Hot Rods and Harleys plus 4X4s 2011


Hot Rods and Harleys + 4 x 4s
Once again, on July 4, 2011 my wife Gail and I will be bringing you this car show. There are some changes this year.

First
The well-known high-performance guru, Mr. Jim Green of Jim Greens Performance Center will be in the parade. Instrumental in the street-rod and drag racing world for over forty years; his talents helped him win the 1968 NHRA World Championship, and the 1973 NHRA Funny Car World Championship and in 2005, he was named to the NHRA Division 6 Hall of Fame

At this years show he has also entered some hot rods of his own creation. Jim Greens Performance Center recently relocated to the nearby city of Monroe, Washington.

Rumor is that Mr. Green may demonstrate what three 604-cid Ford Boss 429 blown funny car engines sound like; so be ready. There will be warnings as we count down to ignition. This will happen after the parade and car show audience has had their chance to look at the infamous shotgun!

Second
I am announcing the introduction of a four-wheel-drive division with six classes to the 2011’ show. It seems to me that the time is long overdue for the inclusion of these talented local 4X4 builders. To have all this talent come together in one place will be awesome.

We are working on an RTI as a part of the H&H show. Bragging about the articulation abilities of an off-road vehicle comes down to “YaY” or “Nay” with this event.

Third
Six classes have been properly renamed. The classes in this division definitely mean Harley Davidson. These awards are for best in class.

With the introduction of the H&H Ladies pinup posters, which began in May, sponsorship has really grown. The H&H Ladies, who appear on these posters, will be at the show, and in the grand parade atop the Shotgun. The Ladies will be available for photos with you and your entry. Your generous donations from the photos will go to the Colon Cancer Alliance.

2011's main sponsor is Pete's Club Grill. He chose to sponsor H&H, and be involved as long as his strength would last. I admire him and his wife Karen for what they are doing, considering the circumstances. We will miss Don, but the show will go on as we all intended.
