(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Most of the time if two events are scheduled on the same day I will typically choose the one closer to home.\u00a0 Very seldom is it possible to make two the same evening.\u00a0 This was pleasant exception.\u00a0 First there was a pre-NSRA Nationals gathering at Shelby\u2019s Speed and Kustom (they put on the Hullaballoo and other events).\u00a0 Small gathering, but it was nice, we got fed, and we checked on the progress of their \u201932 Ford that will be driven cross-country to bring awareness to suicide prevention.\u00a0 The car was painted by Jason Graham\u2019s shop and man this thing is n-i-c-e.<\/p>\n

Assembly continues and when it\u2019s ready we\u2019ll bring you photos.\u00a0 The photo of the flattie sporting Navarro speed parts is only a teaser.\u00a0 More photos of it coming up in some NSRA coverage.\u00a0 We headed over to Parkette drive-in for their monthly cruise.\u00a0 It is literally about a mile or so away from Shelby\u2019s as the crow flies.\u00a0 Lots of cool stuff showed up and one of my favorites was the blue Studebaker Avanti.\u00a0 I had a buddy that passed away a couple years ago that had one that I helped wrench and drive some.\u00a0 Just super cool cars.\u00a0 The Yellow \u201969 Camaro was really thumping and it looked to have some giggle gas on tap too.\u00a0 The red Olds drop-top 442 is about as cool as it gets for a cruiser.\u00a0 I typically don\u2019t go in for the convertibles, but this thing would be a blast to take for a drive and the Cragar S\/S wheels help make it a timeless beauty.\u00a0 We really enjoy the Parkette cruises and the food is good too.\u00a0 It\u2019s definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
