(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>More of the Lowhorn-n-Lark show in here too, but they aren\u2019t the only ones trying to get the crowd excited.\u00a0 One interesting thing about the Chevy-powered Lowhorn Falcon is its driver.\u00a0 Adam Lowhorn barely out of his teens and can wheel that three-pedal car better than most veterans.\u00a0 He\u2019s a natural.\u00a0 Sometimes his dry-hops shoot the nose up higher than when he leaves the beams.\u00a0 Its definitely a show.<\/p>\n

Dustin Corn pilots both the Lumpy Corvette and the Hi-Jinx rear-engine funny.\u00a0 Hi-Jinx is quicker by far, but Lumpy will get the fans to their feet with its violent wheelies.\u00a0 Not to be outdone is the stubby \u201957 that has been owned by the same guy for 35+ years.\u00a0 It seems if its pointed in the right direction he is getting after it.\u00a0 Definitely want them taking solo passes when they are set on kill.\u00a0 Wheels-up launches were definitely on the menu that day and even the \u2018Sour Kraut\u2019 bug got in on the action.\u00a0 The tire-wrinkle shot of the burgundy three-window coupe is one of my favorite photos of the year.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure why \u2013 it just looks good to me.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
