Hot August Nights
« on: August 08, 2019, 01:15:56 AM »
I am at Hot August Nights hobnobbing with Tommy T and his wife.
Not many cars here in Reno yet, hope that improves. But still there are loads of cool ones. Like...

Nice 63 boxtop 406

And this 70 Twister Cobra wasnot an FE (429SCJ) but it was nice and the story of the guy finding his dad's car that his widowed mother had to sell 30 years ago to raise he and he brothers alone was truly inspirational.

We haven't been up there in a couple years so thanks for posting the pictures.
Good to hear a nice story about the 429SCJ.

I had that front spoiler on my 429SCJ car too - you could feel it start to pull the car down over about 90mph.
I also had the rear cyclone-style "wing" on it but I couldn't feel that until over 110mph.
I was young back then...

I used to love to go. I would non-rev into KRNO and stay at Harrah's for 19.00 a night. Couldn't beat it. Then go to Tahoe and Virginia City. My degrees are in history and political sciences so I love anything historical.
Anyway, I enjoyed the variety of vehicles there and the Harrah's collection. I loved the 30's Rolls, Duesenbergs and Packards they had. Not to mention the firearm collection.
Thank you for posting.
