| 7th Annual Ratfink Party
Review
by Tim Shpall
With over 5,000 folks in attendance and
over 200 show, drag cars and motorcycles the show got underway about 3pm.
There was not stop music by the Rhythm Stompers, Luck of the Draw, Hot Rod
Rebels, The Southerners, The Black Shadows, Danny Dean & The Home
Wreckers and The Craze. A Vendor Midway with everything from hats &
shirts to hot rod memorabilia, to Galpin Fords restored Munster Car Dragula! |

| As the show progressed next
up were the Derby Dolls, what's a Derby Doll you ask, well if your old enough to remember Roller Derby (like I am) its back and its back with a
Vengeance! These incredible ladies set a new first not just at LACR but a
first in Drag Racing History, when they all lined up at the starting
line and staged, then the starter hit the switch and the Dolls were off down
the mile they were Great!
As night fell and the show started to wind down it was time for the Flame Thrower contest and first up was the ultimate flame thrower, Wild Bob Vance behind the wheel of the Pick-Your-Part Jet Powered Dually Inferno! |
After a 40 foot flame and a 200 mile per hour pass down the track the contestants pulled out, one by one and did there thing and as the final flame off approached, from out of the crowd came a hulk of a man who proclaimed to Moldy that he wanted to enter the contest. Moldy asked the big man where's your car and he answered I don't have a car I Breath Fire and Moldy said sign him up! The big man whose name is Ton took a drink and with torch in hand proceeded to blow 10 foot flames into the air; needless to say the crowd went wild! Nice job Ton. |
Well there you have it, Girls on Roller Skates, Jets, a guy Breathing Fire, Great Bands, Great Hot Rods and most of all a lot of Great People and if you weren't there you missed some Really Great Shit!
