Pictures By Walt Smolenski

 I left work on Friday a couple of hours early and picked up my retired buddies Carl & Charlie and we headed south on I-91 to Hartford, Ct. for the 51st Frank Maratta Auto Show. We got there a little early and I passed out discount coupons I had snagged from Town Fair Tire to a bunch of people waiting to get in to the show like we were.

 All of a sudden as I was taking pictures a booming voice from behind me said "What are you doing with that camera?" Any guesses as to whom it might be? You should have it in ONE guess 'cuz he's Everywhere! Of course it was "Big Al" who had already taken all his pictures and was enjoying some camaraderie with some of his buddies and a Cold Bud Lite. We talked for quite a while and he told me of his upcoming venture as a partner of the Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car "The Frantic Ford". Al had been involved with Funny Cars before and is looking forward to the upcoming Drag Racing Season.

 The show was good, but my buddies and I were a little disappointed as there were so many stock cars, karts and legend cars there instead of street rods, muscle cars and classics. We still had a good time and are looking forward to the upcoming shows. I'll be at some of them with camera in hand to share my pictures - Hope you enjoy them!
