"Burning of the Bricks"

So there is this thing in Pampa that they do every year called "Burning of the Bricks". A bunch of cars come out and do burn-outs....see who can do the best burn-out, most smoke, etc. This was the first year that we have made it over to watch them burn-out. There is also a BIG car show. I really enjoy looking at old cars. My dad got into cars awhile back and started restoring them. He is the proud owner of a 1930 Model A and a 1932 (I think it is a sedan). Anyways, we have always gone to car shows and I really do enjoy it. The burn-outs were really pretty cool. This was my favorite car to watch.

There were all sorts of cars out there doing it...old cars, new cars, pieces of JUNK (LOL). There was a car that we were watching....the guy driving it pulled up, put the car in the place it needed to be and then he got out of the drivers side (I looked at Jerald and said...What is this guy doing??) he walked around and got in the passenger seat and then I noticed that there was a young girl that had slid over into the driver seat. From what I could tell, she looked about 13-14. She did the burn-out and actually did pretty good. Here is a pic of her doing the burn-out!
There was also a little Mazda truck that pulled up to do a burn-out, I looked at Jerald and said "Is this guy REALLY gonna attempt this, he is gonna make a FOOL of himself". WOW Check out this video:



I LOVE THIS CAR:
Here are a few more pics of some of the really cool cars that were there:

This next car is what they call a "Rat Rod" basically it is a rusted out POS....for some reason this is the next car that my dad wants to do....
Anyways...we had a really good time....if anything it was nice to get out and go do something!!! This Saturday it is off to the MudBogs....maybe I will blog again with more pics after this weekend!!! One last video...be sure to watch the smoke!
