Mother nature was nasty that day. Our show started at 12pm and at 12pm the bottom fell out hard. On the other hand, the weather cleared that afternoon and we still had a few nice rigs show up. For the  few that made it we still did a little awards judging. The mayor of Kimberly, AL judged 3 best in show plaques, put up by TP’s. We are going to throw this event again on June 26 so come out!

 Come on down this weekend for a great time with cool bikes and cars. We want all types of vehicles to join in. Good food, music, and prizes. No entrance fee just pull up to this fun cruise in show.

Where: TP’s Bar and Grill- 9394 Peterson Drive Kimberly,Al 35091

  The LT1 was a huge stepping stone for GM’s late model performance. The Lt1 made it’s first appearance in the early 1970s in Corvettes and Camaros. The 2nd generation engines were produced from 1992-1997. You can find versions of these engines in the Caprice, Roadmaster, F-Bodies, Fleetwood, Impala SS, and the Corvette. The LT1 is a 350ci small block V8. Overall this motor has a reputation for good performance and dependability.

Wow what an accident we have here. Notice how the other cars are pretty much plane Jane vehicles, but the vette’s lift is the one to break. Just imagine being the owner and seeing your pride and joy smashed while the Volvo wagons are safe. I wonder if the owner was ever compensated for this fiasco.
