HAMB Drags 2010

[hkestes41]

Just got back from the HAMB Drags last night. It was a great time and had the pleasure of meeting Bob's lovely wife.

The only issues were the heat, drove home the 360 miles on Sunday in 100+ degree weather, in fact it was 106 when I got home. The other issue was about 2 1/2 hours into the trip home I heard a loud squeel coming from the left front. Luckily I was in Pryor, OK at the time and found a closed gas station to pull under the canopy for shade.

Pulled the front left wheel and found a disentegrated outer front wheel bearing. Walked a couple of blocks to the Autozone and since I had switched to Charlie's disc brake kit, I was able to get a new Volare bearing. About an hour or so later I was back on the road.

Anyway here is a link to my photos from the weekend including several Mopars. http://tornadowarning.smugmug.com/Cars/HAMB-Drags-2010/13464041_PJFxr#980237751_AyYUe

Thanks for the pictures, Kirk.

Got to chat with him for a little while on Friday night.

(Mary Ann went out to the Holiday Inn with me....we drove thru and

looked at cars, then listened to the first of two bands they had.)

Sorry to hear you had a problem on the way home, but glad you were

able to fix it handily. Guess that's one of the things that makes these

old cars interesting.

Here's a link to some pics I took in the parking lot.

I notice that others must have showed up on Saturday....I did not

go to the drag strip due to having other things to do.

Greg.....try this one and see if it works better or not.

I guess they always work for me since I'm a participating member

of the snapfish site.
