  1. Yea,thanks again guys.But I was just really stupid and I could’ve blown up my house,or killed myself and old man.🤬 with Co2.And to have nothing in the house in the way of any alarms,yea I really have no excuses.Getting a whole new system tomorrow,a friend of a friend,fully licensed and insured of course.And yup,sometimes things just work out…but dam.🚨

    We had a good time. I didn’t bring any models to show but my friend Bill surprised me by putting one out on the primer table.

    i was a bit concerned that these two were parked outside all day! Do we have that reputation?

    Otherwise my crew hit the Imperial Diner as we do every show!  And we had a nice relaxing day talking to folks we know. Exactly what we go to events for!

    i was hoping to meet Ron but the car trouble made him late.

    Well Tom that would’ve been cool.I guess i would’ve seen a couple of your builds.Like i said i did make the show,hat ran into a snag,got there late,and as I said,didn’t even throw a car up on the table.First time i ever did that,since i started going to the show a long time ago,way before they held at the rec center.It was held all over at different halls years ago.But i did pick up some cool kits.Well there’s always the other show held the in March,what is it,the Replicon show?I know it’s a mix,but they have autos too.Hopefully i’ll make that show too.

  3. Hey thanks to all you guys.I really do appreciate it.Yea it’s just crazy how everything happened.I mean we were all in the dining room,which just happened to be right over the burner in our basement.If that thing blew,we would’ve been shot like a rocket into space.😁☄️💫🤦‍♂️Just like that.Its strange,but I think my mother had something to do with it.She was probably looking down,and saying,oh no way,don’t you dare blow up my beautiful house,your father and I built over the years.Lol.Well again thank you all.👍👍Always said how great the people are that use this website.

  4. Ok so to understand what I’m writing about,you have to know that I currently am caring for my 85 yo father,with the onset of Dementia.My mother died in 2015,at which point I moved in with my father to care for him.Well Sat night I had my entire family over for dinner,myself,sister,her kids,my father.My brother his wife and son.We were all eating dinner.Shortly after my nephews and nieces wanted to go in the basement to hang out.That’s when my nephew came up to tell me the pilot light flame on the gas burner was pouring out of the bottom,and burning the front of it.I went down to see,and decided to immediately shut the heat off,and called our gas co to come and look at it.The guy came yesterday(I wrote this at around 2-3AM this morning)Anyway,the repair guy said that the burner,which happens to be around 50 years old,I guess my folks got their moneys worth.He explained that it was completely carbonized,from years and years of soot,not allowing the pilot flame to go out up through the pipe...The guy said that we were all lucky the house didn’t blow up,or that my family,and I didn’t suffer from any Co2 exposure.We also had no working smoke,or Co2 detectors..Anyway,I really blame myself,becuse I should’ve been on top of all that,especially with my father’s health declining..So I’m counting my blessing that I didn’t kill my entire family.🤦‍♂️💥👌.Everyone out there should make sure their heating systems are in good working condition,and to install smoke and Co2 detectors if you don’t have them.Ok that’s all,sheesh.

    Thanks

  5. Hmm,I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about drag racing.But I guess not as knowledgeable as i thought.I never knew Warren Johnson ever raced a Vega..🤔😄Wow,you learn something new all the time.Great job on this pretty rare drag car.Just a bit before my time.Lol..Here’s the real car,as well as a 1/18th scale version,well for a $145 that is.

    Thanks for the pics, Ron!

    CT

    No problem at all..I only wish i had more photos,but like I said my stupid 🙄🤬@?#%*🤦‍♂️car broke down on the way to the show.So that’s about all I took at the show.I did buy a bunch of stuff,but that’s also about it too.😫🤦‍♂️🤬🤷‍♂️ Ah i know I’m whining,(spelling?🤷‍♂️).But once again the LIARS club did it,they held a great show as they have for so many years..Just wish it wasn’t their only show for the year.

    Thanks guys,👍👍

  7. I gotta say,I look forward to this show every year.It did suck that show had been cancelled for the past 3 years or so because of Covid..Well,on my way to the show,my POS car broke down,which caused me to miss about 3/4s of the show.I got there when they were giving out the awards.I was able to buy some stuff,but I was still pretty disappointed about how late I was..Anyway from what I saw,the show was great.Just another excellent job by the LIARS club.Oh well,see ya all next year.
