Farmer Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Was a great 10th Anniversary Canby. Congrats to all the winners and especially to Rick. You got yourself an awesome machine. Keep it on the road,LOL. And a side note. If that lady becomes dnw president, I will have to really think about going to any dnw event. They way she treaded Al, she doesn't deserve it. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Agreed. She had a fiesty side to her I was not fond of. Al for president. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 On a different note... To those I already met/knew... It was cool seeing you guys again To all the new people I met, and it was a lot, pleasure is all mine. So many of you I've been dying to meet. To the people that met Flat Cat, to find out that really wasn't me...yeah, what's a Canby w/o some lolz? At least that is what I was told. What was it? 12? 15? Smooth, Q. And a Smoke sighting as well. 3 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 The smoke sighting is what made Saturday night, I think we had 10 flatcats, -+ a couple Well maybe the Gary Oldman sighting was funnier. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 As "Smoke" was leaving for good-we yelled "Smoke sighting" near Hobo. Guess who went running after the yellow 710. The WTF look on his face when he got to the window-almost as priceless as ricks as the last number was called. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 So the ticket that won is one of the ones DMike handed out. I know because my ticket, from Mike, was only 3 numbers off. Mike is on a back roads tour of OR/WA en route to Calgary. It will be a few days before Mike knows the news. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 OK, where to start, First, Al (Denmarkboy) for supplying the truck and place to work on it. Thanks for all the people that contributed parts, money and labor to make this all happen. My fondest memories of this will be working with some of you on the build days and how the Community came together for this build. Datzenmike, it was one of your tickets that won the truck, Q-tip gave me the winning ticket. Thank You very, very much Great to meet you Flatcat Datwifey, thank you so much for the hats and the workshirts for the work crew on this truck, can't wait to wear it for the next build This was one of the best weekends ever, My wife was super happy that she won one of the other raffle drawings, now she is going to want to come to all the shows 19 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 It was, Mike gave me the ticket and I gave it to rick. I HAD IT!!!! DAMMIT, I HAD IT!!! :lol: You know damn well your number wouldn't have been called if you had it. That was Rick's truck to win. So whos hosting/organizing next years build hahaha. Tricky question if you listened in on the banter being said about that. I'm just damn glad I got to a Canby show before I can't. Yadidimean? I enjoyed talking to the Bothwells. They put on a great event. 6 Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 What a way for this project to wrap up! Rick, you are very welcome for the hat and shirt. I wish that I was able to afford to get shirts for everyone who had also donated time and services toward parts and via PayPal as well, but the least that we could do was help Al get it done for all those who made it out to his place to help get that beauty to where it is now. Everyone who lent any sort of helping hand toward this project deserves a hand shake and thank you. Rick, welcome to the 521 crew. I can't wait to see this at our local meets! 4 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Rick. How many tickets were you holding at the end? 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I bought 20 tickets that weren't even close, the winning ticket came from Datzenmike via Q-tip :thumbup: 5 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Rick, it was an honor meeting you. This truck, and now you, have some very cool stories to share. I hope someone got a pic of Rick while on stage. Classic. I had a very small hand in the truck Saturday morning. I cleaned the plugs and assisted as Pumkin fiddled with the time. Also got the honor of driving it to its display. Stoked I could do something with it. Fucking Canby! 4 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Great show.. even better ending! It was great meeting everyone. I took about 3 pictures.... and I posted them right away. I the truck crew was busy this weekend! I hope you all enjoyed the live feeds. I know the quality wasn't the best.. that's the best I could do on a 4G hotspot. Datwifey, great meeting you. Thanks for the hat and super rad shirts! 4 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 was nice seeing everyone and all the cars this weekend. oh man what a weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Holy fuck, what a great Canby! I am now home in Spokompton. Things seem quite, rather nice. I kept dawdling and so didn't catch up with Moomin' and Mohammed, but I was only 6 miles behind them as the crow flies. For the record, I left Canby at 5:30, stopped for an unrelated 510 wagon who had been pulled over for a broken taillight and then the wagon wouldn't restart. The cop was quite cool. I backed up at asked if he needed any spare parts, lol. Orange wagon, stock L16, anyway, just bought it from somewhere and was driving it back to Montana. His support car was a fellow whose name I can't remember, said he was on hybrid z. Anyway, that was cool, they got it running, the cop was digging the Datsun comradery. Then got into Pasco just barely behind Mohammed and Moomin' and ate at the same DQ, missed them by 6 minutes, didn't think I was quite that close. Fuck me, I'm tired right now. Anyway, spent a half hour eating dinner, thus not catching even though I was averaging 85 mph and had Wynona to 95 and even 105 mph for a while. Ran her ragged all the way back, no issues. Mohammed had a heater hose pop off and the 610 started to overheat but he fixed that quickly and then everything was fine. All in all, a great time, glad Rick won the truck, glad Keith screwed with everybody on the Flatcat front, and I'll have lots to upload tomorrow, but for now I'm beat. Sleeping. 7 Quote Link to comment
