    Saturday (4/10/25) I went to Horton Race Cars annual picnic where there were a number of outstanding rail dragsters, primarily from the 60s-70s, lined up in a row. It was a great opportunity to see some cars I had heard about in my youth and the bonus was to get to hear them fire up and run...

    Thanks, Tom! Those machines are works of art. I see that you captured The Nightstalker and his new/ old rig while there, too.

    Tom, over the years I have been fortunate enough to attend a lot of J. Ed's BBQ's, Brenda and I can't attend anymore since Mother's Day weekend is huge for her business, it looks like they still have a big turn out.

    Did any hot rods & customs show up? HRP

    Here's a shot of the 3 window's interior. 'A bit "street roddy" but don't it look comfortable?

    A 3 window with 3 pedals, A little street roddy on the inside but like ol' Anthony say's, "I'd drive it!"

    I think our ol' pal Randy would call it a "Gentlemen's hot rod". HRP
