Five Friday’s in a month means it’s time to hang out with the fellas from the White Hall Drag O Way. The scorching hot temperatures did not turn away the very nice crowd who gathered to talk cars, show off their babies, and reunite with friends new and old. You can always expect a good time at one of these events, not to mention some really cool old iron.
I’ve been to several of these Fifth Friday Cruise In’s now and what always amazes me is the quality and variety of cars. What is really cool is these aren’t trailer queens, but they are drivers. So with camera in tow I took the short drive to White Hall, Illinois to spend time with the guys of the WHDOW and enjoy an evening around some sweet classics. Hit the jump and you can see a sampling of what was there.

Sunday Commentary: Labor Day weekend
Sunday Commentary week in review
by Jason
September first has come and this year it means tomorrow is Labor Day. I get the feeling a lot of people have forgotten exactly why Labor Day exists so later on we will discuss that, but in the mean time we should do the week in review and talk about the upcoming fall car show season. Traditionally here in the US Labor Day means the end of Summer. While there is still plenty of great outside weather left the kids are back in school now, farmers will soon be hitting the fields to pull in the harvest, and football season is here. Fall in the Midwest means car shows and that is a good thing. It is one last reward of good weather before the long cold winter comes.
Car show season kicks off in my neck of the woods with the White Hall Drag O Way Fifth Friday Cruise In. It’s a bit of a warm up for the White Hall Drag O Way Reunion which will be next weekend (September 7th). It’s the best small town car show you’ll ever attend so you should make plans to come out and enjoy the fun. I will do a preview of the show later this week.
