Last night at the monthly of the Knytes-of-Anarchy , an idea was floated that has had my head swimming all damn day today.
In recent years although I have not shown at any area or even regional rod & Custom show, besides the fact nothing too show, but the other has been conflicting dates of shows. In March each year three area ISCA points shows happen within a very few days of each other. The Lewiston AutoRama, the Boise Roadster Show and what used to be billed as the Salt Lake City AutoRama, aka Championship Auto Shows Utah AutoRama, all as I said hit within days of each other. Which makes it a real barn burner to get to each show, participate, tear down your diorama , go to the next show on the schedule, show there, tear down, haul tail to the next. Unless your also going for land speed records with a haul truck and trailer with your custom stuffed inside, you have got to give up one show, which means at least a few ISCA points as well.
In years gone by, back in the day when Mickey Ellis produced the AutoRama, in SLC, the event hit predictably the weekend right before Thanksgiving, every year. It was at the Salt Palace in the middle of SLC instead of way yonder in Sandy at the South Town Expo Center, and the show had rods, customs, etc. It wasn’t a 3 – 1/2 day vendors show with a few hot rods thrown in for good measure. It was the other way around. Custom builders even those building out of their garage aside the house, were the stars, not the damn vendors. Sure I dig having to have a few sponsors to pay the bills of the show, but damn it , I’d pay a higher entry fee if they’d decrease the amount of sponsors/vendors and increase the rods, customs, bikes, trucks, etc.
To whit; The Hazzard County Knytes-aka Knytes-of-Anarchy, have been brainstorming all day on the idea, of renting the same amount of exhibit hall space as the original AutoRama, and stage the show at the Salt Palace, the weekend before Thanksgiving, except give the thing a new name, the Hazzard Nationals. In essence a Dukes fan gang bang, along with one heck of a home grown , and built custom show. Call it an old skool custom show that takes us back to when the rods and rydes were the focus, and life was a bit less stressful, if even for 3 –1/2 days, before Thanksgiving each year. Yes the AutoRama, like it used to be, when it was what was classed as a 6 A or top regional show, where championship points were hot as heck and could take you to the Grand Finale . The Oakland Roadster Show.
We’d like to do it in 2012, but an event with this much gunpowder will take at least a year to organize, produce and execute. But expect it in November 2013 , when I hope to be living in Utah once again. More on that in a few miles, In the meanwhile, this is going to be a ride.
Okay then, as I pull out of the Truck Stop headed home, I got to thinking, you know as much as it pains me, if you notice all the hot and not so hot Caucasian women hooking up with all these Mexican guys? Right? True a bunch of that is to help some of those Latino guys get their green cards, but even so, would this work in reverse? Us truckin males going after the hot and mildly hot Mexican Chiquita’s.
Watch here Sunday for more 411.
Until L8R Ya’ll
