SORRY WRONG DATE , i THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ONE IN JULY.
CANT MAKE IT TO PITTSBURGH.

 

[Endangered Species]

So far there is 22 Hemi Cars that will be running Saturday and Sunday.

Come on out!

 

[Budnicks]

Take lots of photos guys, for us that are, "way to far away", to make it up there... Sounds like a blast & Thanks in advance...

 

[Endangered Species]

Budnicks, I know you can't come out this year but you really need to make a trip out here for this race and spend another couple of weeks and go to Beaver Springs. It'll be well worth your trip.

Hopefully the car runs good so I'm not thrashing all weekend so I have time to take pictures.

I'll get as many as I can.

 

[Budnicks]

Thanks for the invite, I would love to come out there for a road trip, "Someday, maybe soon", just can't do it right now... Good luck & kick some ***....LOL...

want to thank everyone who attended the Curt George Memorial; Bud's Auto Sales Hemi Showdown at Pittsburgh on Saturday night.

Great racing, great mix of cars, everything from Matt Welker's SS/AH Cuda (absolutely beautiful, and Matt's a great guy), a lot of Hemi NSS racers....nineteen cars made the first round. Found out later that one of the racers was an engineer who was an engine builder for Roush Racing for twenty years. It was absolutely great.

We had a little feed, a great get together...it was fantastic.
Terrific racing, competitive without the egos. Will post some pics and comments later.

One of the absolute highlights is the "generation race" on Father's Day morning....dads vs sons; dads vs daughters; sisters vs brothers etc; all in fun and as a dad it creates memories that I will take to my grave with me. A great touch, and Bob G is responsible for this, was the photog coming through the lanes and taking pics of the generations before the race. I cannot wait to get mine!
