"The Hill Country Street Rods club from Austin, Texas has been putting on this "Show And Go Nostalgia Drags" for quite some time now. It's a chance to not only show off how stylish your rod is, but also how good it runs!! With bracket racing and a car show competition, this one has something for everyone, and the cars were lined up early waiting for the gates to open.

The Temple-Academy Dragway is a historic Central Texas dragstrip dating back to the early days of drag racing, and, nestled under huge pecan trees along the banks of the Little River, it's a great place to spend the day with the family and a picnic. Or, if you're as lazy as I am, the snack bar makes a great burger and fries!

Many of the area clubs make this an annual cruise event.  Thanks to the guys at Hill Country Street Rods....nice job as usual."  Richard "Too Low" Haas
