Event Coverage Texas car show-Manifolds on Main 9-26-09

Bart I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you have put into this show from what I have seen this will be way over the top. Thanks Larry

 

For those of you who are wanting to donate to Operation Christmas HAMB http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4343041&posted=1#post4343041 I will be at Manifolds on Main accepting donations. I have volunteered to be the DFW drop off point and realize Richardson could be a bit of a drive for several so thought accepting donations at the show would be a good option.

Want to thank Bart for allowing me to do this.

I will have a sign at the least along with my Black 48 Plymouth so that you can find me.



Look forward to meeting everyone.

 

Race cars at the show...

Can't wait!

 

We closed up pre-registration on Friday and it looks like we may have doubled last years numbers. Thanks to everyone who sent in the registration. Looks like a lot of cool cars headed to Irving on Saturday.

You can still register at the show. Gates open at 11:00am and it is $15 entry fee. You will also get a t-shirt if you are part of the first 200.

Best way to get into the show is O'Connor south from Hwy 183 or Irving Blvd west from Loop 12.

The count down has begun. Given away 4 Stars tickets to opening night as a door prize.

And then there was 6 till one of the coolest events in North Texas

 

Looking forward to the Midget racers! That's some cool race history. Can't wait!

 

just a quick question...if we are just wanting to come, and not show a car, is there a cost to get in?

 

if we don't inter in the show do we gotta park our hot rods out on the street some where around the corner ?

 

ahh, no rain, 82 and partly cloudy.
works for me .......

 

no my hot rod is staying in the garage....its kind of hard to drive it with the motor sitting next to it i wanna go but i dont think too many people want to see my girls cobalt

 

im not going to make it, although a car i just finished up will be there with a good buddy of mine. if ya'll would give rich and the big cat a warm welcome i'd appreciate it.

 

Ryno, that ride just screams S-E-X ! That thing is gorgeous.

 

Thanks for the intro Ryno! The BigCat is ready to purr on over to Main St on saturday. I'm trying to find a place to get her buffed properly. For anyone who may be interested, my plan was to roll to "Cars n Coffee" right before the show. It's at the tollway and Spring Creek Prkway, at Classic BMW. There is a website, carsandcoffee.com. Last time I went, there were quite a few tools with their Lambos and Ferraris. It would be great for some of us real people with classy chassis headed up there and took over!!

 

There is a $15 fee to enter a car into the show but spectators are free. The car show is part of a large free street festival. Lots of music and vendors and kid activies.

Come on out!

Bart

 

There is free street parking, free parking in the DART lot and free parking at the City Hall garage.

If you are bringing a hot rod, why not enter? You might end up with a free shirt or a great door prize.

Bart

 

thanks man i will see you there

 

you will have a good time for sure, if you dont then the admission is on me...

 

Anybody bringing out a recently finished project. Maybe a car going to it's first show.

Shirts arrived today. They are looking good!

Bart

 

I'm gonna have a new back window in mine... does that count.. and Big Ken has a new bed on his 33 PU, I think its a Sealy posture-pedic ... Hehehehehe

Can't wait

 

It's almost here and the weather looks like it will be nice!
Can't wait!

 

Counting down!

 

I am blown away!!!

I just got the final pre-registration list...it is almost ONE HUNDRED CARS!!!

We are gonna have a great turnout.

We have gone the extra mile this year to make sure everyone will have a great time.

Thanks to everyone who pre-registered.

See you Saturday

 

Hey guys & gals, don't forget to plan on bringing a little something for the troops. It is for a good cause.

Bart

 

Transylvania Holeshot is a Go!

 

Yes! the power brokers worked out a deal today to have T-Holeshot perform at Manifolds on Main.

They go on a around noon, then The Jungle Rockers followed by Big Daddy Alright just before awards.

What a line up!

Bart

 

Right on!

 

the paint's drying on new work as we speak! can't wait to set up and vend, vend, vend! Turn Irving upside down!

 

wish I could be there. I'm in Houston.....my Dad's having surgery at MD Anderson right now and I'll probably be here through the weekend at least. I can't wait to see pics from the show though. Bart is a great guy and really works hard to put on a quality car show.

 

Any problems getting in if we show up around 12 or 1, and are pre registered? Going to try to be there by 11, but just in case we can't, jusk asking.
