MSRA's Back to the Fifties event

[felix37]

Minnesota Street Rod Association's Back to the Fifties event was another great success even though it rained most of Saturday. The car count has surpassed the NSRA's Street rod Nationals in Louisville the past few years in a row. count at the end of ceremonies was over 11,500 cars. How many of you barner's made it to this years show? check out the 1/2 scale merc it was totally mind blowing,the man who built it took five years to hand form every bit of the car from misc. steel,old washer machines, fridges etc..the car is powered by a little Toyota engine. Also pictured is my Uncle, Jerry Johnson one of the co founders of the MSRA and the back to the Fifties. Jerry retired from the NSRA a few years back as the managing editor of Street Scene magazine. I'm proud of my Uncle for all his contributions to this hobby!
