Is it just me or does anyone else think that truck looks about 7/8 scale behind larry?
Great job and thanks as usual for the reporting from both of you. Good luck.

Very Nice Pics... Especially the Hemi cars. Thanks.

Good luck to the Hopkins boys...happy hour late tonite after going some rounds!

Great pictures Arvid.
Whose is that trailer that says father and son alky dragster champions?

Larry's truck looks like an S10 and the Wally looks tiny. Kind of suspecting he must be a big dude. So maybe the Candies family aren't midgets in the earlier pictures.

Tom, I'm just shy of 6'-2" tall, and my friend Larry Hill is somewhere around a foot taller than I am.

Larry Hill · 08-30-2014, 10:26 PM

Naw Allan, he's not that tall==just 5' 20"!

Well the Cowboy Cadillac's weekend is over. Stumbled leaving and couldn't run the number. We are still going to be here for a while tho, so more tomorrow. It has been a long day!

Thanks to everyone for posting pics and updates.

I had a great time taking the pics, thanks for the compliments.

Larry and Patsy, thanks for the invitation, had to head back home.

That trailer is recalling the careers of Jerry Gwynn and son Darrell Gwynn, very striking and nicely done.

So then it's NHRA's trailer and not a racer? Pretty cool idea.

If SS/AH was a car show and not a race it'd still be worth going to see.
