The Summit Racing Equipment I-X Piston Powered Auto-Rama Presented by Rad Air Complete Car Care and Tire Centers is having a whopping turnout of crowds enjoying the 50th Annual show in Cleveland at the I-X Center this weekend. The show does offer planes, heavy equipment and all things piston driven including an operational Ferris wheel…and a working display of soap box derby cars.

But what hot rod show worth its engine oil would be left without the likes of some of the finest show cars in the country along with muscle cars, vans, and, of course, good ol’ traditional hot rods. The South Hall Hot Rod Asylum is once again up and running and hosted by the Slick Devil’s Car Club and has on display feature vehicles including cars, trucks and motorcycles. These hot rods are from the world of “customs” (yes, with a ‘k’), nostalgic race cars or tribute race cars. A separate awards ceremony was held Saturday night featuring nine custom made trophies.

Along with Best in Show, the winner will receive a trophy, their own commemorative "Straight Jacket", and their name added to the South Hall Asylum's "Straight Jacket". The Straight Jacket will be held on display at the I-X Center and other various locations. Every year the Slick Devils identify 12 hot rods or kustoms that are exceptional examples of what the South Hall Hot Rod Asylum is all about. Whether the car is a fresh build or a barn fresh survivor, these cars are some of the best traditional hot rods to be found. SRM
