We took a trip to San Pedro to check out the Whitewall Nationals on Saturday, July 16 here in SoCal. Show promoter, Eddie Greenwood had all the real estate for this custom/hot rod/bike car show in the Port of Los Angeles. You can listen to our podcast interview with Eddie here. Also up on the podcast we talk about whats doin' with William's truck and what is in store coming up post surgery, upcoming interviews like Tony from Jamco Parts, Race of Gentlemen and other shows coming up...and MORE!

 

 

We met with Tony Colombini, from Blacktop Magazine and Tony Genty of Jamco Parts. Great folks and more to come with future podcasts.

 

We can't forget Rodney Alen Rippy and Bill Montgomery from Prime Motivation. These guys are putting the words of automotive in the ears of high school kids where the trade classes have died. These are our future mechanics. We'll be interviewing Bill soon, stay tuned.

Back at the Galaxie Studio after a long day at Autoclub Speedway in Fontana for autocross sponsored by Hotchkis Suspension, we were participants rather than spectators. Listen to  how our day went, but more importantly how Project Nickel and Dime did on its real test of being road worthy again. Plus more garage talk and the usual banter between the boys.

Big thanks to Marc Lewis from Hedman Hedders, Magnaflow Exhaust and Maradyne High Performance Fans!

“The Grand daddy of ‘em all”, yes it’s the Grand National Roadster Show at the Fairplex in Pomona, CA. We skipped this show last year opting to attend the annual Turlock swap meet in the central California valley. It was time to get back to the grassroots of vintage Americana “junk” and we enjoyed the road trip. But this year marked the 67th annual roadster event and boy was it great. This show features the custom car builders, painters and upholsterers that debut their talents and dedication to the automobile into an artform. Every participant had an exceptional car on display. This year’s winner for the coveted AMBR award (America’s Most Beautiful Roadster) went to Darryl Hollenbeck from Concord, CA. Congrats! Job well done. Maybe we should mention he’s married to the sister of Roy Brizio. Hot rodding runs deep in that family.

One of the exhibit buildings also featured all machines dedicated to land speed racing. There were prime examples of numerous land speed record holders from El Mirage to Bonneville.

400 mph records on land seems a bit crazy and quite mind boggling when you’re standing next to these engineered land missiles. The quest for speed never rests, salt or dirt. Something else to mention is the non-profit organization dedicated to saving the salt flats. Literally calling themselves “Save the Salt”. That’s the que for you to go to their website and donate to preserve the deteriorating salt bed in Utah.

The Suede Palace is also a place of unrest with vintage hot rods and customs. Some have paint, some don’t, but all have more character than a roomful of Hollywood movie extras. On the outer aisles in the Palace were your retro vendors such as; Rat Fink t-shirts, pinstrippers, pinup girl photography and restored vintage motorcycle helmets and riding jackets. Throw in DJ Axle, The Mighty Mojo, The Show Men or The Hula Girls bands, in the corner and you have a party!

Other festivities included: DJ Vic Slick, John Ewald Five, Pin-up girl contest, pinstrippers charity auction, model car contest and autograph signing with Kent McCord, actor from Adam-12. Also worth mentioning was a huge display from Galpin Auto Sports featuring The Munster Mobile designed and built by George Barris.

We’re scheduled to return in 2018 since the we will probably be sifting through cool junk in Turlock next January.

Episode Re-Post

 

The Chatsworth illegal street racers were sentenced this week for the February crash that killed two spectators in 2015. We felt it would be a good opportunity to re-post our podcast interview with Donald Galaz from the Brotherhood of Street Racers from July of 2015 regarding illegal street racing and re-opening a secure, safe facility on Terminal Island.  Please support LAStreetleagal.com and Project Street Legal
