More news from Texas..

 The wonders of modern I phones....Les, Charlie, and Graeme went a few hours south today, to the town of Boerne, Texas, to see a small rod show...here's the first pic.....while we were sleepimg...they were photo taking for us!.....
 Friday night, Les went to the drags at Kennedale, a little 1/8th mile track in Fort Worth.....this was after having been at a mall car show deal...lots to do in Texas!
 The Stude is owned by our hot rod friend, Tim Cruise....goes 4.5sec in the 1/8th mile.
 Here's the mall car show....it opens about 3 on Friday afternoons ...they just block off a section of the car park, and in come the cars...usually 100 or more.....all types!
 Nice roadster...looks like a resto with just a bit of hot up goodies..
 Here's Charlie trying to sell one of his cars, a mid 90s Corvette....
 Chris Dansie sent these pics from the Delta River Run.....nice straight tudor.
 Seeing all these smaller runs...makes you wonder just how many cars are out there, and how big the sport is in America....thousands of cars that you would rarely see in any magazine coverage...Chris and Heather have lots more pics from their trip...so I will try to borrow and blog some more for you.
 This was at Goodguys, Texas....nice detail...look at the wild radiator hose connection.
 Patina...real or fake...hard to tell, sometimes.
Would you believe....Les knows Big Al Leibman from when he crewed on Denshams funy car.....Al lives in New York, but happened to be in Texas on business....and they ran into each other at the mall car show!!..Al regularly posts on www.Hotrodhotline.com
