And so it begins...

Event Coverage: BBBS Car Show in Salina, KS

As far as I know this was a first time event. Over 100 rides showed up to this free car show held in the South parking lot of Salina's Central Mall next to JC Pennys. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Salina put the show on and with the exception of needing a bit more room for the photos to look good, but that's me being picky :).

Coming up at this year's KKOA Leadsled Spectacular...

Chad Kolman's stunning 47 Buick at the 2012 Leadsled Spectacular, this ride won the coveted 777 Award last year. 

Upcoming Event: Salina Tech Vehicle Extravaganza

The 3rd annual Salina Tech Vehicle Extravaganza is going down in Salina, KS on April 6, 2013 at the Salina Tech Campus (click here for a map).  Registration info and more on their Facebook page.

Now to be honest, I can't make it as I'll be in Austin for the Lonestar Roundup, but if you can get to Salina you should be there! I've been able to attend twice in 2010 and 2012, check the slideshows below to see some of the show through my eyes.

2012

If you can make it, go! Enjoy the show, take some photos to share with folks that couldn't and if you have a good time make sure people know you did, that's how we grow these shows, that's how we grow this hobby/lifestyle.

See you at a show,

Travis

2012 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular DVD by Vintage Torque

For the last 3 years John Wells of Vintage Torque DVD's has filmed the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular in Salina, KS and created a DVD of the weekend. For the whole run I've provided John with photos to use as a slideshow at the end of the DVD.

Here's the trailer for the 2012 edition:

Heading out today for the 3rd Annual Mid Decembrrrr Run

So as I sit here typing we're a couple of hours away from the 3rd Annual Mid Decembrrrr Run. Folks from hundreds of miles away are now on their way to Salina, KS to meet up and go on a long drive in our classic cars. It's been a really good time so far, hopefully this year is too!

This will be it as far as 2012 goes for me and my cameras. It's been a fantastic year, went new places, met new people and had a great time throughout it all. For 2012 there are 33 galleries with 7,987 photos so far, whew, my shutter finger is tired! To see them all go here: http://royboyproductions.smugmug.com/Cars/2012
Some of my favorites are

Fuel Altered "Black Mariah" doing a smoky burnout at the 2012 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular, see more from that weekend here.


Twin Hemi'd rail doing a smoky burnout at the 2012 KKOA Leadsled Spectacular, see more from that weekend here.

About a year ago I joined Instagram, it's been a fun way to give new life to some old photos and spread the word about what it is that I do here. http://instagram.com/royboyprods is where you can find those photos if you are not already on Instagram.

Have a great weekend, I'm off with a bunch of my rod/kustom friends for a road trip. Merry Christmas and I'll see you at a show,

Travis
