The beautiful blue Kansas sky and the big trees of Forest Park combined to make lots and lots of harsh shadows. If I had more time at the show I would have used an off camera flash to fill in a bit, but I had 3 hours to cover a park with about 2000 cars in it… So yeah I didn’t do that 🙂

I love the stance of this shoebox. If any of you know the owner I’d like to find out how this stance was achieved. I have 3″ drop springs for the front of mine and 3″ drop springs for the rear, but I’m sure I need to get down farther than that.

Larry Wolfe recently brought this late 60’s Dave Stuckey creation back home to Wichita. Plans are to return it to it’s 1967 state. Back in the day Stuckey used this wild sectioned 1965 Pontiac Catalina to tow his Top Fuel Drag car. I reallly wish I could have been around to see that rolling down the road.

That’s it for the regular coverage of the show, tomorrow I’ll feature some that I’ve spent a little more time on. Since I was shooting this show for magazine show coverage I didn’t spend much time working on artsy photos, it was more about getting the needed photos for the article.

See you at a show,

For part 2 we’re still on Saturday. The show was big big big this year, I don’t feel that there would have been any way to get all of the cars and especially all of the spectator cars into the area of the old venue. It was pretty impressive to head up on the north hill of the fairgrounds to see all that the 2013 Greaserama was.

Man, what a great weekend! The Greaserama moved this year from it’s long time venue to a new one that was outside of KC, many denounced the move but the crowd that showed up on Saturday proved that change can be good. I’m writing an article for a magazine on the show so I’ll save most of my words of the event for that, here the photos will do the talking.

1 Month Warning: KKOA Hotrodding Hullabaloo – Denison, TX

SUPER SIZED POST! FULL OF PHOTOS!

Last year I made my first ever trip to Denison, TX for the KKOA Hotrodding Hullabaloo. Like the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular in Salina, KS the event has some Run What Ya Brung Drags on Friday. The show this year looks to be a great time too, I wish I could make it but the new Sept. 27-29 dates for the show conflicts with another event that I will be attending.

Just down the street and around the corner from the show are my buddies at Atlas Speed & Custom, get ahold of them if you get down to the show, they have a lot of kool going on.

It was unusually chilly in North Texas on the Friday of last year’s show, here are some pics from the Drags held at a local airstrip west of Denison.

Later that evening I went over to a local watering hole to see my buddies in the band Pushrod rock the house. Waaaaay too early the next morning I was up and at em again and headed over to the park for the show. I was greeted with a bunch of familiar faces from my adventures up here in KS and OK, and a bunch of new to me folks too. The show was small, laid back and really perfect for spending time with friends telling tall tails and talking kustoms.

Then it was out to dinner with some friends and when I got back to the hotel I couldn’t resist some night shots.

Sunday I went back over to the show to see who was around, quite a few had split town, but there were still some kool rides to be seen.

All in all, I had a damn good time, well worth the 12 hours it took to drive there and back! If not for the previously mentioned scheduling conflict I would be going back this year for sure. If you can make it to the show, get there, enjoy some kool kustoms and hot rods and of course hanging out with each other!

See you at a show,

Perfection.

Simple, cool, I want one.

Some of the best curves in the automotive world.

Bill Moore’s “High School Dropout” Merc

This is one of the slickest flatties I’ve ever seen.

Don’s 53 is always looking good.

Another view of Rick’s new shoebox.

Krobe’s fastback fleetline Chevy

There are a couple of shoebox utes in the area, this one has a ton of work in it.

Kerry’s rail, I hear tell that about the time I headed for the hotel he pulled a 165 mph run, congrats man!

John and Butch warming up the hides.

Event Coverage :2013 HAMB Drags Weekend Part 2

Here are some more shots from the HAMB Drags Friday Night’s pre-party shenanigans

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Mike and Daddy-O from Pushrod (and Atlas Speed & Custom)

This looks like a good time…

Dick’s Chevy is simple and clean and a driving machine.

Stray Kat Kustoms (Mickey) has just about finished his 60 Chevy with 60 Merc Grill as his daily driver.

Early Saturday morning after a hearty breakfast I roamed the parking lot a bit before heading out.

Here’s my buddy Rick’s new shoebox.

A whole lotta kool in the host hotel parking lot.

On the way to MO-KAN Dragway we stopped by Ryno Built for a coffee and donuts open house.

A few cars were taking advantage of the shop, like Jason swapping his slicks on.

Others gathered to help a friend 1/2 a country from home.

Then Jason tacked his grill support bracket back in place.

150 miles each way and consistent 10 second passes all day. Mike had a good debut weekend for the Henry J.

The next stop is the track for the main event!

Event Coverage : 2013 H.A.M.B. Drags Weekend Part 1

Another HAMB Drags weekend has come and gone.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

As usual for this event I decided to leave my ride at home and catch a ride with my folks down to Joplin. With all of the travel that I do, it’s good to spend a couple of those weekends a year with them on the road. As I loaded my bags into the back of the truck the rain was pouring down in our little town. We headed south as quick as we could to try to outrun the storm. The route between Gypsum, KS and Joplin, MO has a few turns so every time we out ran the storm we made a turn and drove right back into it for the first 2 hours or so of the trip. 15 or 20 miles in a massive hail storm and torrential downpours were lowlights of Thursday evening’s drive.

Friday morning we assembled some of our friends and headed for Springfield, MO for the swap meet. The Ozarks Antique Auto Club Swap Meet is massive. There is no other way to describe it really. The car corral is usually loaded with good buys and some that are a bit over priced. There are top notch vendors from across the country and a truly staggering amount of individual sellers covering the fairgrounds. I didn’t find anything that I couldn’t live without, actually I had my heart set on an Offenhauser 4bbl intake for my flathead and some matching heads, but some new Royboy computer upgrades had that cash spoken for. Ahhhh, maybe next year.

Then it was back to the host hotel area for the Friday Night pre-party! Tons of folks drove their rides from all over the country to attend the drags and the pre-party. Music was provided by my friends Pushrod and they rocked the party like non-other.

To see all of the photos in the gallery go here.

Then it was off to bed to get up for Saturday’s shenanigans, more about those tomorrow.

Brand New royboyproductions.com

By now you should be aware of the new royboyproductions.com

 

I’m not going to waste a bunch of your time explaining it. Basically the blog has become the main ingredient of the site. There are links in the menu across the top of the page to let you go straight to Event Coverage, Car Features, Show Schedule, Galleries, all of your favorite components of Royboy Productions. There are a couple of “Coming Soon” pages, and yes I hate them too, but they are coming and I just wanted them there for place holders until I can finish the pages out.

Where all to find Royboy Productions online

So obviously if you’re reading this you know all about the Royboy Productions Blog… um this is it. But Royboy images and stories can be found all over the internet. The home hub for it all is royboyproductions.com over the coming months I hope to update the site to act as a true hub for all that goes on in the RBP world.
The RBP galleries are all found on SmugMug, over 38,000 images from Austin to Vegas to Chicago and all kinda points in between. This is the main place to go for the visual stories that make up Royboy Productions.

Another great place to keep up with RBP is on Facebook. Pretty much everything flows through that page, links to photo galleries, blog posts, etc. all go through the Royboy page on Facebook.

Keep an eye out for a new Royboy Productions website, there will be a complete overhaul in the next few months to better bring you daily articles on show coverage, feature cars, shop profiles, and car club profiles.

See you at a show,

Royboy
