    Ahhh......Vegas!!!

     



    This weekend there are two kinds of car stuff going on here.............sort of a weird mix;

    NHRA

    Viva Las Vegas

    I don't expect a lot of crossover...........

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob, there is a THIRD show........Rat City Ruckus. You won't want to miss that one, I know you love rat rods. Word is that Viva has banned certain cars this year, so there may be a spillover of those to the Ruckus show.

    How will you possibly get all of these in with such a short amount of time !

    Suspension and exhaust should be completed today kenny, but we're still a ways from done.

    Rat City Ruckus is a grundge band out of White Center (community within greater Seattle), damn rat rodders can't even be original about their naming! I saw their "event" web page, but it had nothing on it other than "Coming Soon".

    He got burned real bad sometime around 1970 and had to quit. I guess he's still alive somewhere in Southern Cali.

    Yeah, Brown is the real deal, if he can keep a good car under himself just imagine how good he'll be with some experience!
