AA/FA, T/F, and now F/C at Dragfest 2009? I was gonna take a pass this time around, but maybe not? Good gawd! Pinups, hot rods, and mayhem, it's gonna be a madhouse at Famoso in May.

Anybody got info on who's comin' in T/F and F/C? The altereds were outstanding last year.

Thanx for the info.

Saturday will be rockin' at Famoso.

 

[.]

woo hoo!
I hope some good lookin' girls show up.

Planning on being there Saturday.

 

[Ugly one]

Paul,
You'll need an extra set of batteries if it's anything like last years.
The weather is sure going to cooperate with plenty of sun. (Fri 84/Sat 80/Sun 82)
If you get a chance stop by the trailer and say HI......(ice chest is always full and open for fellow Maters)

If Saturday wasn't the Kentucky Derby ... I would drive down.

Have fun guys.

 

[kegs]

It looks like we (War Eagle) won't be there and I spoke to Stannard yesterday and The Beach City Corvette won't either.
On the Altered side of things I heard Blue Blazer isn't going to make it but the Maroney guys from AZ. are replacing them.

 

[.]

... I would drive down.

October. Hot rod reunion. Be there.

 

[.]

It was a good time.
Hadn't been to this event before, but it seemed like the rod kulture crowd didn't show up for their own event.

The event's organizers could make some adjustments to fine tune and refine the schedule. The potential for a great time is there.

Kevin, I stopped by your trailer a couple of times, but you were busy with customers. I saw lots of your shirts throughout the stands!

I took limited pics. Here are some.

karting at Famoso! That's a 1st.

The Cheetah crew.... watching pro qualifying on the flatscreen

We were given a drive-in movie and live music from two different bands

the projector

 

[.]

they were showing "The Eliminators" which is old footage from Indy.
Small problem was that there was no audio for the movie, so they played Red hot chili peppers on the loudspeakers.
Then, the band started playing (the band was good - they were surf-rockabilly music)
