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.
