We do have many really great roving reporters around the US, Canada and the world.... and they send us so many great pictures to share with you ..... BUT... there are some areas of the US where we are a little shy of coverage ... so we’re calling on Rodders in Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, and Missouri and Kansas ... to send us your show and cruise in pictures. You know our readers love to see what’s going on in these areas but we just don’t get much from these States. If you’re in these areas and would like to share pictures... we can provide you with passes to paid shows, Hotrodhotline shirts, and “your name in lights” ... just kidding .... your name will not be in lights... just at the top of our show coverage. :-) Email for info to [email protected]
