Before attending Speed Week at Bonneville this past August, I had no idea what El Mirage was. But once the land speed racing bug gets ya, it gets ya bad. So rather then waiting until next year to drive out to Bonneville salt flats again I decided to check out another SCTA event, the 2009 [...]
Whoever came up with the idea to set up an event that would demonstrate the abilities of the cars being showcased at SEMA was a genius! And that’s exactly what the Optima Invitational is all about. Happening the day after SEMA ends, it gives people a chance to put their “money where their mouth is” [...]
We’ve never figured out why, but for some odd reason humans are always transfixed at the tragedies of others. Its why car accidents cause so much traffic havoc – we all have to stop and look as we drive by (grrrrr)! Racing is no different. When something goes wrong on the racetrack we all wanna [...]
I am on the Utah Cobra Club’s email list and got this email this last week. I thought I’d pass it on to you charitable hot rodders. I’ll find out more about how we can send donations to Kirkham and update this later.
Fellow Car Nuts:
A few weeks ago a friend of mine came by and [...]
Optima Red or Yellow top? I bet you’ve got it wrong!
If you missed the other stories about SEMA 2009, then you didn’t read how Optima Batteries brought up car and truck enthusiasts for a “round table” of sorts to find out what’s happening with their customers. Great idea, right? MyRideisMe.com, through Grease Girl and me, [...]
If you wanna know what “My Ride is Me” is all about, this car shows the spirit perfectly. This is like the 3rd look for this car in the last year or two from what I understand.
This ride is super low, clear coated metal, and a cool tigershark paintjob.
The owner of this 5 series BMW, [...]

At SEMA, it’s easy to find a great car, they’re in almost every booth! But like the 70 Chevelle with a Duramax diesel motor, it’s a the different and sometimes unique builds that really get my attention. That’s what I found in this “Painless” Roadster Pickup.
This style of roadster pickup, also called a “Truckster” was [...]
Amazing hot rod art done by Alan Brightmore. People these are NOT black and white photos, they’re hand drawn sketches that amazingly look like older photos when they’re done. Pictures and text by Alan… Check it out!
First up, this hot rod was done for a customer who saw my VW Bus parked at work! [...]
It’s been a while since I last drew anything and I really need to get back into it! Full time work gets in the way these days and when I do get time off I end up busy with other stuff so I thought I’d dig out some commissioned drawings I did some time ago to [...]
One of the first things I saw Saturday morning as I arrived at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch was this Factory Five built, black 1933 Ford Coupe. I was worried it would be all about Camaro’s and other muscle cars during the Optima Invitational Ultimate Street Car Challenge – but seeing this smooth coupe roll across [...]
Run to the Pines – 2009
The 26th annual “Run to the Pines” car show was this past September 25th, 26th, & 27th, up in Pinetop, Arizona. It’s a great getaway for a fun car show up in the cool pines. We had a good time, as usual, and the weather was perfect! The car show [...]
Cruising what I call the main hall of the SEMA show, it’s fantastic to see the great rides that make SEMA, the parts show, become SEMA the car show. Featuring the best built cars and timeless classics, it’s a mix of some of the best rides in the country. I stayed close to “Hot Rod [...]
1964 Fairlanes will always be one of my favorites. At one time, Pops owned a Blue one, Mom’s was white and mine was my high school driver called, “The Highway Bitch”. Red, white and blue, we loved our 64’s. Pops still has his and is done up Pro-street with a small block Ford and big-fatties [...]
