Words and photos by Mike Ruth and Eileen Orlowski

Rick Brown built this tribute to his dad and uncle. It is a replica of the ‘Mighty Mouse II"
that his Dad drove in the seventies. This car was a familiar sight at many of the local tracks.

38 Chevy had so many custom touches we lost count

The US 41 Motorplex booth was another popular stop for all the ¼ mile warriors

NHRA top Fuel pilot T. J. Zizzo’s Rust oleum sponsored Top Fuel dragster was in the house all weekend. The line for this very popular driver seemed endless T. J. obliged his fans with autographs and pictures.

T. J. goofing off with some of the Nostalgia Pro Stock drivers.

Not your average ‘short bus”

Why a picture of an engine. Because it is a Boss 429

Check out this custom built one off 4 door Bronco. Blue oval creation was a big hit with the truck crowd

 
1933 Ford sedan delivery has a fully independent Heidts rear end and wood work that is amazing

 
Ever lovely April Miller had her trusty street rod “Speedy” filled with the latest edition of Ledfoot News free for the asking.
Straight Line Performance was another popular booth among the masses

Beautiful white pearl paint really stands out

 
You are looking at the 2018 winner of the Riddler award. Wild 57 Chevy was a huge hit at the show and certainly deserved the award

 
Crate Engine Depo’s Tom Romanowski’s was on hand with all the latest info on Chevrolets hi performance offerings
The Chicago Gear Heads car club had a nice display of interesting hot rods as always

This 1972 C-10 was equipped with a fuel injected 409 Chevy.
The camper was redone with a north woods style motif that was out of this world cool.
