This is Day Of The Drags weekend here in central Texas, and Friday night is test-n-tune ahead of the main event on Saturday. Gotta go, right? So... plans were made. I climbed into the sedan, met Joyo in his beautiful roadster a little north of Austin, and then the two of us met Reggie in Weir, TX. From there it was *****in' Texas summer evening backroads to the Little River speedway. Got to see El Jefe get his rail dialed in, and we even leveraged Joyo's charging system issues into a roadside photo op. Some pics below -
Thanks a lot for the pictures. It looks like a real blast. Last year we had 15 cars on a days trip of about 135 miles each way. Had a great time. Looks like you did too. For Christmas, my wife got me one of those GoPro cameras. Now, I just need to figure out how to get the videos from the camera to the computor.
Enjoyed the pics Blake, just like a River City run with just the 3 of you. One of your shots you could nearly check out Joyo's ear!! interesting that he's running a spare tire rear spreader on his roadster . Never seen that done before. I'm running a luggage rack spreader on my coupe.
Thanks for the kind words, fellas. SWIFTY - great to hear from you! The Austin guys do a fairly good job of finding reasons to drive the hot rods. This weekend there just happened to be a drag racing event, but it could just as easily have been a craving for a cheeseburger and homemade peach ice cream from Fredericksburg, TX... always via the back roads! To that point, I'm wondering if I should use that spare tire mount on my sedan so I can actually carry a spare!
