Jairus Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 My son-in-law and slot racing racing partner Jeremy Sullivan drove his 1935 pickup "Rat Rod" today in a very cool poker run. I navigated as best I could... but mostly just filled the right seat. This was our ride. Seeing the world pass in an open car is completely different... not to mention seeing the wheels turning and hearing the rap of the pipes! It was sooooo cool! The Poker Run was mostly following directions on three sheets of paper, collecting and doing events at checkpoints and noting specific things at the various locations/stops. Including lunch, which was great! At the end of the run awards were given to a tired bunch for correct answers and winners of various events. All of it was just for fun but.... the whole darned day was fun and I didn't need a trophy to tell me that! Jeremy's car was the second oldest with a 1927 T the oldest. The most recent ended up being a mid 90's Viper when the owner of the '66 Vette had engine problems and limped home to get his "back-up" car. About three cars couldn't make the whole cruise which ended up being about 40 some odd miles in total. Some cars had serious overheating problems... mostly due to putting TOO DARNED BIG ENGINES where they don't belong! Jerry Kruger tossed out a perfectly good 302 to plant this 428 C.J. in it's place... only to suffer overheating at every stop light. Overall a great summer day and a great time had by all! More pictures on my Fotki here including nearly all the cars that took part.
