POWERAMA Edmonton Alberta Canada 2006

I dont know how you spell spring ? But HOT ROD CANADA spells it Powerama , a sure sign that street and strip action is right around the corner . It's truly the only event that has both of HRC's favorites parked , side by side ( racing and rodding ) . Where else do you get the colors , chrome , huge swap meet and all the new speed accessories , all under the same roof ? Well it's all at THE car show of the year in Edmonton , there is alot of work putting on this show by the people , showing there cars and especially Liz Oglu and the rest , that either work or volunteer there . Good Job !

As you can see in the photos , there were just so many ROCKIN cars , that HRC decided to show most of the race cars at upcoming drag races . There were just so many HIGH END muscle cars , retro rods , hot rods , repli rods , classics on and on . The amount of show quality cars was way up from last year , with some just driving in from Sask. , B.C. and all over Alberta .

Checking out the huge Swap Meet is a great idea , if your looking for that one piece you just cant find . And of course how can you not take a look around in the the new toys section (speed shops ) . Because there just has to be a way to go even faster , that is the very reason your never finished a race car .

Even though this is a car show HRC had to include some beautiful bikes . Most all of the bikes are hand made , and are as different as the riders that ride them . There was a day when rarely you would see a Harley on the road , AMF almost put the final stake through their heart . But with some German engineering , the Harley Davidson V TWIN is thumping louder than ever . Good Job ! And the paint jobs , huge rear tires , wild assorted rims , beautiful chrome springers with any rake with any frame design you can imagine . There is just no end to the accessories available now a days , and companies are putting out new pieces constantly . HRC would also like to announce , we are working on a web-site devoted exclusively to motorcycles . Possibly as soon as next year ! Choppers , runs , nitro racing , tech tips .

Hope you enjoy the photos .
