Well the 1 half of the year went zipping by as they say and
here it is July already. Never fear though, that doesn’t mean things
are slowing down for you Gearheads. When you get done looking at
this issue you’ll wonder how you’re gonna take it all in!!!
Let’s get to it….
IMPORTANT STUFF!!! Please make a note and change the e-mail
address for the GEARHEAD GAZZETTE. Our new address is:
[email protected]. You can start using it now. I will start
migrating all your email addresses to the new email. I will leave the
aol.com address active for a while just to catch things in case you
forget to change the address.
July 10th is West Tennessee NSRA Appreciation day. Make sure
you head on over and say hey to Al Morton for us when you get there.
Check out all the important stuff in the EVENTS section.
For all you FACEBOOK types, you can follow along with the
Gearhead Gazzette on Facebook now. Just search for it as
GEARHEAD GAZZETTE.
In the Dept of Corrections, The SOMERNITES Power Cruise
that is coming up very soon, they do not provide you a Free Lunch.
Some info I had said they would, but the SOMERNITE folks didn’t
want anyone getting mad or upset when they didn’t get it when they
got there. Its still gonna be tons of fun. Check it out.
NEWS FLASH!!! Terry “Mr Chevy & Mr Pontiac” hisself is
rumored to be switching brand loyalty. He was seen recently cruising
in a 1940 Ford Sedan with an “ear to ear” grin on his face. Rumor has
it there will be a big auction soon to get rid of all the GM parts so he
can stock up on the Blue Oval stuff.
Check out the GARAGE / SHOP Scene section for some cool
photos that have been sent in recently. Also if you head over to the
Gazzette website (www.gearheadgazzette.com), you can check out
the new albums posted in the Gallery section. Give then a minute or so
to load, depending on your server speed, as these are high resolution
pictures. Check out the different function on the viewer, making it
easier for you to see the pic’s and download them if you want.
For all you Vintage & Nostalgia lovers, you’re gonna want to
check out the Nostalgia Dragstalgia event that is going to be held at
the I-40 Dragway in Crossville Tn. How big will it be?? That all
depends if you go there. Should be a cool event as “Scooter” and the
gang at BOTH BARREL PROMOTIONS are working hard to make it a
huge success.
Speaking of Show success, the POOR BOYS Car Club is
celebrating their 25th Anniversary show this year. It happens later
this month in Waverly Tn. Stop in and wish them a Happy Birthday
and stay for the show….you’ll be glad you did.
Some of the Gearheads took the short ride up to Bowling
Green for the HOT ROD POWER TOUR stopover. It was pretty slick
having it at the airport out on the runway. My estimation is there
were at least 800 cars at the event plus the spectators. A whole host
of vendors were set up too. Remember that this is a traveling road
show too. These vendors closed up at 5pm so they could hit the road
ahead of the Power Tour participants, and get set up at the next
stop. Some very cool cars on the tour. Check out the Sport Ute’s
from Australia that were there, This is the car that GM was going to
bring to the US as a Pontiac “El Camino Style” vehicle. GM never did.
What a mistake. These guys were swamped answering questions.
People were digging the cars to say the least, That’s what makes
Power Tour so cool. Check out the pictures at the website.
Even though it was HOT!!!! There was a very cool vibe at the
NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in June. Beech Bend Raceway is such a cool
place to hold this type of event. Ya gotta love all the old front engine
dragsters, funny cars, gassers and Super Stock cars. Mix in Hot Rods
and customs and you have a really Bitchin Weekend. Throw in Chris
“the Greek” Karamaseines firing up his “CHIZZLER” dragster at the
Host Hotel under the awning….It doesn’t get much better if you ask
me. Missed this year’s version? Plan on being there next year. Check
out the pics on the website for this event also.
Lights…Action..Camera and a whole lot of makeup!!! Keep
your eye on the POWERBLOCK TV show on the weekend of Aug 21 &
22nd. Paul Shauck of HOT RODS & THREADS FULL SERVICE HOT
ROD SHOP had his BADAZZ ‘33 FORD COUPE on the set getting
filmed. While the car was the star, we hear Paul had his first TV
speaking part. Can you say DAYTIME EMMY Nomination….
We want to express our condolences to Gary Falls and his
family on the recent loss of their son and sibling. You are in our
thoughts and prayers.
Speaking of prayers, keep our good friend Brad Thomas in
yours as he heads into surgery on July 22nd. Brad is fighting the Big
“C”. Everything is looking good so far for nothing but success. It
doesn’t hurt to have a few extra prayers for his full recovery. We
have you n our thoughts and prayers Brad!!!
That’s going to wrap this column up for the month….
And remember to tell em’ ya saw it in the GEARHEAD
GAZZETTE!!!

SATURDAY MORNING CRUISE IN’s:
To all classic car fans……
I have been repeatedly asked when are we going to start up the Franklin area Cars & Coffee for 2010? My suggestion is to
nd
th
come out for coffee twice a month, the 2 Saturday & 4 Saturday of each month starting in March. That way if you can’t make it one
Saturday you don’t have to wait an entire month before there is another one. To that end I have formulated the following calendar for
2010.
I thought it would be advisable to get the schedule out so people could mark their calendars and make plans to attend.
Please forward the schedule to other Classic Car Fans that are not on the list.
