"The Bastrop Area Cruisers are a very active club, putting on several first rate car shows and doing them well. One of my favorite shows in the Austin Area is in conjunction with the McDade Texas Watermelon Thump, and this show is also put on by the Bastrop Area Cruisers.

We all knew it was going to rain (will it ever stop!) but, while the threat of bad weather did stop a few folks from coming out, it was still a pretty good car show. Did I mention that it rained?

There were close to 50 or so cars to check out (down by about 50%), plenty of good Bar-B-Q, ice cold watermelon, lots of craft vendors, and some serious tire kickin'. Here are some of the cars driven by the REAL hot rodders who don't let weather get in the way!"
