Here are a few more that haven't been posted (I hope).

The red P/U is George Miller's, with a home milled:eek: aluminum OHV head
and other goodies.:cool: Totally bad-a**

Black one with dual rears could smoke all four:eek:

The black faux sport coupe/rdstr was a pretty neat li'l hotrod.:cool: Drove over in the cold from NC.

And a dozen or so NICELY restored cars for the purists. Sorry, only roadster shots; all the closed cars were in the covered parking garage;)

The Black one with 4 rear tires, is Ron Kelly. Anybody know if he had the fastest run on the hill?

Must have been a trick spacer plate and longer studs?

I did, looks the same to me. All of the other signs are there, long spokes, round bead edge. The only difference I see is motorcycle tires on the front and the standard 4.50 by 21" tires on the rear.
