    No, Chris, my wife and I are on a landscape photography tour throughout the west.

    Des Moines was a great show in '94, the last time I was there and I can only imagine how much bigger and better it is now! That purple full-fendered duece roadster I just posted had Iowa tags.

    Awkward ? Explain. You should have seen what they started with. A lot of these cars were wadded up and un savable, and built for this specific purpose which is fun with hotrods.

  25. Awesome shots as always, Tom. Like everyone else who wasn't there, I gotta make this one day. They'll have to build additional hotels to handle the crowds!

    I know. I couldn't believe the setup. The motel rooms were at the most, 200 feet from the track. There was one small building with a few hotel rooms that was maybe 75 feet from the starting line.

    I don't think you could a better venue. You didn't have to leave the grounds for anything all weekend if you didn't want to.
