Daytona Beach Turkey Run

Before leaving Greg and Emily's, we made plans to try and meet up again in Daytona Beach for the Daytona Beach Turkey Run and Swap Meet (held annually over Thanksgiving weekend).

As it turned out, arrangements were not necessary. While driving Main Street in Daytona Saturday morning, looking for a restaurant, I stopped at the traffic light, and there was Greg standing on the gesturing to me. They had been sitting in a restaurant when Emily saw me passing by - Greg ran me down! Strange how things happen that way.

The Daytona Beach Turkey Run is a car lovers dream. While the main event and swap meet is

located at Daytona International Speedway, the cars move back and forth between the race track and down parking lots, where they are displayed nightly.

There hundreds of cars on display from: street rods, sport cars, customs and even rat rods.

Seeing the rat rods was a new experience for me. I still don't understand the mentality that

would possess someone to want to dedicate their time, energy, engineering skill and knowledge into making a "piece of trash". That is exactly what they aspire too do - the "trashier" the better.

Rat rod normally have no door panels and one even featured what may be called, the original "bucket seat" - a tractor seat and a plywood backrest!

Top honors. in my opinion, go to the owner or new Dodge Magnum, outfitted with "suicide

doors", and lovingly painted to look like it was covered with rust. The owner must have spent thousands of dollars in an effort to make his new car look like trash! To each his own!
