I've been busy with unloading cars --- registering my '33 --- Hobaugh's showed up and MADE me buy this stuff!!


They're having a big "swap meet" (where you swap cash for their stuff...) as part of the show and I'm taking advantage of being here way before the rest of the folks!!

This GULF sign is 6' in diameter and double sided!

The cool part about this is the base and sign are all together....

I'm bringing the family out tomorrow.

.......one problem with the rig you're traveling in. Shipping/hauling excuses don't apply.

Nice scores :thumbsup:

I've had many opportunities to buy stuff like this -- typically -- when the prices are decent (which means HALF of Barrett Jackson....) you don't have a way to get it home or whatever. You're right Sieg.... opportunity and a way to get it home.

However I did just get asked to haul another car back to Nor Cal... so will be back to having 3 in the trailer. Still --- I get to ditch all the cones and timing equipment for USCA.... and all the RideTech display stuff that managed to find it's way in here along with the 48 Hour Camaro. :>)


If you'd like to --- check out the SELLERS property that he's selling.... it's an OMG WOWZER....

Well in case anyone else made it to Babes last night... Sorry.. I didn't.. Ended up over at GrabberGT's trying to get his engine issues straightened out. Since most of you are at the show and I'm working here at the shop just holler at me if a group gets together to head over there I'm 15-20min from Babes.

I just realized Greg Weld is here. I am going to come find you to shake your hand and personally thank you for opening my eyes up on my retirement plans!!

I'm in the WHITE toter home and 3 car stacker trailer parked at the FAR NORTH END of the INSIDE of the track -- down by turn 3 and 4 ---


I'll be in the toter --- or at the auto x --- and if you find the Hobaughs or Bret Voelkel they'll know where I am.


I've left the '33 in the trailer this morning due to the threat of rain and possible "damaging hail" in the area.


Voelkel - The boys at Optima - and Hobaughs all have my phone number so anyone trying to find me can find those guys and get hold of me!

Last night after the show closed -- we thrashed on the Hobaugh Camaro to get a couple more degrees of steering input.... He WAS .75 seconds behind Kyle --- Not anymore! He's the leader now -- so it was really worth all the effort.


EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA

Does anyone know if they will they still have the autocross in the morning tomorrow if it rains? Thanks

I just asked Ed Capen and he said YES if it's NOT raining. They WILL NOT run in the rain...

Raining here now so they're done for the day. :>(
