It all officially begins each day with the parade of entrants from
the staging area outside the fairgrounds. An endless parade of vehicles
that makes your mouth water. This year over 8200 street rods registered
and these are figures directly from guys in golf carts, so you know they
are accurate. We have discovered that all power in the street rod business
emanates from golf carts. We will soon have a golf cart and assume the strappings
of power. A tip for you neophytes, one person in a golf cart usually has
more power than 2 persons in a golf cart, unless one of the people in the
cart is wearing a tie, then the driver is usually quite important. Also
the newer carts go to the more powerful.
