More photos.

Bobby Green's Old Crow lakester.

A deuce phaeton with a few kool features like the asymmetrical fog light and the tonneau cover, the Buick portholes and the headlights that came from..????

The Creel and Buck coupe...the only time I've ever seen it parked in such a way...I usually see it at the starting line then it seems to go away and hide.  Maybe it's just me...I dunno.

A bit of a wait at the fuel trailer.  The didn't open until 3 pm and there were just a coupla folks waitin for 'em.

Yeah,,, Johnny's  Roadster looks good out on the salt,,, last time he was at Maxton he craked his block and was finished for last season,,, Man looks like he has done a good job on the cahe upgrade.. I think he was adding more HP to the motor and switching transmissions to.

If anyone out there see;s him,, Tell him big Charles says great job, and go fast..be safe to all

As I was posting these a slick APS-BF 650 trailered past and Nancy took a photo.  I'll put it up here next issue.  You gotta see this -- looks like it came off a movie set.

SSS - You gave us the teaser for the Hollywood 650....can you find that picture for us when you get a few minutes?

Try these.  I hear they've had some issues in inspection and are looking for someone to help with cutting off the top part of the tail (that comes up over the rider's hiney) and also need to make is less tall (need to cut an inch or so off the top).  That's Jason McVicar trying it on for size.

I dunno if Jason seriously asked if they'd like him to ride -- but he did joke about it, then went on to say that he was too big to fit into the custom seat.

Drivers meeting at 8 in the morning.  And talk about nice weather -- today the DA reached a stratospheric 4800'.  Gee, whiz -- how we gonna deal with that?

I had a DA of 4900 at WOS. I think that run was my top speed of the meet.

Haven't seen 'em.  I think they hurt that 299" Duttweiler motor worse than they originally thought.

But when driving back in to Bendover, I saw the BUB trailer in the Montego Bay (I think) parking lot.  I wonder if they brought it out for show or what?  I spose we'll find out tomorrow.
