We are flying to Southern California, specifically Pomona, California to attend the LA. Roadster Show!!!! That’s right!!! We’ve mentioned several times over the years that we are SE-RIOUS about what we are doing here…and if you can’t tell by the 7 Year Anniver-sary, we hope you get the drift, when in a few months you’ll be reading and viewing our coverage from this show and other area attractions, which for the moment we’ll leave as a surprise!!! That’s right folks, the plan here is to continue to push the envelope each and every year as we add more and more coverage of some of the best shows in the country!!!! We also like to dabble with new featured areas of interest like Wide Whitewalls Cruisin’ Cuisine!!! We have 6 more months of this year to carry out the 2016 plans, but I’ll let you in on a little secrete, we’re already in the thought pro-cess of making the 10 Year Celebration the biggest and best ever!!!!!

The enging is an L72 code 427ci Big Block putting out 425 horse pow-er. It’s backed by a Muncie 4 speed manual tranny. The paint is per-fectly laid out “Hugger Orange” and was completed by Wynn’s Resto-ration in Crockett, Virginia! WOW!!!

Bill Achata of Georgetown, TN brought out his killer ‘33 Ford Vicky and was competing in the “Custom Rod Sedan” class at the show.The Engine is a tuned port injected small block and is highly detailed!!

The interior is simply a work of art and matches the exterior of the ‘33 Ford perfectly!

The mile deep black paint and perfect body work were completed by Hibdon’s Body Shop!

We can certainly see why Arna & Tee-na have called their car “Black Dia-mond”!!!

Well done folks!!!!!!!

Wide WhitewallsCruisin’ Cuisine!

We here at Wolf Motorsports Magazine would like to introduce you to

Wide Whitewalls - Cruisin’ Cuisine!!!

What is Wide Whitewalls Cruisin’ Cuisine you may ask? A: Wide Whitewalls - Cruisin’ Cuisine will be the newest section of the magazine that will highlight and introduce to you the best places to eat that this country has to offer.

What else will this section of the magazine contain? A: It will show photos of the restaurant(s) that are featured during that particular month. The restaurant will normally be pretty close to the car show that is covered for that particular issue.

When will Wide Whitewalls - Cruisin’ Cuisine begin? A: WWW-CC will begin with the 6th Anniversary - June issue of Wolf Motorsports Mag-azine!

Why is this section being added to a car magazine? A: The answer to this one is simple, when we are cruising all over the US to attend car shows, we have to eat! And, we’re not sure about you all, but we are al-ways looking for the best place close to the car show where we can chow down, either before, during, or after the car show! It’s that simple! My other hobby besides everything car related is everything FOOD related!!! So, we wanted to add something that we think you will find usefull and enjoyable in your travels!!!

We here at WMM would like to hear about your favorite places, to eat and would love to share photos of them. If you would like to share please email us at: [email protected] you enjoy the best flavor profiles on your automotive journeys!!


Located in downtown Chattanooga is this killer eatery called Tupelo Honey Cafe! This is one of many locations in the South East. I’ve learned one thing since I went to eat here back in January that this location has complete-ly revamped it’s menu, so my suggestion is to go as often as possible to sample all of the culinary greats!!!!


I know these look just like normal egg roles, however, they are not. They were filled with veggies and light pork and the dipping sauce on the left was sweet and tangy with a bit of spice and bottom one was just ok!!!


Yes folks this is biscuit...but not just a biscuit a biscuit with some killer jelly to apply to the already buttery and fluffy goodness. Yes it was brunch time..and yes that’s an odd combination! But ohh so good!!!!!


Warehouse Row has two buildings with all kinds of shops and other attractions that may be of interest! This also includes the featured eatery Tupelo Honey Cafe!!!!


This highly comfortable area was located in the front of the building housing Tupelo Honey Cafe, if the weight is long you could come out here and relax. Is’t this are warm and inviting?

Bench RacingBench Racing is defined in several different ways. The urban dictionary defines Bench Racing as:

1. To discuss quarter mile elapsed time of a car based on a list of modifications or horsepower estimate.2. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine.3. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine.

While I do agree with the Urban Dictionary’s definition of Bench Racing, Bench Racing in the context of this section of the magaine will be defined as:1. Discussion of ANYTHING automobile related between at least two individuals with the goal of passing time at a car show, sharing automotive related ideas, opinions or entertaining themselves or others.

Please feel free to share your bench race session wtih the readers by emailing:[email protected]

Let’s Bench Race!!! [email protected]

Summertime blues…… Good Evening hot rodders!!!! Summertime is all but upon is as I write the “Bench Racing” session for this month! Even though summer-time is not quite official the temperatures here in Middle Tennessee cer-tainly are. It’s been close to 100 degrees for several days in a row now, this weather often gives me a little bit of the Summertime blues! But have no fear, that feeling won’t last long as we are now in full swing of the car show and cruise-in season!!! We are out driving our hot rods, reading cool articles on the internet, making more plans for the remainder of the season and having nice bench racing sessions with all of our buddies in the cool comfort of our homes while we rest from all of the weekend activities!! Enjoy, WMM
