October 22, 2011 – 4th Annual Fall Cruise: Well it started out a chilly morning on the way to meet up with everyone. This year we cruised in Josh’s 65 Ford Truck since it is finally back on the road, for the most part… We met the group in El Paso, AR and headed up Hwy 5 to Heber Springs, where we took Hwy 25 into Batesville to Mark Martin Ford and Museum. We were supposed to stop for lunch in Hardy, but we were invited to join the fish fry at Mark Martin Ford. John 3:16 Ministries were there cooking and we appreciated the invite.
From there is was a ride up Hwy 167 to Ash Flat for the next stop. It was at this point that Josh and I had to turn back towards home to make it back for another appointment, but we had a great time cruising with the group. A big thanks goes out to Dicky and Mary Jane Shannon for organizing this event every year. They do an awesome job planning and leading the cruise!

October 8, 2011 – ASRA Rod Run at DeGray Lake State Park: It was a gorgeous day to be at DeGray Lake in Arkadelphia, AR. The Arkansas Street Rod Association host a Rod Run at the State Park every year and it couldn’t be a better location for an even like this.
For the particpants, they had many games and even served lunch to everyone. All the money raised at the rod run is given back to the particpants. We had a great day hanging out with the ASRA folks and you can look forward to a couple of photo shoots that we did while there.

September 10, 2011 – Mopar Madness Patriot Day Car Show: Sponsored by Superior Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram and Pentastar Madness Mopar Club, some new and classic Mopars took over the dealership parking lot. I don’t think that i have seen that many Chargers, Dusters, Challengers, or Dodge trucks in one place for quite some time. There was also a deuce there, not your typical deuce, this was a ’32 Plymouth street rod. You don’t see to many of these.
The Army was also on hand with a display of one of their Humvees and armored personnel vehicles. Along with a couple of machine guns. The Arkansas State Police was also there with one of their Dodge Charger cars and a restored ASP car.

August 20, 2011 – Toad Suck Car Show @ Pickles Gap Village: Another warm day in Conway, AR for the TSCC Car Show. This was the 3rd annual show at Pickles Gap Village and there were about 86 cars registered. This car show always puts on a quality show. Right down to the entertainment. Gene Shaw from Calhoun, LA was on tap today to sing some favorite Elvis songs. Also present today was the Central Arkansas Corvette Club as they brought out about 14 corvettes.
The car club also had another batch of their 25th anniversary trophies for the winners done up in the club logo colors of green and yellow. These trophies were very unique, old time gas pump laser cut and painted by one of the club members and Halter’s Body Shop in Conway.
Cruisin’ Style magazine was also present to take pictures of the cars and happenings for an upcoming issue. StillKruzn.com not only was there for pictures, but was shooting video for an upcoming video series that we are working on. Keep an eye on the website for that update.

July 9 , 2011 – Motorsports Authority Car Show: With the temperature pushing 100 degrees outside in Conway on July 9, we were pretty comfortable sitting in the air conditioned expo center. MSA registered 95 cars and put them all in a 47,000 square foot building for their 7th annual car show that benefits the Auto Collision Program at the Conway Area Career Center. This is one show that brings out many genres of cars. The street rods, tuners, low-rider pickups, motorcycles, you name it was there.
Congratulations go out to Bryan and his team on another successful car show. Looking forward to next year already (as long as he does in the air conditioned building again!).

June 25 , 2011 – Archey Fork Car Show: Spent the morning in Clinton, AR at the Archey Fork Car Show hosted by the Archey Fork Car Club. They hold the car in downtown Clinton around the courthouse square. The court house was built in the 30′s, so it makes a really cool backdrop for the cars show. Even with the temperature pushing 100 degrees, they had somewhere around 100 cars participating. Great show and congrats out to Archey Fork Car Club for another successful car show. See you there next year on the last weekend in June!

April 30, 2011 – Toad Suck Daze Car Show: Finally! The Toad Suck Car Club got a break in the weather after 2 years that were plagued by rain and flooding of downtown Conway. Nearly 200 cars came out on an overcast day to enjoy the 25th anniversary of TSCC. What a great day looking at cars and just visiting with the people. The special anniversary trophies that were present were awesome, they looked like an old time gas pump and were laser cut by a local machine shop and painted by the auto collision class at the Conway Area Career Center that the car club support with an annual scholarship. There were also a special dash plaque, door prizes, music and food available this year. Great Job TSCC!

