oulled from the hamb
It dawned on me that we never made an official announcement this year!
Yep, it's less than 4 months until the 5th Annual Hunnert Car Pileup, the Midwest's Greasiest Car Show! Nothing but traditional hot rods and customs... and, of course, music ...and food ...and dancing ...and drinking ...and shopping!!!
October 14, 2006 in Morris, IL, just a bit SW of Chicago
If you're unfamiliar with the show, it's hosted by the Chrome Czars Motor Club (Chicago), with help from a LOT of friends (like the Blacktop Barons, Suedes, and Voodoo Kings).
When we say "traditional hot rods and customs" we mean it! If it doesn't meet the criteria listed on the website, it ain't getting in! I also need to note that we snugged up the criteria this year, so just because you got in last year, doesn't mean you'll get in this year. Basically, we just defined things more clearly... no more art cars or stock/stock-looking cars will be allowed in.
The Voodoo Kings Car Club will be hosting a flame throwing show again this year and we're trying to organize a DRAG RACE the day after the Pileup (Sunday, 10/15) for Pileup attendees... Put Up or Shut Up, dig? But we don't have anything definite yet. You'll know as soon as we know!
We're also working with PeterPanofChicago to try (again) to plan a Pinstripers event. We'll add details as soon as we have something solid. Hopefully it won't be so cold this year.
Of course we, once again, have a killer musical lineup:
Friday night (10/13):
Hot Rod Hucksters... Mine, Django, and OleMuleSkinner's band... (rockabilly; Chicago/Joliet)
and
Psychobilly Kadillaks (classic country drinking band; Chicago-ish)
Saturday at the Pileup (10/14):
Ace Brown & His Helldivers (rockabilly from Ohio)
and
Baron Von Otto Matic (surf from Iowa)
and
Hillbilly Idle (rockabilly; Chicago)
Saturday Nite:
The Goldstars (60's garage rock... sometimes with Go-Go girls; Chicago)
and
The Stranger (punk; Chicago)

Some of the vendor info is wrong. We're working on correcting the site. Tables and chairs will be available for rent to vendors.
FOUR MONTHS... so get wrenching! (or saving your gas money)
