The 8th Annual Hunnert Car Pile Up is this Saturday, October 10, 2009, at the Grundy County Speedway and Fairgrounds in Morris, Illinois. An absolutely unique car show event, the Pile Up is a show of traditional hot rods, customs, and motorcycles.
Strict rules for entry are enforced as your vehicle must be a traditionally built, pre-1964 '40s, '50s, or '60s hot rod or custom. And yes, the organizers do turn cars away that don't meet the show's criteria -- they created a very specific (and very cool) type of show and you'll be glad they did when you see all of the roadsters, sleds, jalopies, coupes, and gassers that show up.
More than 1,200 cars were displayed last year, but the Pile Up is about more than just the cars, it's also a celebration of car "kulture" as well. Live music featuring surf, garage, and rockabilly bands join a variety of vendors to get everyone into the spirit of the day. Pinstriping displays and a flame-throwing pit are also planned.
The gates open at 9:00 am. Admission is $20 for show cars and $5 for spectators. Grease your hair back, grab your leather jacket, and join the fun!
