great show. I sure hope they do it again next year. We won the "Best traditional inspired Custom" award...a way cool hand made trophy. We were quite honored to win that.
News flash.......................Tuesday I leave for the NSRA Nationals in Louisville, KY. I know I said I would never go back, but I am driving there in the RPU, meeting my Deuce Buddy Dave from Des Moines there, he will enter my car in his name, pay the entry fee and give me a button to get in....so I am not supporting the event, just attending. Thats my story!!
We were going to meet in Des Moines and drive his 56 Chevy wagon but he purchased a NICE deuce tudor body in Detroit and has to pick it up with his truck and trailer, also taking Sandy his wife along to visit son Kevin in Detroit and then drive to L/ville drop Sandy off at daughters house and then meet me at the show. It all still works. I will just be driving alone to and from L/ville...no problem.
I plan to leave Saturday AM and head to Des Moines. I want to meet the "Rolling Bones Hot Rod Circus" there Sunday night at the motel to drink beer and tell lies. They are on the way to Bonneville...I hope I have enough will power to come home Monday and not follow them to Bonneville!!
Stay tuned...I promise to blog and post pictures of the trip...its gonna be fun !! (they all are)
