2011 Hot Rod Power Tour Day 3 - Montgomery Motorsports Park (Warning Many Pics)

[RusTy/SE]

Man I felt sorry for those folks not used to those four magic words when it comes to summer in Alabama, "dome of high pressure". Think of a crockpot when the lid is placed on it and you'll have an idea of the southeast for the last, as well as the next, several days

It's 98 degrees right now; the following pics were taken between twelve thirty and three this afternoon

I did overhear one lady (as she was retrieving some items from the trunk of a new Camaro) say "it was in the mid-fortys when I left last week".


Some nice personal touches on this 74 Challenger






A true 68 340 Formula S convertible; auto, a/c, tan interior

A buddy from the Mobile area trailered his Barracuda





Just missed this fellow arriving; got a few shots after it was parked






Nice 65 Dodge with a 6.1 Hemi

Everything's been done to 67-69 Camaros; imo this one had just the right touches and I told the owner so. Silver with gray hood stripes and Cragar SS wheels.

You had a great day Russ.   

I had forgotten what an 80's Sunbird looked like. I thought it was an import.

The owner said this mostly original 62 Ford was a former North Georgia Sheriff 406 Tri-Power 3 speed (now 4 speed) stick car

I spoke to these two fellows after they parked. They had driven to Florida from Ontario (as in Canada) and were making their way back. The 70 Charger is a 318 non air car.

you must have been leaving at the same time as we were because we met the lime green challenger coming in. Actually he is a buddy of mine that lives a few miles north of me. We were traveling in an '07 Charger Daytona Plum Crazy this year. My '74 had charging issues and I didn't want to chance it.
