HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK |
||||||
|
The Syracuse Nationals are over, and a fine time was had by all. Artie's Party raised a truly wonderful sum for the Central New York Ronald McDonald house, thanks to some truly talented pinstripers and of course, the Frantic Ford team, and our very own Big Al. Next on our travel agenda is the NSRA Street Rod Nationals Plus in Kentucky July 31-August 3. Come say hi if you're making your own pilgrimage to this annual event. This week we bring you Gunner's tale of a small town revitalized through a car show, a "summer re-run" column from Richard Parks and Roger Rohrdanz, and a memorial to Mike Alexander. We also have an answer from Hot Rod M.D. Jim Clark to a question posed by a reader regarding one of Jim's articles on the brake system in the F100. Check out the addition to the article and Jim's sage advice. Have questions? Been to a show? Got a ride, a road, or a garage to share? E-mail us at [email protected] and let us know! - The Staff at Hot Rod Hotline |
