Lake Preston, SD - Kingsbury Klassic Kruiser Car Show


So, the big green bus rolled into yet another town.  This time the bus pulled in amongst many hotrod and classic cars.  The community closed off the main street to the 700 person town to host owners of cars from a '54  Bel Air to a '07 Corvette and everything in between and even older. Cars lined the street three wide for three blocks.

At the far south end of the street, we parked the bus.  A little toward the end of the line, people still came down to the biodiesel bus to find out what we were all about.  We talked with people from the community and others from different parts.  Many of those we spoke with showed interest in biodiesel and the local member group, Dakota Rural Action .

We stayed at the event for 4 hours and talked with about 40 different people.  As the show ended, promptly at 3:00pm, we began to hear cars start and the engines rev.  One-by-one the participants rolled out of town, some leaving a trail of rubber on the ground and a cloud of black smoke in the air.  After the last car left, the big green bus pulled out of town toward Huron, where the crew stayed that night.
