"The two most anticipated events of the year (at least by me) are the Lone Star Round Up and the Vintage Air Open House. This past weekend was the Vintage Air gathering and it was even bigger and better than last year. This one seems to draw out the "real" hot rodders.....more into driving their rod somewhere than showing it. Besides over a hundred fine rides, a tour of the facility and a great Bar-B-Q feast, this year we had the opportunity to hear Alex Xydias (founder of So-Cal Speed Shop) reminisce about the "old days" of hot rodding. What an icon! There were several drag cars on display and even a miniature "cackle fest" when they made everyones eyes burn while their ears listened to that sweeet sound of un-muffled exhaust! Good thing the Lone Star Round Up is only a couple weeks away! The Vintage Air get-together makes you want more!!!" Richard "Too Low" Haas, Texas Correspondent
