A few of the cars from a very hot day in Wichita, Kansas. Just got back and I am looking forward to a better venue and one that is much closer to home tomorrow. The only downside is that it will be just as hot as it was today (100+).

Obligatory Buick Grand National photo

Yes, ratchet straps holding the alternator of the Grand National in the photo above. Road-fix.

No, this is not an illusion. That is in fact a chopped/channeled Ford Ranger.

Stubby Bob

An Oppo-naught sighting

Many more photos to come tomorrow!

I work just down the street from there. Whaddaya mean better venue? You mean you don’t just love not having adequate parking?

Capri! Nice MK 1. The MK III grille looks nice in there.

I recognize the bobbed Ford from Roadkill:

A weed-choked and pock-marked parking lot of a defunct dog-racing track doesn’t make for the best venue. Just sayin’

That Ford Capri looks amazing.

The ratchet straps dont hold the alternator, they keep the motor from torquing and the downpipe from hitting the a arm..

The decaying dog track that was then-Governor Graves’ great idea. You know, let’s make like 4 of them in the state of Kansas and then act all surprised when they lose money and get shuttered and just sit there and rot. But, great idea!

Ah, that makes way more sense!

Isn’t that the coliseum in the background ?

Also, sweet Capri.

I am not from Kansas, I must admit. I apologize and it appears that is the Coliseum and it was held in the parking lot. Registration and guest parking was at the dog track.

Sorry if I came off wrong, I wasn’t trying to be a dick. I just recognized the building, I went there to watch monster trucks, the ball of death, and Robosaurus as a kid.

No worries, I moved to KS as a teen and then moved away after college and only moved back here in 2012. So my Kansas knowledge is fuzzy, and that combined with a day spent in the heat equals confusion.

Haha. I was born here, moved away at age 7, moved back for college in 2011, and I’m about a week from moving away again now that I’ve graduated.

Nice pics! Are you driving in the tour? If so, what are you driving?

And do you have more pics of that huge bus thing?

I didn’t make it yesterday, left work too late. Joining the drive to KC this morning and the show in KC today. Look for a sliver ecoboost mustang, license plate CAMERO

Yup, I had read your post about the trailer/bus and so when we got to Wichita I looked for it since it was a pretty cool build. Nice job and glad to see you made it through the entire tour!
