Here's a funny O/T note.
On Saturday a friend and I took the UNIMOG to the annual Off-Road show in Pomona. I went to the back gate at the opening time, just to park in the
seldom-used Public lot. It is shaded and a closer lot than the one everybody uses.
Anyway, as we pulled in, the girl at the gate burst out a laugh and said " WOW, I love it- you're an exhibition vehicle, obviously ! He'll check you in..." Pointing to the next gate. Ok,
So I went with it. At the second gate, the guy says " So you obviously know where you are going, right ?" I said "YEP" and wound up parking in the display area. It's not like I B.S.ed
my way in, the truck did all the talking, and I never dreamed they'd shoo me right through-
I was just looking to pay my money and park....a nice break that just rolled in .
Whenever we came out to dump stuff into the truck, it was surrounded by guys. It was pretty funny. In the midst of zillions of dollars worth of hardware....Million$ and Million$ heck, 4 Trophy Trucks equals million$...
guys were saying that this (my unwashed, un-detailed) Truck was the best thing they had seen all day. Pretty funny.

And that Black Lincoln Continental was Rockin' - Literally. A nice sound system.
Not the best photos- there were more race trucks than shown...lots of Jeeps. Lots. But some really nice stuff. Hutchinson Wheels didn't make it this year. Too Bad, it is always nice to shoot the breeze with the guy. ROUSH-YATES had a very nice "dirt car"
small block Windsor - 865-880 HP, 8500 RPM redline, all day long. Just looked beautiful.
Seems like the photographer was hooked on some of the junkier bits of hardware and didn't take to the actual race hardware, but at least he posted stuff.
I've got to clean my pig up.
