    The best weekend ever started out on Thursday with Flat-top, Norm Grabowski and I rolling to Kontinental bro Reggie (Hotwheels) Shop.
    There we meet up with Reggie and alleycat to head out to Reggies old Buddy Billy Merker(?)(hope I got the Billys last name right) killer garage for a Taylor Texas Hot Rod tradition.

    The tradition of the Thirsty Thursday or the Thursday night prayer meeting. Every Thursday the guys meet at Billys place to knock back some cool ones, bench race and work on their rides. What a bunch of great folks too!!!

    It's a great time topped off by Billys INCREDIBLE garage that should be a Texas state museum!
    He has so much killer stuff it'll make your head spin.

    I let the pics do the talking.

    He also has a great collection of old drag plaques from clubs around central Texas.

    The Taylor guys have recently resurrected the Thunderbolts CC
    an original Taylor TX club.

    Looks like old Normie-poo was reliving his role from Hooper!

    Thursty Thirsdays - hicup - sounds like a good tradition.
