Shame on our otherwise commendable gearhead siblings at Jalopnik! It seems that whenever there's a NOPI-sponsored auto show/drag racing event, a bikini contest is usually somewhere in the vicinity—and they're usually the ones who tip us off to this phenomenon. Yet despite their coverage of a qualifying event in Dallas earlier this month, we're just now finding out about this incredible photo dump featuring over 1,000 pictures of the scantily-clad babes who turned out. Granted, it might have escaped their notice since there's barely any cars to be seen in the photos, but still we rely on those guys to keep track of any hot rod hotties on our behalf. (That's because we're allergic to chrome.) Besides, isn't finding chicks like, the whole point of driving a sweet car in the first place?
