Torque Fest 2011 Pics - 497 of 'em!

[Sam_Fear]

I dumped the blurry, thumb, and just plain bad shots, other than that, these are all the raw shots I took. Keep in mind, a lot of time I go into shotgun mode and just start clicking away hoping one hits. The ones at the beginning and a point in the middle are from the VIP parking area - like the scary (no driveshaft shield or floor) giant rat.

If you are speaking of the white on laying frame it was 64 Toyota with a lt1 under the hood...shhhhh it was f.I. it was body dropped and bagged.
Also the one that had no wheels and was being towed with just the engine was actually a camper in back and the engine was a grill. Can any one I.d that one for me?

Judging from the body lines it looks to me like a '41-46 Chevy

Great pics Sam, just looked at the teasers for now and will check out the link tonight Love that green scalloped full custom, was it a '53-54 Chevy ??

 

[PORTnPOLISH]

Should I add my pics here or make anudder thread? I dont have that many...less then 50...and a video of the pink flame shooter.

Checked out the photo bucket link, lots of great pics, thanks for putin them on, like the shot you attached with the tree growing through the bumper, reminded me of a few finds that required logging as the first step of retrieval.

I sure wish the grass was green up here, kind of forgot how nice that looks, still got a bit of snow and nothing green yet, probabaly a couple weeks away from that yet.

 

[chipper]

nice pics thanks for taken me to the show I owe ya one..Chip. and ya just gotta dig the camper even got it's own grill

 

[busch]

Sam great pics,like the black VOODOO one with rider holding parts driving back after crashing getting stuck on tires on the track classic

The white Toyota looked out of place but it seemed to fit with the Chevy power stuffed under the hood to each his own

 

[PORTnPOLISH]

I thought it was a great show to be honest......I didn't have enough time in one day....next time ill be out all weekend. I liked the Toyota because he had balls driving up to enter it lol. I'm still not sure what traditional is after seeing some of the cars in the gate compared to cars not in the gate?

 

[Sam_Fear]

Post up your pics PnP! The Toyota guy popped up his hood for me - Everybody around dropped their jaws. I didn't think you could have stuffed that under there.

I told him he should crack the hood with a sign that said "take a peek".

Also busted a couple guys feather dusting...

When we first got there, we went through the VIP and I nailed down why every car wasn't let in, but by the end of Sat. I was kinda confused as why a few I saw were let in and others weren't. The website had very specific rules this year. Lax at the gate maybe, or with a club? I wasn't too concerned about it, it was all good stuff!

Oh, the pic of the Voodoo Kings coming off the track.... I practically had to run to catch it to get that pic. The driver was still grinning all the way!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Oh... I was disappointed this one got roadster-ized. I loved this one as a coupe.

 

[earthman]

Wow! Thanks for sharing.You would have knocked 'em dead if you had brought the Oldsasaurus Sam.

 

[Gastrick]

Awesome coverage SF, thanks. I see the Back Seat Betty made an appearance. I agree with you, the 239 car looked cooler as a coopay.

 

[cycledog]

I like to go to shows. Thanks for taking me along. Great Pics.

 

[Bonehead]

Great show coverage, I am glad to see the show season picking up. Thanks, Sam!

 

[MikeR]

Terrific shots Sam, thanks for sharing them with us. Looks like a great show.

Thanks for posting all those shots. I'd love to drive one of mine to the show but the weather is so unpredictable this time of year.
