Yesterday's fun
« on: May 19, 2013, 09:23:15 PM »
Yesterday was an annual event that is held in my town called Chester on Track, it is a celebration of our heritage. A friend of mine and I put on a nice gas engine show there and there was a parade in which the Titan made its public debut. I had my '53 there, I but I didn't run it in the parade.

Here's some pictures of the parade that my mom took. Enjoy! The blue jeep is my friend's '48. I gave it to him and it was a rust pile. He fixed it up and made it presentable.

Great photos.  Looks like fun was had by all.  I'm surprised they let you drive your tractor on the paved road.

Tim, it didn't tear up the pavement at all. The ride wasn't too bad either.

No the fire chief didn't win the race. ;D

Thanks for sharing the fun.  Looks to me like America is alive and well - even up North.  I think that my Great Great Grandfather would approve also (6th Virginia cavalry, 39th battalion, co.c, CSA).
If its not broke, work on it till it is
