Hopupland

Yeah, none of those (very real) disgusting people will find their way into the inner sanctum of Hop Up, but what you will find here is real hot rods and customs with traditional style, and unaffected car guys who are comfortable in their skins; guys what know whatsawhat, and we’ll get at look at some of their shenanigans. They’re reluctant heroes who have always been happy to live this obsession with a few Brothers….but if this weird, different publication talks them in to some attention, well, Boys, they’re usually willing to oblige…as long as we swear that there are only 19 of you.

If number 20 shows up…looks like we’re gonna have to kill somebody.

An’ we don’t wanna do that, now do we?
COVER SHOT

Mild Mitch got this on the side of the road somewhere, when he and Eddie Barbozza were on some kinda roadster romp…...you know….....hot rods in the great outdoors, without an audience (except this one) and,,far niente

Hot-cha.

This kind of hot rod is what we are about, here, no?
WEINER NATIONALS

Sam-the-Sham came up with this one, after pre-running Lance and Sam’s Excellent Hop Dog Adventure at the drags…the new handle came up for the Mid-June dog-char.

As usual, Hopupland was full of all the right people groovin’ on the true-to-tradition hot rod experience, and all the (here we go) cool-livin’ daddies popped in…...... for shade, shit-shootin’, suds or a dose of cool. It’s goin’ around. And it took 400 Hop Dogs to run off all you riff-raff so’s we could get down to business. Jeez, Man. It’s livin’ proof that if you price it right they will come!!!

Whoa, Daddy!!!

Whole wolf-packs of out of state Hop Up Guys were there making us look good, and their real hot rod iron was supported by the Boys: more real traditional hot rods from right here in the Lumpy-Interstate State, all drawing a crowd. And one life-changing custom. Don’t be mistaken, Brethren: the car will show up in the glossy books….but the man is a Hop Up Guy. Believe it.

Anywho, it’s impossible to be humble:...everybody knows the real act is in Hopupland . And, yeah…some pretenders popped in once in a while…... but next time we’ll all be armed with ire-extinguishers.

The Weiner Nats will next appear at the 100 MPH Club Banquet at the bend in the road, Monday nite at Speedweek, a precursor to the developing series of Hop Up Four Barrel Events.
