*ADRL and House of Hot Rods Present ‘Eye Candy’ to Dallas Car Show Goers *

O’FALLON, MO (Feb. 18, 2010)—The House of Hot Rods “Eye Candy” display 
at this weekend’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Autorama Car Show in downtown 
Dallas, Texas, will feature sweet rides and sweet treats, courtesy of 
the American Drag Racing League (ADRL), which will be providing 
complimentary candy to Dallas Autorama fans.

“The street rods and muscle cars that the House of Hot Rods creates have 
to be seen to be believed; each one is a true piece of automotive art,” 
ADRL President and CEO Kenny Nowling said. “We’ve been fortunate enough 
to have their cars on display at a few of our races and they’re always 
real attention getters, so when Mark (Eddins, owner of House of Hot 
Rods) called to tell me about the Eye Candy show, I knew we had to get 
involved.”

Eddins, who also co-owns LenMar Motorsports with ADRL Pro Extreme 
competitor Gaylen Smith, will have his brand-new, House of Hot 
Rods-built ‘55 Chevy street machine, “Disturbed,” on display at the 
show, as well as the “Anger Management” Fuel Altered he’ll be racing at 
drag strips across Texas this year.

Smith also has a new street ride recently completed by House of Hot Rods 
in the Autorama show, a 1969 Camaro dubbed “Black Diamond” that features 
an LS6 Corvette engine pumped up to 750 horsepower by a Magnacharger 
supercharger under its hood. Smith’s LenMar Motorsports Pro Extreme ’57 
Chevy will also be on the show floor, along with the 1970 Cuda he 
previously raced with the ADRL. The LenMar Motorsports Pro Mod drag boat 
and outlaw dirt car will complete the Eye Candy roster. 

“We’re all looking forward to this show,” said John Paynter, general 
manager at the House of Hot Rods compound in Mansfield, Texas. “It gives 
us a chance to show off what we do to all our friends and families in 
the Dallas area and really offers a showcase for the talents of Chad 
‘Critter’ Mahone, who does all the design work for House of Hot Rods.”

House of Hot Rods Eye Candy at the Dallas Autorama runs Feb. 19-21, at 
Dallas Market Hall, 2200 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207.
