3rd ANNUAL AEROS & AUTOS
at Ellington Airport
Houston, Texas
May 7, 2011
Photos By the Leal Bros.

Although I love nostalgic drag racing and enjoy reading about the early days of drag racing, I have to say that I wasn’t around when early drag racing events were held on old air strips. If you think about it though, it was a pretty good choice. The “track” was already there, the area was already inaccessible to the public for safety reasons of course and there was ample room for competitors and spectators. The Aeros & Autos Show down here in Houston is also held at an existing air field and although I’m not old enough to get “flashbacks”, the “old days” do cross my mind every time I attend this show. Now every time only equals three since it’s the third annual event but in those three short years, it’s become one of the area’s

largest and more popular outdoor shows. And why wouldn’t it? It literally has something for everyone. Besides the good looking cars and trucks, vintage and current aircraft are also on display. Local law enforcement and local race tracks are in attendance with interesting displays and information. For the kids there’s face painting and moonwalks. For people with big appetites (like myself!), there’s plenty of food including turkey legs, Hooters wings and lots more plus a covered area to sit and enjoy it. Like I said before it’s one of the best shows that I cover during the year and I cover at least a dozen shows a year, sometimes more! So enjoy the images below and hopefully I’ll see you there next year if you’re in the area.
