ABOVE: Early morning on the Ranch @favcoast in his 1932 Ford truck, he was not taking hay to the cows. He was getting ready to race this mostly original truck at the Santa Margarita Ranch at RPM Nationals Flathead Drags. I think Frank may have caught the race bug as he was thinking about doing some engine upgrades.ABOVE: Tim McMaster’s dog Rosie can just taste the victory in the air! Tim’s little red roadster went on to win its class!
ABOVE & TOP: This was one of my favorites, the red wheels and grille just popped with the gloss black paint!
ABOVE: This young racer looks like he’s ready to go!
ABOVE: @svm99T had his Dad’s speedster running great. This beautiful car looks like it just rolled out of a museum.
ABOVE: @gcustom’s track nose roadster always blows me away! This sucker looks like it should be running in Bonneville. Is he ever going to paint it? I think not.
ABOVE: There was a large group of photographers in attendance.
