Hot Rods and Kustom Cars
Since I couldn’t make it out to SEMA again this year, I called on my buddy John Wells to take some photos and send them this way so we could all see them. Check out the sizzle reel for the new TV project that John and Max Grundy are working on together and enjoy the photos!
The Hot Rod Garage Open House also includes a reunion of some vintage drag racers. Tons of fast cars from the 60’s-70’s were from this region and this was a great way to get a few of the folks together.
As you can see in the photos from the 2015 Hot Rod Garage Open House the weather was kinda dreary for most of the day. The crowd just kept on coming, inside there was a long table and a bunch of chairs set up so folks could grab a bite amongst all of the current projects in that building and we could watch some vintage drag racing from a projector. Outside everyone’s buddy Monkey was acting as DJ, playing some great music and keeping us informed of the schedule of the day. It was a busy day!
In part 2 of my 2015 Hot Rod Garage Open House coverage we continue the stroll down the street to see all of the cars. Enjoy!
This weekend I headed down to Sand Springs, OK to the Hot Rod Garage for their 2015 Open House. All week long rain was threatening the event, it was looking iffy. When we got up at 6 on Saturday and looked out of the hotel window it was raining, no bueno. A quick look at the radar showed that it was just about over. By the time we got to the Hot Rod Garage all was good, wet pavement but no more falling from the sky and the front engine dragsters were unloading! Typically the event fills up early, the moisture slowed that down a bit but by noon the street was full on both sides and people were in all 4 buildings that make up Hot Rod Garage checking out all of the under construction projects and enjoying the cars parked around the facility.
This week Royboy talks with photographer Spike Kilmer about street racing, hot rods, kustoms, magazines and creepy dolls. Yup, creepy dolls.

2015 Bayou Roundup photo coverage by 9 year old Ryder Burford!
I was excited when I heard that the Kontinentals were going to take the awesome recipe that makes up the Lonestar Roundup and drop it in Cajun country. Lafayette, LA played host to the first ever Bayou Roundup over the weekend of Oct. 16 and 17th. Great cars, great music and great food, what’s not to love? I was bummed when I found out that the event was the same weekend as the BluesMasters At The Crossroads in Salina. I can’t be in two places at once. Lucky for me (and you) my buddy, 9 year old Ryder Burford went to the event and took his camera! His photos are below 🙂

Today we continue with photos from the 2015 Shoebox Central Open House.
This weekend I head d south of the border, well okay south of the Kansas border, to the 2015 Shoebox Central open house. Shoebox Central is the one stop shop for anything you could want for your 1949-1951 Fords and 49-52 Mercs.
There was a small car show out front of the shop, enjoy the photos!
Another event that I couldn’t make but wish I could have was 2015 The Race Of Gentlemen or TROG. Held on the beach next to Wildwood, NJ this traditional hot rod event was postponed due to a hurricane and many were wondering how the turnout would be a week later. I think you’ll see from Jason Mayginnes’ photos that the turn out was great!

While I was off galavanting around on one of my road trips my friend and mentor Doug Reed attended our mutual friend Roger Linn’s 75th Anniversary of the 1940 Ford Party at his home south of Wichita. Doug was nice enough to share some images of the event with me to share with you.

The 2015 Poverty Flats Pie Festival and Car Show Fall Edition is much like the one that my uncle Paul (Poverty Flats) put on over Memorial Day weekend. A free to enter car show that has delicious pies as trophies and is more about having a good time than anything else. The Fall edition happens as part of the Gypsum, KS Fall Fest so it includes a parade, a feed, music, games all in my home town. Good times! I was only able to stay for a short bit as this weekend is the Blues Masters At The Crossroads concerts that I work each year but I did snap some quick shots of some of the cars for you to enjoy!

The smaller shows like the 2015 Old Geezers Show are my favorite. You get the time to talk to everyone, you get to relax with your friends, it’s just a better time than spending all day looking at 1000 cars and never having time to talk or take in the details. Some great rides showing up helps too!
More photos from the 2015 Old Geezers Show in Lamar, MO including one of the koolest new shoeboxes to get finished near here in the last few years.
The 2015 Old Geezers Show had a few of the other shoeboxes at it, some fine Tri-five rides were in attendance!
This weekend I attended the 2015 Old Geezers Show in Lamar, MO. For the 3rd year I’ve been able to make the trek to this small town to enjoy a cool little show with a lot of great folks. In 2014 the show featured Mercury’s, in 2015 it was Shoebox Fords, although not too many made it. I was supposed to take mine, but it’s not done at the shop yet, another friend was recovering from a surgery and couldn’t take his, at a smaller show like this even a couple of cars makes a difference.
