Hot Rods and Kustom Cars
Day 1 of the 48 Cars 48 States trip I got to visit my friends of the Los Punk Rods club at the Greaserama in Tracy, MO. If you want to see the coverage from that event, click here. After the Greaserama visit I hopped in the Galaxie and pointed it east on I-70 through Missouri, across the Mississippi River at St. Louis and then over to Mount Vernon, IL.
The 4th and final post of the 2017 Greaserama coverage is the biggest post of the week. I hope you’ve enjoyed the photos from the 2017 Greaserama, I want to say a huge thanks to the Los Punk Rods club for putting on this show every year and for supporting my 48 Cars 48 States trip! You all rock and I appreciate it!
Tomorrow on the website you’ll see the start of the 48 Cars 48 States trip travel blog, I’m a few days ahead of the website but hopefully that keeps me ahead of the game throughout the trip.
48 Cars In 48 States : The Great American Road Trip – A 48 state road trip with a stop in each state to photograph a traditionally styled hot rod, kustom or drag vehicle. Daily updates will be posted here on royboyproductions.com so you can see where I’ve gone, who I’ve met, some of what I’ve seen. At the end of the trip I’ll produce a 200 page full color book of the entire adventure. You can pre-order the book here!
So many of my friends are at this event it’s a wonder I got any photos shot. From artists Todd Jones, Dragdaddy, Lizzie Fenwick, Hot Rod Heuy, to Marcy from HopUp, John Wells from Iron Invasion and Vintage Torque Fest, TwoTall, to about 3 dozen others that I ran into, it was an awesome reunion.
Greaserama has a great lineup of bands and I got to listen to about 3 minutes of one of them before I had to split, as I’m typing this on Saturday evening I’m seeing Instagram posts and videos of the bands playing in the evening 5 hours behind me in KC and I wish I was still there.
More to come tomorrow.

Although I only had 4 hours to spend at the show, I got about 150 photos shot and talked with a LOT of friends along the way. It’s amazing how many non-KC friends I have that go to this show, I spent more time explaining about the 48 Cars 48 States trip and the mechanical issues that I ran into the caused me to leave the camper at home than I spent shooting photos or videos.
More of the story tomorrow

Today starts 4 days of coverage of the 2017 Greaserama! The 17th annual Labor Day weekend event in the KC area was a blast, even though I wasn’t able to stay long. By the time this post goes up on the site I’ll be well into the first week of my 48 Cars 48 States trip, this was my first stop of the trip. After a small going away party at the Paramount Bar in Salina, KS on Friday evening, I got up early Saturday and got the car ready to take off.
The trip was uneventful, my favorite kind of trip. 3hours later I rolled into the Platte County Fairgrounds in Tracy, MO on Saturday morning and found a place to park. The fairgrounds were filling up fast so I grabbed a couple of cameras & got to work. More of the story tomorrow!
