NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville  August  2009

    We always look forward to Louisville....   this was Hotrodhotline.com’s   11th Year Exhibiting....  How time flies when you’re having fun !   It’s almost unbelievable that it was back in 1999 that we first went to Louisville.       There are so many things we love about Louisville.....   of course seeing so many good friends is always first on the list .... but we also enjoy the  energy at the show created by so many new products being shown and all of the vendors showing off their wares.  It’s without a doubt the largest exhibition of  Street Rod parts in the country.      Jack is always interested in “What’s  New”  so he heads right off to the New Products Showcase every year.  Here’s  some of what we saw this year along with some of the exhibitors and  friends visiting with Hotrodhotline.com

Al and MA 3 2009 005 Al and crew 2  2009 007

   Big A Liebmann came by everyday to check up on “the girls”.....  we have such a great time when Big Al’s around....  it’s really just great to see him at Louisville !

  Donna and Darryl Starbird are among the finest in our industry....  they have contributed so much to our hobby !   If you’re ever in Oklahoma you really need to stop in at the Darryl Starbird museum.....  we’ll be getting information soon  about the great car show they put on every year and that fabulous award....  so stay tuned for all the latest from the Starbirds !  www.DarrylStarbird.com

Hey look who’s  here... it’s  Sam Memmolo...  it only took us 3 cameras to get this shot... guess we were technologically challenged that day !   Sam’s a great friend and  a true  “gasoline in the veins”  car guy....  check out what’s going on with him at  www.ShadeTreeMechanic.com    

jack maryann dale

And look who came all the way from Australia.... our fab  Roving Reporter  Dale Peucker....  he came along with friend Peter and they have been having a great tour of the US  Car spots  .. it was so fun to meet them and spend some time together.... 

  We think the  the best story of the whole show is right here...  It’s  Ken Appleby and his grandson  Ryan .... from  our town... Boise, Idaho.  They drove to the Nationals in  Kens  32 Ford Roadster....    WHAT A TRIP !   Through  rain and hail and floods and all....  in a 32 Roadster... but look at the smile on that kids face !  This is a trip he’ll never forget with his grandpa ....  so remember how important it is to take a kid to a car show.....   important to our hobby.... and very important to that kid !    Great seeing our friends from Boise all the way in Louisville.

   In addition to all of the comraderie that we love so much at Louisville....  there’s  the CAR STUFF too... and Jack is always excited to see the new products that have come online during the year.  Jack took a tour of the New Product Exhibit where companies are vying for the Best New Product of the Year awards.  Take a look.  For links to these companies go to the bottom of this page.  Click the photos for a Larger View...
