We just got back from traveling along with the West Coast tour group on the last leg of Rod & Custom Magazine�s Americruise to Lincoln, Nebraska. Editors Kevin Lee and Jim Aust were the tour leaders, with Jim leading the way in Roy Brizio�s blue 32 Highboy roadster. Had a great time in spite of heat that reached 104 degrees on Monday for the trip back. There were three wonderful event days at the fairgrounds there, July 28-30, 2006...Rod & Custom had performance tests for the cars competing for their Rod of the Year and Custom of the Year awards, and somewhere around 2000 cars attending the event. The pics included here are from the tour and reception held for Americruise rodders at the Smith Collection Museum on Saturday night. �Speedy Bill� Smith and his wonderful wife Joyce are super hosts, and the museum just blew our socks off! I asked if we could share these photos with the Hot Rod Hotline audience and was told it would be fine. These are two wonderful people who really give back to the rodding community through the fabulous museum. Enjoy the pics!
