Burnout Radio » model a http://www.burnoutradio.com the slightly humorous podcast for everything automotive Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:00:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.burnoutradio.com/feed/podcast Burnout Radio is Co-hosted by Charlie Brumfield and Nick Malone and is the primary podcast at Performance Radio Network. We take a light hearted look at the auto industry and we tend to spend more time off topic than on thanks to Charlie’s A.D.D. and Nick’s obsession with the Dodge Challenger. We share our opinions about our latest test drives and spend a fair amount of time ripping on one another. So if you like a good laugh and are as addicted to cars as we are then you’ll defiantly dig this cast. Burnout Radio got started mid 2008 when we contrived a scheme to get to test drive a bunch of cars for free. That scheme was the Burnout Radio podcast where we do nothing but test drive cars, review products and go to as many car shows as humanly possibly. Then once a week, we sit down and tell you guys about whats new in the automotive industry, and fill you in on our weekly shenanigans.

20th Annual Yellow Rose Classic Car ShowDo you bleed Ford blue? If so then this show was perfect for you. Earlier this month we got the chance to attend the Yellow Rose Classic, which is an all Ford or Ford related car show held at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.

Not only were there plenty of the requesit Mustangs in all varieties but there some anchient Model A’ s and T’s as well as a number of Tigers and Panteras. Not to mention some beautiful examples Shelby Cobra Kits and a handful of some of Ford’s more rare cars. Don’t worry you can see many of these fine rides in the gallery below. But first a little Yellow Rose history…

The Yellow Rose Classic is the North Texas Mustang Club’s answer to the demand for a quality indoor show-featuring classic, antique, and collectible Ford automobiles and trucks. This annual event began in 1990 with 50,000 square feet of display space at the Amon G. Carter, Jr. Exhibit Hall. Demand exceeded space and this show grew to 100,000 square feet of space in 1992. Show participants include individuals, Ford enthusiast car clubs, and both local and nationally known vendors.

And now a little Yellow Rose history for our listeners not lucky enough to reside in the great state of Texas…

“The Yellow Rose of Texas” is a traditional folk song which has long been popular in the United States and is considered an unofficial state song of Texas. The actual author is unknown…

…the song is based on a Texas legend from the days of the Texas War of Independence. According to the legend, a free African American woman named Emily D. West, a mulatto and hence the reference to “yellow”, seized by Mexican forces during the looting of Galveston, seduced General Antonio López de Santa Ana, President of Mexico and commander of the Mexican forces. The legend credits her supposed seduction with lowering the guard of the Mexican army and facilitating the Texan victory in the battle of San Jacinto waged in 1836 near present-day Houston. Santa Ana’s opponent was General Sam Houston, who won the battle literally in minutes, and with almost no casualties.
