2014 Rumble Part 4

The show fliers all call out for traditional hot rods and kustoms only. The crowd did a pretty good job this year of sticking to that with minimum whining. I hope in the years to come we can see this show turn into another fantastic time capsule type show featuring the timeless styles of of the old days while encouraging folks to build their own rides in a way that will never go out of style.

When the announcement was made that the Rumble would be moved to Commerce Street I was excited. I’d heard of the shows that I missed at the Go Away Garage years ago. I thought maybe, just maybe some of that mojo was left and this show could pick up on it. A few of the same folks are still involved, so why not?

I’ve been attending the Rumble since 2009 when it was the Rumble in Delano and held accordingly in the Delano District of Wichita. The venue has changed, the date has changed and those are hard things for a show to survive. The Primary’s Car Club that puts the event on has done a great job weathering the changes and they are on track to take this cool show to new levels over the next few years if the 2014 Rumble is any indication. Though the show is still relatively small compared to many others, they have a vision, some good folks to put it together and they have a great location. The job now is to get the word out to the folks out there how cool of an event this is and encourage even more folks to show up next year.

2014 Rumble Part 1

The Galaxie parked amongst my friends’ rides. The plan was to get up early and head down to Arkansas City for the Last Run then to head up to Wichita to the Rumble. After being up late working on the 2015 Calendar For Charity Friday night I overslept and ended up skipping Arkansas City. The Rumble was awesome, the best one yet.

Event Coverage: 2013 Rumble – Wichita, KS – Part 4

When the show was started it was in June and ran from 4p-10p, now that it’s in September, the show ends up at 8pm after the pinup contest and the awards. Perfect timing to head to my favorite pizza joint in Wichita then head to the after party. I had a really good time and I will be back next year.

The Rumble, Wichita, KS Sept 28, 2013 Part 2

The show started at 1pm after some morning weather, that may have scared some folks off, but the die hards still came and were rewarded with perfect fall weather.  From the time I rolled in at 1pm until leaving at 8pm it was perfection. The stage for the bands, pinup contest and awards was setup under the Kellogg flyover, and surrounded by cars as I rolled in. Later cars filled the adjacent parking lot, there was room in those two areas for 30 or so more cars as things were set up, and room up the street for a ton more as the show grows.

Event Coverage: 2013 Rumble – Wichita, KS – Part 1

The Rumble, Wichita, KS Sept 28, 2013

The Rumble (formerly Rumble in Delano) has been going on each year in Wichita for a few years now. This is the second year for the show’s new late September date and the first time for the show’s new location just south of the Go Away Garage in downtown Wichita. Those two changes can be tough for a show to survive, but from my experience Saturday I think the show came through fine.

I really dig the under Kellogg/US-54 location, it just has an interesting and kool look about it. Here’s my Galaxie when I rolled in. As always, to purchase any of these photos as a print, click on it and you’ll be taken to the gallery where you can pick size and paper style. Metallic is my favorite paper right now but they all have their own place to be used and the site will even tell you what each does best.

 Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

There were quite a few early arrivers like myself.

Doug’s Toad and McPhail’s 41 Buick at the registration booth.

A few of the pinstripers hung out at the Go Away Garage and had a panel jam.

 

The platform out side of the Go Away Garage made for a great place to watch the incoming rides.

 

Jason and his truck have been at a lot of the same shows as I have been lately, and I’m not complaining.

Jack and his 51 leading in a few friends from the Mulvane Marauders. The 51 and Joe’s 41 Ford Pickup behind it took home 4 combined awards. The awards were hand made and painted and some of the koolest I’ve seen all year so far. Congrats to Fast AL’s Upholstery on the Best Interior award on the 51.

I just can’t stop taking photos of the Toad. Here’s some from a photo shoot for CKD magazine.

And McPhail’s 41 Buick sitting pretty.

Johnny Hammann brought out his shoebox.

Look! I found a couple of Dirty Martinis 🙂 with Larry Jame’s Caddy

Variations on a theme…

Newly finished this summer, and already one of my favorites.

Another that I’ve seen all over this year but I can’t stop taking pics of it.

That’s it for this first post, more throughout the week or you can click here and see the entire gallery.

See you at a show,
Royboy
