Birthplace of Route 66 Festival

A celebration on Historic Route 66 designed to remember the role Springfield played in the history of Route 66.

Officially recognized as the birthplace of U.S. Route 66, it was in Springfield, Missouri on April 30, 1926 that officials first proposed the name of the new Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway. A placard in Park Central Square was dedicated to the city by the Route 66 Association of Missouri, and traces of the “Mother Road” are still visible in downtown Springfield along Kearney Street, Glenstone Avenue, College and St. Louis streets and on Missouri 266 to Halltown, Missouri.

This festival is put together by volunteers from The West Central Neighborhood Alliance. The West Central Neighborhood Alliance aims to promote pride and awareness in the residents of our downtown community. We encourage the ideals of an affordable, desirable and diverse neighborhood for everyone to live, work and play. We recognize the area’s great potential. If you yearn for the days of front porches and friendly neighbors, we encourage you to join The West Central Neighborhood Alliance by living and investing in West Central.

We set sail with the Earthmonster booth on it’s maiden voyage. Celeste and Rachel worked the booth for the day and many “Thanks” to them for making it happen. Great job girls! Below you’ll find some shots from the car show and if you visited the booth and purchased something…we appreciate you and your business.

2013 Queen City Riot

The inaugural Queen City Riot was kicked off at The Outland with an overwhelming response. As usual downtown traffic on a Friday night was packed. A Saturday Show at The VFW American Legion post 639 on South Scenic and a post party at Hooligans Ice House. Hard to beat for the car owner looking to have a good time.

Hosted by The Knuckle Dragger’s our first impression of the show was good. Weather was perfect, food was great, everything seemed to run smoothly. Although it looks good from the perspective of a participant we won’t know how the gate was until after the show. Sunday morning and the picture changes today with an 80% chance of thunderstorms in the morning and afternoon. On the bright side… Saturday was great!

Delicious Dolls Magazine was on hand to provide some magazine coverage. The pin up contest winner will receive a cover in an up coming issue. To say the least it was fun.

Depth of Speed – Andy the Pinstriper

Depth of Speed takes us to pinstriping shop of Andy Kawahara. Known succinctly as Andy’s Pinstriping, his craft is a true unification of art and automotive. Josh Clason speaks with Andy regarding why he loves pinstriping and how the old crowd has embraced the artform. While most will unanimously agree, the art of pinstriping much like sign painting is a dying breed due to the vinyl industry but with that comes glimmers of hope.

Depth of Speed – Salt Flats Speed Shop

From HBTV


HBTV: Depth of Speed - Salt Flats Speed Shop from HBTV on Vimeo.

Depth of Speed was born from a desire of story, travel, and a love of anything automotive related. Next year my wife and I will be taking to the streets to uncover and document the greatest stories from the automotive world. From coast-to-coast and from top to bottom, finding the best stories will take the highest priority. Every time I meet someone new or attend an event I amazed at the depth, passion, and love that the automotive world brings. Depth of Speed is just that, an in-depth look at these stories. There is something about motors and machines, that to an outsider looking in, would make us seem plain crazy.

We have begun the process of outfitting our trusty Scamp trailer to traverse the entire country. Known affectionately as a fiberglass egg, our Scamp will be our home for one year of our lives. At only 13 feet long it will make for a cozy year.

n this week’s episode of Depth of Speed, Josh Clason visits the garage of Salt Flats Speed Shop. The operation founded by Chris Davenport has developed a following based on his high-quality customization and restorations of vintage cars dating back to the 20s and 30s. Despite an increasingly automated world, Davenport’s penchant for handcrafting makes him one of the greatest advocates for utilizing ways of the past.
