In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome.  In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.  In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.

Holt Arena 2024: Hot Rods ‘Attitude check!’

I went through U.S. Army basic training in 1982 (Fort ‘Lost-in-the-Woods’, Missouri), and at the end of a rough day the Drill Sergeants would yell “Attitude check!”, and we would always respond “Fuck it!”.  In many ways those were better days than today.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show.  This is just a couple of the many Hot-Rods in the show.

2024, Holt Arena-ICCU Dome Part-2: Chrome in the Dome

In January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.  The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, in the Holt Arena-ICCU Dome.

Holt Arena 2024, PART-1: CHROME IN THE ICCU DOME

Holt Arena 2024, part-1: Chrome in the ICCU Dome

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, probably for the last time in ‘Holt Arena’.  That’s because in January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.

The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

My children all had their high school graduations in Holt Arena, and I attended my own graduation from ISU in Holt Arena.  It’s also used for many things other than sports and graduations, such as the Pocatello Spring Fair, farm shows and car shows, let’s go!

Custom trophies for custom cars! Trophies were made by Idaho State University-College of Technology Automotive Program students.

Pine Ridge Mall-South Wing: Inaugural indoor Winter/New Year Car Show!

Due to some instigation (possibly by a secret society of conspiratorial automotive enthusiasts), the Pine Ridge Mall, in Chubbuck, Idaho, held its inaugural indoor Winter/New Year automobile show.  It was the weekend of January 13th & 14th, 2024.

Pine Ridge Mall-North Wing: Ol’ Blue ’72, an Idaho original!

Purchased new in 1972, in Rupert, Idaho, this old F-250 is still owned by the same family.  It was recently restored in Pocatello, Idaho, with a lot of help from friends.  Sadly, the original owner died before the restoration was completed.

It was shown-off during the weekend of January 13th & 14th, 2024, in the Pine Ridge Mall, in Chubbuck, Idaho.
