Port City Rumble

Rolled to Wilmington on Friday to meet up at Potter's house for the Pre-Rumble Party.   Was delayed a couple hours due to some issues on 40.  Oh well...it sucks I missed the bash!!  The Rumble on Saturday had a weak turn-out this year.....only about 40 cars....maybe it was because the show was split.  Hopefully they work things out for next year!!!  Even the creeper race only had (3) entries......and of course....BONESTOCK (slightly modified) took first place...for the 2d year in a row!!

Tom's 33 Roadster

I went with my buddy Tom today to drop off his fresh 283 SBC for his 33 Roadster.  The chassis was just sprayed a couple days ago.....body will be next in the booth.  As you can see, Tom didn't cut any corners with this chassis and rear-end.  Nothing like a sick Quick-change!!!!

 

Butcher Chop War Run

Saturday Sep 29th
Butcher Chop put on a killer ride from Chatham, Va to Bedford, Va  (D-Day War Memorial)  Saturday morning started out gloomy...riding solo from Roanoke to Chatham (70 miles)

The journey started with some dark clouds....and about 15 minutes into the ride....the rain started to come down...hard.  I pulled into the first gas station....and texted Josh with my current situation.  I did a little rain dance...the rain magically let up...so I conitnued the journey south.   After about another hour or so, I arrived at the Butcher Chop compound.  This was the scene prior to our departure.

Well, after only hanging out for a few minutes...getting my tickets and donating money to the cause....it was time to head out!!! South bound and down!!! 

ShowClass was rollin in the rear with the chase vic

After a couple break downs and fuel stops.........we made it!!  D-Day Memorial Bedford, Va

Friday Night @ TriCo......Born Free pre-party.

Born Free 4.....we made it!!! It was packed...over 10,000 people.

   We planned to leave Sunday morning..the day after the show...but someone got the "bright idea" of leaving right after the show....so we departed at around 8:30pm heading back east!!!! Stopped at the Cadillac Ranch in Texas on the way....

We finally made it back to Wilmington around 6:30pm Monday night!!!  crazy right???  After we off-loaded the bikes...I had another 5 hr ride to Roanoke to complete the trip.  One word for this journey...INTENSE!!!  But the thing is.....I'd do it all over again in a HEARTBEAT!!!!!
