Gore wrote in 1992 that the single most critical thing to remove from this planet is (flatheads, bangers, hemis, small and large block chevys...all of them) internal combustion engines.. He does not care about moderation. He does not care about eventual availability of cleaner burning fuels....he wants the I.C. Engine outahere. If he is elected there will be no honeymoon. Your experience as a car guy will be certainly and expediently impacted.

There are about two hundred other reasons I would suggest you vote otherwise, but this forum will only be used to express concepts which relate to our cars so..........that's enough.

HOT ROD REUNION

Everybody walks around with an easy gait, sampling the eye-candy and the sound track ripping away in front of the stands. There is a sampling of trad cars, and trad people; there are other people there, too.

It feels like it must’ve felt in the Smoker’s days. It looks that way and sounds that way, and Friday is the day because it is all goin’ on, the crowd is small compared to Saturday and Sunday and WHOA! Ya’d like t’ see it in black and white (like those cover shots on October Hop Up).

LETTER FROM A GALOOT

Dear Mark:

It’s about old IRON. How about going over the Ridge Route at 3:00 A.M. from Hanford in my ‘32 5 window coupe an’ getting stuck behind and old GMC Diesel truck because the Ridge was only two lanes and the ‘32 was steaming because good ol’ "Square" had solid hood panels and the ‘39 flattie was getting very warm with it’s Weber 7-3 cam and using low gear most of the way! (3.27 gear in the quickie for the Russetta Meet at El Mirage in 1947 U-NO!!) Has it really been ‘52 years ago?!

Sincerely,

"Square"
