A friend was asked to put together a car show for a local distillery in his hometown, about 30 minutes west of me. He owns and drives a funny car, so he decided to do something a bit different. Instead of just street rods, he decided to have two divisions, one race cars, and the other show cars. It went pretty well for an inaugural event, with just over 100 vehicles showing up. This was pretty surprising since there were two other much larger established shows going on, plus a Corvette Club gathering the same day.
He had asked early on if I would be able to shoot the event as a favor. This is the first show I've done this year. As always, many more on Flickr.

A NASCAR Dale Earnhardt tribute car. This thing was crazy, it is the real deal Stock NASCAR, converted to street legal!

I had to set the camera on the street to get an up-angle shot of this lowrider pickup ratrod.

A very cool Midget Racer. The owner had a binder full of historical data relating to the car, including races attended and a couple photos of Al Unser in the car.

This 1971 Torino Cobra was one of only a few built from 1969 to 1971. It was purchased new from the Ford dealer in this same town and is still owned by the original purchaser. It won best of show in the street car division.

This is a Top Alcohol Funny Car. The 'Muldowney' in the name refers to Shirly 'Cha Cha' Muldowney, the first woman ever to be licensed by the NHRA to drive a Top Fuel Dragster. She went on to win three national titles. Now in her 80's, she's a partner and advisor to the team.
