Do-Dads Vintage Drag & Show 2018

Do-dads Reunion Vintage Drag & Show – I wanted to visit this event for few years, but it always clashes with WRC Finland. This year I just didn’t do the rally. I was very committed and even started a vlog. Very DIY one: shot on phone, edited on phone. Take a look ;)

Now, let’s see the proper photo report. Let’s start with the Finnish take on cosplay.

Those who were less into cosplay, just wore Dickies shorts, trucker’s cap and some Converse.. as I did too

Event was held at Oripää Airfield, 200km away from Helsinki. Big part of the ground was covered by american muscles, custom cars and classics.

How many Citroen hot rods have you seen? This is my first one. It’s also road legal. Owner just made the frame stronger, showed it to the committee and got approved (well, I think the process took a year).

And as I was saying, take pics of your friend’s car ;) especially if they make drawings on your skin that last forever.

This was the most badass lady I saw that weekend. She raced herself into semi-finals by the way.

Yes, racing. There was that. A proper vintage dragrace, even with a flagger.
