(Words and photos by Joe Grippo) – Well, it was a hit and miss weekend at the 2013 Carlisle All Ford Nationals. More of a hit, really. Rain killed most of Friday including my favorite activity, the Friday Night Drags at Quarter Aces. Saturday dawned bright and sunny and the Ford folks came to Carlisle [...]
The LA Roadster Show is going on this weekend and we’re there….and we’re also in Bowling Green at the NHRA Holley National Hot Rod Reunion. How? Because we freaking rule. That’s how. Stop asking dumb questions. Anyway, we were prowling the grounds of the show and taking in all the west coast roadstery goodness and [...]
Here’s where you’ll find all of our 2013 Holley National Hot Rod Reunion photos! Charles Wickam is here with Chad and I at Bowling Green and he’ll be handling the photo duties this weekend. Keep checking back here all weekend to see the latest and greatest photos. From the early arrivals on Wednesday evening to [...]
(Words and photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – As if the Hot Rod Power Tour didn’t provide enough action at the Chattanooga, Tennessee stop, the folks at Coker Tire rolled out the red carpet and invited everyone to hang out at a special After Party Cruise In at their headquarters in downtown Chattanooga. These guys [...]
Since May, my traveling and announcing schedule has been pretty jam packed with events all over the country. I am eternally thankful for that but it doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for doing fun stuff at home, because that actually requires being at home. Knowing that, you’ll understand why my boys were hyped [...]
(Photos by Chad and family) – Last weekend, Chad was at the 2013 Goodguys Pleasanton Get Together. The Goodguys “get together” shows are open to all year American cars, so unlike a typical Goodguys event that centers around old stuff, this show has it all. Chad was there announcing the autocross and he rented a [...]
(Photos by BangShift.com) – So last weekend my announcing work took me to Atlanta Dragway in Commerce, Georgia to call the action on the autocross course at the 2013 Chevy High Performance Nationals. The weather was hot all weekend and aside from some liquid sunshine on Sunday afternoon, it was a great weekend of racing. [...]
(Words and photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – There’s one thing about a small town car show, especially one located in the South—you’re almost guaranteed to see some pretty cool stuff. Even if there is a weak turnout, you’ll likely see vehicles that pay homage to the creativity and ingenuity that only the Southern portion [...]
(Words and Photos by Scott Liggett) – Bob’s Big Boy in Toluca Lake has sponsored a Friday night cruise since the early 1990′s when it was saved from a developer intent on bulldozing the place in the name of progress. The show has been hosted by the Road Kings, one of the oldest car clubs [...]
(Photos by Scott Liggett) – Our man Scott Liggett kicked his Memorial Day weekend off in style with a visit to the famous Bob’s Big Boy Friday night cruise in Toluca Lake, California. He wasn’t the only one with that idea as a massive number of cars showed up and the variety was everything you [...]
(Photos by Dom Damato/DRD Photography) – Earlier this month, our man Dom Damato attended the 2013 version of the Vintage Torque Fest. This show is a celebration of the traditional end of the hot rodding world with lots of cool rides, art, and people in 1950s garb having a good time. The weather was tough [...]
(Photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – It was way cool hanging out with Tommy Lee Byrd on Friday afternoon and evening at the 2013 Goodguys Nashville Nationals. He had come out from his home base in the Chattanooga area to scope out the event, shoot photos, and enjoy the show. We grabbed him for dinner [...]
(Words and photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – We love Goodguys events, mainly because they’re not your typical car show. It’s much more than that, and it actually involves beating on your car, which is totally our style. This past weekend we checked out the Goodguys Nashville Nationals at LP Field and had a great [...]
(Words by Greg Rourke — Photos by Rouke/Chiluk) – The Earlville cruise night only happens once a year in Earlville, Il., and that might be just enough. They shut down most of the town to accommodate the cars that come from all over, this year car count was well over 300. It looked like almost [...]
(Words and photos by Tommy Lee Byrd) – Last weekend, Tommy Lee Byrd made his annual trip (a whole 4 miles) to the Strawberry Festival Cruise In, held in his hometown of Dayton, Tennessee. It’s a typical small town festival that features a block party on Friday night, and a big parade on Saturday afternoon. [...]
(Photos by Scott Liggett) – Yesterday we showed you the first of two galleries that our LA correspondent Scott Liggett filed from the 10th George Barris Cruisin’ Back To The 50s Car Show. There was lots of cool iron featured in those images, but we had more than 100 additional images that were equally as [...]
