Thread: Would You Go to a Car show In The Rain?

Tweet

You guys talked me into to now I'm worn out. I had to clean the white walls can't go out in public with dingy whites. It was a nice drive small show and nice people. I have some picture in no particular order.

In the 80’s Levi had pre washed I’m sure. I worked in jeans and my brand was Levi’s for what I was doing I didn’t need pre washed but that day I wish they had been.

First 4 - 5 hrs was great, rest of the trip was in the rain, that was great also.
Get 'em out and drive 'em.
Don't do no good sittin in the garage.

Were you at the Louisville NSRA when the big flood came? We were lucky the front section was filled when we came in so we had park around back. Our car was just high enough to keep the water at the running boards. Cars all around had water inside. People were pushing the cars trying to get them out of water. One minute the sun was shinning the next the floods came.

glad you went .. when the hot rod power tour came threw my home town in 05 it rained every inch of the way .. i drove 80 miles in it .. they came thru again this year and it rained evey inch of the way // power tour brings rain ..

Funny thing it looked like rain when we were on our way to the show but we didn't get a drop. They called for thunderstorms all day today, I'm glad they were wrong.

Maybe they should call it the hot rod power rain tour.

Ken, you gave me the boost I needed, I was in my pajamas eating my bran flakes while it was raining. I stayed on the site then the sun came out; your encouraging words pushed me out the door. My wife didn't want to go she said it was going to rain all day, I said so what. Like a little whipped pup I came in the dinning room in my under wear and socks. I said "you know I don’t asked for much so lets go." How could a woman refuse a crazy man in his under wear asking such a question. To think some people don't believe we have power. I had to hustle to get the white walls clean. It was worth it.

Thanks Ken, the others had me on the fence and you gave me the push.
I met some car guys that are into racing and building hot rods right in my area.

PS My wife said I lied I do get everything I want.

Yeah I know what your saying. It rained most of the morning, the guys said go, so we did and it didn't rain another drop when they called for thunderstorms all day and into the evening. It was a small show but it was worth going to and the ride was ok.

Your 34 Pickup really looks good. If you have the time you could put some pictures up we all like looking at cars. Mine is not a hot rod but it's the only thing I have now that's running.

Rain doesnt bother me, only downfall is the low turnouts. But, I usually still go. The 68 isn't a polished ride anyway, just knock the dirt off and wipe it down.
