Newbe from Independence MO

For the guys asking about Greaserama. It's an event held at the Blvd drive in theater in Kansas City, Ks every Labor Day weekend. It's a show put on by the Los Punk Rods car club. It was a reaction to the Good Guys car show that is held the same weekend. Not everyone has a $100k to drop into their rides, so they opened it up to everyone (almost) but the high dollar crowd.

It features mostly hand built cars that some would consider "rat rods" but that term is played out. These are unique cars and trucks that people have built in their garage on a limited budget. Most cars are unfinished (are they ever really finished?) but are welcome just the same. You have to look closely at each car closely cause the clapped out truck you just walked past might feature an air ride suspension and late model running gear!!

The people watching is another reason to go. Fifties and sixties style everywhere! Greased back hair, tats galore (boys and girls), punk-a-billy bands playin, beer carts sellin cheap beer. It's a good time!! We'll be there Sunday afternoon, same as the last four years.

Here is a link to the website...
