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.

When Kyle and Tay invited me to their wedding, I didn’t think I could make it. As time went on I started to realize that I need to start taking some time off from a car show here or there to take part in my friend’s lives. This was a great opportunity because they wanted to have a car show as part of the wedding. Since I couldn’t make Iron Invasion I asked Dan Podobinski to cover it for us while I attended a car show wedding in Ash Grove, MO.

The 2015 Rumble ran from noon to 7pm, since I had a bit of a drive to do and some of the food trucks had left the event I snuck out to grab some dinner before the awards. When I got back it looked like about half of the show had left before the awards. That’s kind of a bummer because the Primarys Car Club that put on the event really have some killer hand made trophies for the event. Painted up skate decks, hand made aluminum sculpture from this week’s sponsor Corey Conyers of Crown Customs and a bunch more cool stuff that you don’t see at most shows.

After making it through the cars of the 2015 Rumble I headed up the alley to the Go Away Garage for the Chrome, Smoke & Flames show at the gallery. Some AMAZING art on display in the show as always. Mitch at the Go Away has been kind enough to let some local pinstripers come in and do a panel jam each year. I grabbed a couple of images of the painting going down by Ron Pinkston and Jason Jewitt.

The weather for the 2015 Rumble was awesome! Well it was nice and warm and sunny but the sun made photos a bit harder. All in all I’ll take it over the rain that has plagued so many events in the area in the last couple of years. A bunch of great cars and great people make sure you check out the gassers at the end of the post!

The 2015 Rumble started at Noon, the cars started showing up around 11am. By the time I rolled in at noon I was in the back row of the parking lot, it was filling up quickly. The show is really focused on the 64 and older rods and customs. There is another big show in the area the same day and the sign out front point blank spells out what kind of cars they’d like to see here and where to find the other show if your car doesn’t fit the requirements for the Rumble. I personally would rather see more of these types of shows. Or at the very least segregated parking  :).

Sept, 26, 2015 in Wichita, KS was the 2015 Rumble. I’ve been attending the Rumble since it was the Rumble in Delano a few years ago. Through all of the changes in the show from June to September to a different venue I’ve always liked this event. Yes, its kind of small. No, that’s not an issue. I’d prefer under 500 cars to more than 500 any week of the year. The show this year tried to put all of the cars under the Kellogg/US54 flyover which led to some challenging photos due to extreme sun and shadow but I think you’ll agree that it looks good. It’s great to not have the sun bearing down on you all day too.

The final day of the 2015 OKC Hot Rod Hundred coverage picks back up on the highway. We headed over to RK Machine, in Ripley, OK and then to a small private museum. From there we hopped on highway 33 and headed for a park in Guthrie, OK where we would gather up for some BBQ and we could check out a car show going on in the park.

All in all a great day spent driving our cars with friends. What more could you ask for?

Once the 2015 OKC Hot Rod Hundred got to Seba Station Motorcycle Museum we kinda took over the land for parking. Those 100 cars stack up pretty quickly. I wish had more time to check the museum out and look around. Too many people in the small space so I headed back out and it was time to get back on the road.

About 100 cars gathered at Pop’s for the start of the 2015 OKC Hot Rod Hundred. It was a great turnout! The weather was cool and the skies as you can see were overcast. A fantastic day to go do 100 miles in your cool car. These Hot Rod Hundred events are awesome, if there’s one in your area please make every effort to go take part in it!

You might remember earlier this year when I went down to Springfield, MO for the SWMO Hot Rod Hundred. Well I had such a good time I decided that I needed to attend the 2015 OKC Hot Rod Hundred this past weekend Sept. 19. We started at Pop’s in Arcadia, OK on Rt. 66 (see photo below). That place was awesome! Here are some photos from Pop’s parking lot as we gathered up before the run.

For the 5th installment of the 2015 Starliner coverage we’re deep into the afternoon. The turnout was fantastic, this isn’t the biggest show in the country, it doesn’t have the most kustoms, but there is something about this show that’s special for me. I hope you see it too. We end up today’s coverage with photos from the awards. One extra post tomorrow!
