Event Coverage Billetproof Texas 2010 Day 1 pics

Nothing but rat hots, no one showed up, no one had a good time, the music sucked... no way to have a good time. just kidding

 

Gee choptop you must have been at some other show.(just kiddin)

I was at BILLETPROOF and although the car count was down,I for one enjoyed myself. The vehicles were great and Junior Brown .well that was just too kool. I am looking forward to see what tomorrow brings.will be there bright and early so if you get a chance stop by and say hey. I promise I wont jump down your throat.just look for the old ugly yellow 46 ford.

 

Drag Racing History. the original builder of this survivor gasser. stop by ask him a few questions, learn a thing or two about the early days of drag racing. Ya might learn a thing or twelve.

 

looks good. cant wait till washington!!!

 

Drag Racing History. the original South LA and East Texas face or Drag Racing. If you went to a drag race from the begining of Drag Racing to the mid 70's in the area you were timed by the gear in this truck. This is the first time its been to a car show... ever. It hasnt seen the light of day in 30 years. Oh yes... the Christmas Tree is the very first one that Big Daddy left the line using.

 

some guy with a "Guit-Steel" showed up and played. If he keeps practicing he might have a future in the music business

You can watch him practice at the Continental Club on Sunday nights for the next couple of weeks (see how I snuck in the plug for his gig? Huh? did ya? *elbow to the ribs*)





in all seriousness.... Junior Brown ROCKED!!!

He will be playing at the Continental Club on Sunday nights for the next couple of weeks and I HIGHLY recommend ya'll get down there and see a guitar legend in action.

 

I was there the crowd was small but the cars still rocked.

 

DAMMIT DAMMITT DAMMIT... i HATED MISSING THIS SHOW AGAIN THIS YEAR BUT COULD NOT MISS MY STATE CERTIFICATE QUALIFIER TEST... NOW MISSING THE THE MAN PLAY LIKE THAT.... DAMMIT DAMMITDAMMIT.

 

That truck is way cool.

 

do you honestly think the guy with the modern mustang was part of the "show"? Really? How about all the modern pick up trucks? Dont you think that those MIGHT have been vendor cars? Dont you thing the trailers belonged to the race cars that were there? Here is a hint, we didnt register the golf cart either.

But like I say, if the effort you put into getting to the show is not worth the fun you get out of it... then its not for you... VALID criticism is fine... but this kind of stuff? simply wow.

 

Always a complainer.....

 

the only truck that came into the show on a trailer was a Hudson pickup... Certainly not a rat rod. And only the because it is unfinished and was part of a vendors display. If some else unloaded a car outside the show.... There ain't much we can do about that

If where a vendor parks his car late inthe day, or 1-2 cars that sneak in outside the rules ruin the experience for ya, perhaps cars show just ain't your thing. Because it happens at EVERY show.

 

Grrrrrrrrrrr...Then don't Go!

LONG LIVE BILLETPROOF!!!

 

Again, thanks!!! always someone going too be the little BITCH about something!!!! Thanks for the pictures!!!!

 

Some good looking cars at the show. Thanks for posting the pictures!

 

Thanks for posting the pics. My brother and I were there for a few hours yesterday and had a very good time. To be honest I can't really imagine what anyone is complaining about. The cars, people, food, music and setting were all excellent. I was sitting listening to the music and eating a barbecue sandwhich when some old guy (60ish like me) rumbled on by in a hemi-powered '29-30 coupe wearing a big grin and it just made me realize how cool the whole thing was. Of course, that is just me. I wanted to spend the day at a good car show and I did. I don't know where some of the people posting negative comments thought they were going.

 

CHOPTOP...RAT ROD'S, NO FUN? and i thaught i was screwed up. brother you need some of my MEDICATION, it won't help your eyesight but i will definately help your TUDE...POP.

 

HEY WAYOUT...If you don't showup, how will they ever make it! HA!...POP.

 

So what did you drive?

 

I guess I need to put a smilie next to that post... I was being sarcastic

 

I had a good time, and met some awesome people. Thanks Alan. And Like he always says, he just opens the gate, it's up to the rest of us to make the show.

 

same thing I was thinking.... kept studying that sucker!

 

i came rolling up on a minibike at the end of the burnouts, and made like i had left all the burning rubber at the request of a few still hanging around... several folks shot some images... any of those floating around? curious to know how it all looked with my fat ass out there on that bike...

 

Great show as always Alan I have never been to a bad billetproof. I spent the day jumping from tent to tent to tent just hanging out and meeting people. Cant wait till next year.........sorry there where no more Hellions than there where we will fix that for next year

 

Thanks for the image...!!! Here are a few I shot...

 

Cool show. Love the burnouts!
