It's a small affair hosted by the local fire department every year. I was at work during the show, but luckily it was just a block away and I was able to check it out on my lunch break. I just wish I had had my real camera with me.

I apologize for the horrible framing in a few of these. The crowds and the location made it a bit hard to get far enough away from the cars.

And this Lincoln was runner-up.

A Cummins Turbo-diesel powered Cadillac?!

Kinja'd!!!

An old stock car of some sort. There was no plaque or poster but the car must have some local history, as that logo on the bumper and hood belongs to a local liquor store.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Anybody want to explain that funky wheel hub to me?

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Then there's this thing. I actually witnessed it parking and "dropping".

Cool show. I assume the Wilwood hubs are on the drive axle of a race car.

So what's the big red thing in the middle?

Probably an dust cap, or some sort of seal (I think these oil instead of grease)

Beats the hell out of me, man.. I'm looking this stuff up out of curiosity.

Could be a dust cap, could be a drive plate? I don't know. See what Wilwood has on their website.
