The ROAD HOUNDS CAR CLUB: Showing how its done!

LOOK OUT! Them damn ROAD HOUNDS did it again, and they definitely did it how only they could do it. A couple months ago I was lucky enough to be invited to set up my little photo booth at this carshow they were putting together. I thought when asked , cool, Good people, should be a good time. Once again I underestimated them damn ROAD HOUNDS again. This car club is unlike most clubs I have been around. This show was the 2nd annual PAPA BRUCE'S DONUT JAMBOREE, a show with a great cause to benefit the Fairhaven Foundation in Niles,OH. and the Special Olympics. All done in memory of Jamie Bunker. Like I said before, this car club is something special. Not only do they illustrate a unique passion for automobiles but they also have big hearts and really show compassion for others and if you don't like it, they don't really care. Like what Jeff (and I don't know his last name) said during the show about his neighbors and the fact that they may do some burnouts in the street as people leave the show, "if they don't like it, well we're gonna do it anyway!" Nothing personal! Don't get me wrong these guys aren't a bunch of careless gearheads, they are kindhearted, caring, respectful gearheads!

I can still smell the rubber burning, aahh, love that sh!t!

The Guy in this image is Papa Bruce, a ROAD HOUND to the core!

The girl in the foreground was taking his photo and If you don't know me I am always looking for a different perspective for my photo, her shirt was made for the show and I thought would make a neat shot of Bruce and the shirt design(created by J-Bird,I'll get to him later) together.

I am not sure how to describe Jeff, the MC for the day, the organizer of the show, of which I am sure he had plenty of help. Just another ROAD HOUND and a truly good guy.

PBR has many uses.

Yeah, another shot of Shane's car, just using it as a bit of dressing for the wide shot. cant get away from that damn car! Just rolling art ya know!

A beautifully restored Triumph and the Gentleman who did the work and took home a trophy!

Doesn't' get any better than this, going for a ride in a hotrod!

This guy here is one of them ROAD HOUNDS to. But he like most members, is so much more!

He is perhaps one of the best pinstriper/painter/artists I have met. Jeremy runs J-BIRD STUDIOS in Cortland,OH he is truly a talented artist. Some of his oil paintings are incredible works of art. I could be exaggerating a bit but I think he striped or painted most of the cars that were at this show. He is one of many artists from northeast Ohio that needs to be exposed to a bigger audience.

Jeremy's palette, and a PBR as well.

Another car that took home a trophy! A bad little car!

Just a ROAD HOUND and his ride!

Shane built this last year for his son. How cool is that.

The Rusty B , What's that "B" stand for Shane?

This next series of images is of the trophies. . . ROAD HOUND style!

There were a few people involved in creating these works of art. Of course Jeremy was

involved. They could have easily went out and bought some cheese trophies and passed em out like most cars shows will do. BUT this is the ROAD HOUNDS and they put their touch and thought and love into EVERYTHING!

I mean, come on! who else makes trophies like this?

Look at this import trophy, Chinese carryout box,chop stix, fortune cookie,

Them damn ROAD HOUNDS think of everything! too cool!

Ever got a best paint trophy that was a Binks spray gun?

Like I said before, who thinks of stuff like that. . .

the ROAD HOUNDS do!

These piston trophies are from a very expensive drag engine, forgive me for not remembering who gave them to the club to use but I know they are worth a sizable chunk of cash!

Quit sneaking up on me Tony!

This guy look intimadating? As my family and I were leaving he and his son come over and they give my kids a bag full of toys, just stuff they were passing out as door prizes for kids attending he didnt have to do that but he did. It wasnt' one or two small toys, a bag full!

People say our world has changed, that nobody cares about each other or respects one another.

I beg to differ, I have found some people who, when you talk of the good in this world they are a big part of it.

A very cool bike, look close its no HD, its Hardly a bobber!

Another trophy winner!

A very cool stretch job.
