| Due to a schedule change at work and a few minor health issues, I've decided to change the way I "do business". I just don't have the time I used to have to work on my website. Actually I've decided to update more often with less changes each update. Basically when I get something new, no matter how small, I'll update. One of the major changes will be the two images posted below. I have almost 40 years worth of pictures (black & white, color negatives, slides) of racing events and indoor and outdoor car shows and I'll be posting a different "rodding" and "racing" image every update. As I remove them, I'll relocate them to another page which will represent my previous "LOOKING BACK" page that y'all are used to but this time it will include both rodding and racing pictures. Hope you like the changes and again, any requests or inquires, please let me know......Hector A. Leal |

| Although I couldn't make it, my brother was lucky enough to catch the Space City Cruisers Fall Car Show at Walter Hall Park in League City in mid-October. Images from the show are forthcoming but below are a couple of "Star Cars" from the event. Enjoy! |
| I love my diecast collection and I'd like to pass along a couple of my favorites. Below left is a 1/18 scale replica of Butch Leal's California Flash '71 Duster Pro Stocker. Butch and I share the same last name so that's why I've followed him over the years. Below is my 1/18 scale Ofixco Special winged sprint car that was driven by Arizona's Ron Shuman. Below that is a picture I took of the same car in action at Devils Bowl Speedway in Mesquite, Texas quite a few years back. |

| FORD "REINTRODUCES" THE 1965 MUSTANG. That's right Ford will soon offer brand new, all metal 1965 Ford Mustangs as part of it's Ford Reproduction business. The new stamping has been approved and the only difference compared to the original release will be the utilization of modern welding techniques and rustproofing. The "crate" Mustang will be sold for $15,000 and you'll receive it just like the image on the left. You supply the engine, drive train, interior and trim. A brand new '65 Mustang individualized by you. I expect they'll be sold at a pretty good pace. |

| in less than a month with the Houston Autorama Thanksgiving weekend. Having attended the show almost forty years, I put together some of my early and late pictures as a preview to the upcoming show. Click on the show poster above to see the images and some show information. |
| Hard to believe but the ISCA indoor car show season begins |
| The League City, Texas based Space City Cruisers Car Club host two great shows per year and below are images from their Fall Show beginning with two cars that I featured in my last update as "Star Cars". Great turnout considering they went head to head with the Super Chevy Show that was being held the same weekend at Royal Purple Raceway in nearby Baytown. Both Space City shows are "must see" events on my schedule. |
| This update's "Star Cars" are vehicles that showed at this year's Super Chevy Show at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown. More images to come. |
