 What a weekend. Nothing like spending the days with over 300 cars, your friends and family. Only thing missing was "El Bote" or, the bbq pit. Had a great time at the swap meet. The Ybarra crew from B'Ville had a pretty good run and some people walked away with great deals. On our end, Javier Deleon opened up the parts barn and gave us some items to sell for them. And again, some locals walked away with awesome deals like $25.00 for brand new headers and $3.00 for brand new Steward Warner gauges and $50.00 for big block Chevy aluminum intakes. If you missed the show and swap meet then you missed out on these and other awesome deals.

Inside the show, the awards ceremony went on for over two hours!!!....Yikes! The McAllen Convention center gave out over 40 trophies in the various categoties. I wasn't able to get pics of the winners. But you can check the Carfest website later when they have the pics posted. For Best of Show, the 1957 Chevy of Elvis Attiles took it. Everyone was in awe of that beautiful car. It was a close fight between that car and the Lowrider from the Del Valle Crew out of Alamo, Texas. Take a look at the pics in the gallery. That car was very impressive. And between you and me, I think the Lowrider should have won based on their display and work on the car. I mean, there wasn't one part of the car that was left untouched.

I hope cars like this are a sign of things to come for this show. The quality of cars I think will increase as other put up a good fight for the top honors. We want to thank Omar, director of the McAllen Convention Center, and Al Diaz, Coordinator for EVERYTHING! at the Convention Center, for inviting Texasdragracing.com to the show. We really had a great time. Can't thank them enough for their hard work ensuring all show participants were taken care of. They trully made as feel like being at home kicking back in our easy chairs. With efforts like this we believe this show will just get better and better every year. Below is a gallery with over 250 pictures from the last day of Carfest. We believe we got pics of every single car inside the show...lol. Enjoy......
