For those of you guys who don't know, Oct 23&24 is gonna be an awesome weekend for car guys, and if you can make it down to Florida you wont be disappointed. Sat. the 23rd is Rats n Rods at the Don Garlits museum of drag racing.(don't let the name fool you, this is not a rat rod show. Rats refers to "swamp rat"). The last of these shows was great and the museum itself is worth the drive. The following day, 2 hours south, is Billetproof Drags. If you didn't go last year you really missed out. For those of you who missed the HAMB drags here's your chance for redemption. Both of these shows are more than "lawn chair in the sun events". Sat night in Tampa(the halfway point) there will be a post Rats n Rods, pre Drags party featuring Nad's band Big Jeff Special.

Here are some more details for the Sat. night event. It will be happening at Ella's Folk Art Cafe. The entertainment is Big Jeff Special.Ella's is a HAMBer owned restaurant/bar with a folk art theme. It's great for dinner with family or having drinks with your friends. There will be some parking reserved for Hot Rods(prime spots will go quick). The restaurant serves dinner at 5pm and the music cranks up at 10:30.
