It might just be the economy sucks and has for about what 5 or 6 years now... from what I hear its bad everywhere but Texas and Washington DC. So it might be the place to be hot rodding right now LOL Now that I think about it the car shows are down across the board here. There are the same guys that have been setting up on the same corner for 15 years now, week in and week out. LOL But I think it is much less of a turn out now than just a few years ago. It doesn't matter at all just an observation.
