Last year I hauled my running chassis to the thrashing bee.

This year I drove the little lady to the thrashing bee in my assembled 26 roadster. There were quite a few T's there and I ran in the balloon race and won. In the race you start at the end of the strip, race to the balloon box, stop, turn off engine, get a balloon, hand crank engine and race to the end or the strip.

Way to go Jim!

By the way, is that white T a wide track? The fenders look HUGE.

Ken,
No wide track, the really wide angle 14mm lens just distorts a little on the edges. I could fix it in Photoshop but did not.

Jim

Looks like a great time.
Nice looking T, Jim...there's just too much going on this time of year to hit 'em all!

I believe Jim had the best looking T there. I didn't get to stay for the balloon race but they are sure fun to watch and Jim must have the '26 tuned to a "T" to beat the other guys that were there and have been doing the race for a number of years.
Way to go Jim!

No fair, someone edited the title, still looks like a fun event though.
