There were 50 fuelers in the cackelfest. Got my glasses blown off twice

Friday night at the Double tree hotel, they started the Chizler with the Greek in the seat, the Kansas John car with Kansas himself in the seat, the Hawaiian funnycar, and the LA Challenger funnycar ALL AT THE SAME TIME in the parking lot.

Thanks so much for sharing..............I attended the 2nd annual CHRR, something like 14 years ago or so, one of the most memorable car events of my lifetime, I surely would recommend it to all at least once.................

Chris, walking thru the "grove" feels like you are literally going back in time. feels great! Half the grove is for cackle cars and race cars and the other half seems like for the rockabilly or rod culture.

Jean, when are ya gonna make it back to the patch again?

Willymon, you would have been in Gasser heaven.

Jay, pics? I'm kicking myself for not going Saturday also.

Dave, sometimes with as many moonbats and "others" we have here, Iowa probably does NOT suck.

Lance, and the kicker is that the 1st one was to be the only time. Now we're up to 15.

Additional notes:
The NE1 category had 49 entries. WOW!
Jeg's gave EVERY NF/C team dozens and dozens and dozens of hats to give out to us fans. Yellow heads everywhere including me. I heard Jeg's is now supporting the category. Awesome. The have all my business from now on.
Thanx to the In & Out manger and staff. The burgers were really good. They handed out lots of free caps, stickers, free-drink coupons, fake tattoos for the kiddies.
Highlight of the season: Romanazzi running 5.98 in the warrior NF/C. The stands went crazy and we were very appreciative!! You should have heard how good and happy the motor sounded. At 60' it sounded good, at 330' it sounded good, at 1000' sounded good. Just awesome.
Also a fantastic 5.99 by the "back in black" Vette/Dennis LaCharite. Crowd loved it!

Nice stuff Paul thanks for sharing.

My uncle just came back last night and said he had a great time. He has been to every CHRR!!! He and some friends left out tuesday and tour some of the speed shops around the area and they go to lunch with Ed Iskendarian every year. Ed took them over to see Carroll Shelby's 5 DGAs (classic airplanes) that he is having restored!!! What a shame Shelby wasnt there though . Last year he somehow got a tour from someone he knows inside of Leno's collection at the Burbank airport I would have KILLED to have seen that!!! Oh well, at least I got to see the pics! Great pics Paul
