You sit there sipping a Mai Tai and enjoying the view as the North shore waves crash on the sandy beach just forward of where you chose to park your ass for the day. In the distance and off to the side, you can hear some poor sap talking up a native chick with perfect [...]

The H.A.M.B. Drag Nationals & More!
Well fellas… It’s certainly that time of year – ain’t it? Speed Week is upon us and the H.A.M.B. Drag Nationals is just right around the corner. As such, I figured now was as good a time as any to make an announcement. See, we’ve been working for a few months at making this year’s [...]
Moving On Up
I woke up this morning feeling a bit nostalgic. See, The Jalopy Journal as a company took a big step last week. No longer are we based out of the house in a small office that doubled as a guest bedroom. Nope. Instead, we are based out of a tiny steel building located down a [...]
The Gear Journal
For the last month or so I’ve been working on a new site and community. The Gear Journal is essentially dedicated to the gear and gadgets that folks carry everyday to make their lives easier. We plan to focus on things like watches, knives, wallets, packs, guns, flashlights, and other “every day carry” items that [...]
Army of Juan
I’m on the road handling some business and haven’t been able to grab much computer time for the last few days. That in mind, it’s high likely that this post is doubling up on another… BUT, I felt like I just had to post it anyway. See, I’ve developed a serious passion for Deadend Magazine [...]
Pre-Registration: The Drags & The Revo…
It’s 1961. You arrive at your local drag strip early as this isn’t a typical test and tune. Tommy Ivo and “Big Daddy” Don Garlits are match racing and the whole county has shown up to welcome the out-of-towners. Once in, you notice the whole joint has been spiffed up to impress the big timers [...]
Whiskey Toots, Straight Up…
During that summer of 1956, you learned that the life of a grocery delivery boy isn’t all doom and gloom. You learned that putting the right perspective on things can lead to all kinds of opportunity. You learned that “your drink” is whiskey… straight up… You learned that cool is just plain cool – no [...]
The 2009 Jalopy Journal & H.A.M.B. Shirts
It’s 1956. You’re a delivery kid for a grocery store and you’re headed to drop off a bag of sirloins to that big house on the ritzy side of town. You arrive and the hot broad that lives there greets you at the door wearing only a see through nighty and a smile. She notices [...]
The Latest Soup Up
You know what I love about Soup Up Magazine? It’s very regional… The fellas are from Texas and they have no problems with that coming through in the “book.” I love that. The latest issue features Winfield’s old shop truck (now in Texas), some vintage Texas drag racing photography, and some Texas car show coverage [...]
