Nice job on the pictures.  I kind of wish I could have gone to the show.  But i needed to work on the car.  did they fill the arena well?  From the pictures it looked like they had a lot of cars.

yeah, there was another room of cars too (either this is new, or ive totally missed it for years lol)

So im walking around, and im giving this sweet little A roadster a good 5 minute look, and glance inside to check out what guages are in it.  To my surprise, right there on the dash is a HAMB drags badge.  WTF!  So I check out the name of the owner, of course it ended up to be none other than TomH.

Sweet car man!  Nice work

Probably nobody. Anyone that looked that closely at Toms roadster, already knows!

Hey guys we had Overspray's flamed painted helmet on the top of the roadster and on the bill their is H.A.M.B. printed. Maybe that means you look at the car and not the display :D

Antibling, sok ford and Briggs, ya need to intro your self to me. I'm usually at the NDSRA booth wearing a Goodguys shirt. Stop by so I can put a name with a face, and thanks to all of you for the kind words about the A.

Tom, sorry I forgot to call you but that tire I had wouldnt have worked for you.  

What is a price you would be willing to pay for a new set of Bias Ply tires and what size are you looking for?  I think I can get some 16"ers new for around $50 a piece but they are 8 ply tires.

Hey if you can get 7.50 X 16" for $50.00 a piece that would be a good price. Let me see what I decide to do and I'll get back to you.

Would be nice if they were 4 or 6 ply, but I understand they are truck tires.

Thanks.