April 1 – 3, 2011 – Lonestar Rod & Kustom Roundup: After an early start, 3 am to be exact, and about 540 miles, we rolled into Austin, TX for another Lonestar Roundup. The Roundup is a traditional hot rod and custom show hosted by the Kontinentals. These guys know how to put on a big show… which includes live music, vendors, swap meet and some of the best looking cars in the country. The participants come in from California, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and even Canada to attend this how. After spending Friday afternoon at the expo center, we headed down to South Congress Ave to hang and out and watch the hot rods and customs cruise up and down the strip.
Saturday was another full day at the fairgrounds. Even more cars for day two. I never heard an official count, but my best guest is somewhere around 2000 cars. It’s hard to take pictures of so many cars but we tried to get as many as we could…

January 7 – 9, 2011 – O’Reilly Auto Parts Auto Extravaganza: First event of 2011, or maybe the last event of 2010, however you want to look at it. There is now a break before the 2011 car show season starts. This is an awesome way to kick it off. Stillkruzn.com teamed up with Full Service Graphix and Mayflower Ink & Graphics and setup a vendor booth at this event. This is the first year that Auto Extravaganza was ISCA sanctioned and it brought our some awesome cars. Troy Trepanier was there with a couple of cars that he has built, Gold Digger, the 2010 Ridler Award winner, and other show circuit cars.
Also on hand this year was George Barris, world famous customizer, and Charley Hutton who selected and presented the Best Paint award. There was also six pinstripers from around the country showcasing their work. I got to meet and talk to Howie, one of the pinstripers. He was really cool. Didn’t get to get any shots of him laying down any stripes, but caught some of the other guys.
The pictures don’t do these cars justice, so if you missed the show, you missed some awesome cars. Congrats to Carol Dolan and her team for putting on an awesome show. To see a slide show, click here. For individual pictures, click here.
Nov 19 – 21, 2010 – 2010 Super Cruise: This event takes place in Mountain View, AR which is an awesome place to visit in the fall of the year. The event started out with a meal provided by the the organizers. Saturday morning we met and left on a cruise that was led with a police escort to downtown Mountain View, and then on to Batesville for a tour of the Mark Martin museum, which is located at Mark Martin Ford. There were about 60 – 80 cars that headed for Batesville on Saturday morning. It is a beautiful sight seeing that many cars head down the highway. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay for the ending of the event on Sunday morning. To see a slide show, click here. For individual pictures, click here.
October 23, 2010 – 3rd Annual Fall Cruise: This made for a fun Saturday, kinda felt like a rolling car show, but instead it was a cruise along the Arkansas back roads from Conway to Hot Springs. The best thing about the day was meeting new people and the organizers of this event did an awesome job putting it together. Check out the ‘Articles of Interest’ for the write up.

October 9, 2010 – CabotFest Car Show: The Christian Car Club in Cabot has done another excellent job this year with their annual CabotFest car show. I believe that they ended up with about 80 -90 cars, and it was a wide variety of cars as you will see in the pictures. I look forward to this how because it is the first show of the season that I am not actually working at a show. Congrats to the guys and gals of the Christian Car Club on another successful year.

October 2, 2010 — Toadsuck Bike Rally: Another first today, a bike show. Two shows in Conway today and neither a car show that I could take mine to, but I drove it and got some pics.

October 2, 2010 — Volkswagon Car Show at ToadSuck: First time for me to go to a VW car show. Didn’t have any others to go to and this one was close by.

August 21, 2010 – Toad Suck Car Show @ Pickles Gap Village: Toad Suck Car Club has done it again. The temperature got up to about 103 degrees and still 90 cars came out to enjoy the show and village. Again, there was a wide varietey from muscle cars, Corvettes (the local Corvette clubs showed up in full force), an Austin Healy, Sunbeam Tiger, and Cobra replicas. The village is a great venue for this car show also, reminds you of a small downtown main street filled with classic cars. Great job TSCC! To see a slide show of the car show click here.

July 10, 2010 – SearcyFest Car Show: Was a great day for a car show, a little warm, and a little rain, but otherwise a great day.

June 26, 2010 – Archey Fork Car Show: Man, was it hot in Clinton, AR today. The folks in the Archey Fork Car Club put on an excellent car show. The car show is held on the courthouse square in downtown Clinton. They even had a few planes in the park area. Anytime you can use the streets of downtown in any town, it makes for a good car show venue. To see a slide show of the car show click here. For individual pictures, click here.
May 7 – 9, 2010 – Stray Kat 500: What a weekend, the Stray Kat Kustoms did a tremendous job with this years show. This is the first time I have made the trip to Dewey, OK for this car show and would definately make it again. The city of Dewey closes the streets to the downtown area, and they fill it up with kustoms and hot rods(noticed I spelled that with a ‘K’? I understand that is the way they do things in Dewey).
There are pictures from all three days in the links below and check back in the months ahead from some feature cars from this show.

May 1, 2010 – Toad Suck Daze Car Show: Toad Suck Car Club hosted the TSD Car Show and despite the bad weather, had a good turnout of 55 cars. TSCC does an awesome job of hosting a car show, although I might be a little biased since I am one of them. Look for the 1956 Buick Special in the pictures. This Buick is owned by Jack Smith of Conway, and was the first recipient of the stillkruzn.com sponsored trophy. This is truly a gorgeous car. To see a slide show of the car show click here.
