With a rain storm definitely on the way, 74 true car nuts braved the weather and brought their hot rods out to the Beech Grove Rail Rodders Car Show on Saturday at Amtrak.

Sam Emerson, with the help of his friends and family, brought his entire collection of six old cruisers.
Mike Fisher, Rick Taylor, Rick Burton, Rick Bowman and Nick Fisher spent countless hours planning and preparing for the annual show.

All proceeds will be donated to the Beech Grove Police Department’s Shop With a Cop program and the Beech Grove Kids Fire Safety Program.

The show was sponsored by Dunham Rubber and Belting and Bomar Industries, which custom made the trophies.

Best of Show was won by John Rash for his custom-built 1960 Corvette. His ’Vette also won Best Corvette at the 2013 Good Guys Car Show.

With this year’s show behind them, the Rail Rodders are already planning for next year’s event. Great job, guys.

Until next week, keep on cruising!

Cruising to the Remember Blake Car Show

The fifth annual Remember Blake Car Show in Franklin was a huge success, as always. Although the numbers are not in yet, thousands of dollars were raised for several causes.

The money will be distributed to the Johnson County Youth Assistance Crime Prevention Fund, the Boys and Girls Club of Johnson County and the Blake Dickus Criminal Tip Line Reward Fund, which is administered by the city of Franklin.


Nearly 300 participants brought a great selection of hot rods, muscle cars and antique cars and trucks.
Several hundred trophies were handcrafted by Richard Napier, Josh Starker, David Hyatt and Keith Sanders and each will – I’m sure – be treasured by its recipient.


The event has turned into one of the largest car shows on the Southside; all of the hard work put into it is greatly appreciated by all of us car nutz.


The show was held in memory of Blake Dickus, who was 10 when he and his 26-year-old stepmother, Chynna Dickus, were brutally slain July 24, 2006, in their Franklin home.
Until next week, keep on cruising!
