HotRodHotLine.com would like to thank all of our roving reporters for your support and the phenomenal amount of shows that you sent to us this past year. It has been a pleasure to put these shows on our site. We look forward to 2009.

As we were going through the shows of 2008 we discovered “Big Al” Liebmann was on the scene at over 50 shows this past year, taking thousands of pictures. He even went to Aruba to take pictures for us, ( I wonder how far he will go this year) so as a thank you we decided to do a re-cap of his shows. Thanks Al!
