Uncle Joe Benson at the Goodguys Nitro Nationals, August 6, 2005.

August 6, 2005: After participating in the 24th Annual KLOS Blood Drive earlier Saturday morning, J.B. cruised up the road to hang with the KLOS Cool Patrol at the Goodguys 8th Pomona Nitro Nationals at the Fairplex in Pomona! Besides checking out some of the coolest Hot Rods in the land, Joe was also part of the tribute to NHRA announcing god Dave McClelland. What a blast!

Welcome to the show!

Saying hi and sharing stories.

Lots of folks cruising by.

It's the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association!

Old school flamed rods were everywhere.

In the P.A. booth,
Goodguys announcer John Drummond talked with Uncle Joe,
then Dave McClelland cracked them both up.

J.B. and the legendary Mac.

Custom racing Willys and '57 Thunderbird.

Unc's new ride!
