Here are a few. We'll get there about 6:30am to assure we get a parking spot.

How come the engine in my Toyota doesn't look like the one in the Bentley?

David,

here is a pic of the Pierce, unfortunately this car was lost to a fire last Feb.

I might bring down "Pop's coupe" if I go.

I rode in a number of cars at the event. Once with Ralph Ricks if you remember him around here.

I was there with my 1930 Huckster last year for the first time. I will return this year but now with a Mitchell tranny and overdrive for the 90-mile freeway drive to the park. Jay Leno was there last year. There were a lot of broken-down cars on the route and a lot of trailer queens.

Wayno, yes some of us remember Ralph and his yellow speedster fondly. I supported him a couple of years when he ran the Great Race. I never did see his Surf City Sound T truck that I think the speedster was converted from. Which one did you ride in??
