Eastern Hot Rodder

Paradise Dragstrip in Calhoun, GA is a way cool retro drag way that has changed very little since Otto built it back in the early '60s. They do regular weekly drags, but host a Show & Go car show, swap meet and drags about 4 times a season. It is a fun time. This one was the fall 2024 event. It was a bit smaller than the last one, but still a good day out.

We take a drive up to Andrews, NC to partake in their annual Christmas On Main cruise In and block party. Man, it was packed with vendors this year. They took up the whole main drag. The cruise was a block long and, though not big, was full of some great cars and people.

Skunked! nearly 2 weeks later and Holley stink stinks a bit.

So a few of my students and I helped out the Trip-County Early College Theater students by making a few props for their up coming show. In turn, they surprised me with a 2 minute voice over commercial. Jefferson is an aspiring (and dang good) voice over actor. The commercial came out so good I decided to put video to it in time to help promote out fundraiser car show. It will be this Sunday, October 29th, from 1-5 at the Cherokee Co. School of Innovation in Murphy, NC. We are raising money to kick off a kit car building program for the students. The show is looking to be big. The students are excited. They made 18 trophies and with any luck we will have custom T-shirts ready for show day. If you happen to be within a couple hours of our school stop in and support these kids and our new program. Be there or be square, Cruise, don't schmooze. We got some awesome and talented kids in out schools over here in the western corner of North Carolina.
