Too Low and his T-Bird

Too Low's T-Bird

" The Kontinentals of Austin are strictly an Old School car club, so it's only natural that they put on an annual nostalgia drags. Steve Wertheimer, owner of the Continental Club in Austin organized this year's get together, which was by far the biggest yet and featured a fine crop of every kind of hot rod there is.

Little River drag strip dates back to the early days and is a scenic spot for sure, but if you're running through the quarter mile, make sure your brakes are good 'cause shut down space is scarce!

The weather was as good as it gets and the folks in Central Texas were ready to get out for this event. Not only were they treated to some great old style drag racing, but the whole area was a huge car show too! I hope y'all enjoy the photo's." Too Low
