Part 2
After the Bright Built Hot Rods Open House was the official start of the show, a cruise through the business district of Santa Fe Ave in Salina. It was really more of a slow parade but it brought out a huge crowd, the cooler weather due to another storm that you can see in the last pics helped the spectator count as well.

Wow! It was a great weekend for me at the 2011 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular in Salina, KS! This is basically a home town show being 20 miles from home and I took as full advantage of that as my body would allow. Starting with going in on Wednesday night to see the early arrivers and enjoying the 107 to 83 degree drop in 15 or so minutes when a storm came through.

Sitting around having fun at the hotel during the Stray Kat 500 this year a few of us thought it would be a good idea to do SOMETHING, anything in between the 500 and the KKOA in Salina. We all have shows we were going to do but something where we actually did something with our rides would be great. The idea was brought to Finkd’s attention and he took the ball and ran with it. He’d done a cool run last fall when Ian Berky was up at Premier Body & Paint in Arkansas City, KS and had been wanting to do another run anyways so the stars lined up for us all and the run was planned. Finkd did a great job planning the run and took us down some very cool roads along the way. Continue reading “KS Boys Backroads Tour!”
Every year on Memorial Day my Uncle Paul and his wife Sandy have a celebration where the family and friends can come together, have some food, share some quality time and of course pay our respects for those that the day is truly for. Continue reading “Memorial Day in Small Town U.S.A.”

Pete & Jakes Hot Rod Parts hosted their annual Open House Car Show on May 14th in Peculiar, MO. A bunch of stripers were on hand (oh how much more fun would this sentence be with one additional “p” huh?) and a ton of cool cars/folks that build & own them. There was an auction of a ton of striped stuff to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. That’s a good cause, help support them if ya can.
Here’s some of what I saw. Click on any of these shots to go to the whole gallery, there are a ton more shots than what I’ll share on this thread.

In this installment of my Easter weekend spectacular we’ve moved on to Sunday. My uncle Paul (povertyflats) has a fun car and a couple of motorized bicycles and after dinner it was time for the real fun to begin.
One of the koolest things about heading down this hot rod/kustom kar photography road has been the people that I’ve met and become friends with. Saturday I got to hang with 3 of these great guys AND I got to drive my 63 Galaxie a couple hundred miles, it was a truly great day!
First off, if you don’t know about Vintage Torque Fest, where have ya been? It’s only one of the coolest shows ever. and I mean like forever ever, it’s that cool, and it’s happening April 29-30, 2011!
The schedule is chock full of kickass goodness. The Maquoketa, IA show kicks off Friday at noon, then at 3pm there’s a cruise over to Maquoketa Caves. At 4:45pm the bands start up, and it’s a great list of bands! Add is some good old fashioned dirt track racing and a drive-in movie and now there’s just too much coolness for one night to contain. Click the first sentence of this paragraph to see the full rundown of the weekend’s schedule.
There’s so much that kicks so much butt about this show that it’s hard for me to describe it. The show goes to benefit a great cause, Helping Hannah’s Heart. The guy that puts it on is a buddy of mine and an all around fantastic dude. The cars that showed up to the first VTF last year were great. Getting cars out on a dirt track is wicked cool. Loud rock n roll music…enough said! Drive in movies, tons of great folks… I could just go on and on. Oh and don’t forget Wayne Hancock is performing!
Instead, here’s some pics from last year’s show. Click on any photo to go to the gallery and see the entire 555 photo set. Remember every picture that you buy as a print or download helps me get to another show and provide more coverage for you!
Now it’s time for some dirt trackin’!
So go now, check out Vintage Torque Fest and make plans to be there April 29-30!
Thanks for reading, see you at a show (it really oughta be this one!)
