Folks Of Interest Pics from my trip to the USA 2010.

So I have been home a week yesterday, I thought I would post a little pictorial of my Adventures. I have around 2000 pics to go thru.

Basically I have been wanting to visit the US since the late 90s but once I found out Dry Lake and Bonneville Hot Rods would be featured at Pebble Beach I decided 2010 was the year I would do it.
At first I was only going to Pebble Beach and then check out the sights around LA, but then Curt Giovanine asked if I'd like to go to Bonneville as he was going after seeing his dad's & Chuck's restored roadster at PB. After some thought I accepted.

Th plane landed at LAX at around 7am on the 12th of Aug. I was happy to get off as it was my first flight ever, I did not sleep the whole 13 hr flight . Curt picked me up and we headed straight to Pomona to see the NHRA Museum.

 

NHRA Museum Pics

We headed to Ventura and I was able to get some sleep after been awake for around 29 hrs

 

Next day it was off to Petersen Museum

We ate at Johnnie Rockets pretty good food and a great diner.

Fooly Sic!!






































It was cool to see Ray Brown '32. I wish someone would find his rear engined T

 

This is the coolest story, Bill Burke, what a legend!!




















This was the coolest Custom I had ever seen in 1998 and is the reason I bought my first issue of TRJ (#9) I have been buying it since. It was really cool to finally see it in Person.

Then it was off to Hollywood Hot Rods. Great shop, Troy was cool, he was quite busy so I didn't want to take up too much of his time as the shop had a deadline with the Raybestos Pickup I took a few pics and bought a T-shirt and Curt and me headed back to Ventura.

Looks like you had a really good trip. Glad you had fun out here.

 

Hey mate,

Great pics and thanks for sharing...

Looks like you had a great time !!!

Please bring some buddies and come back for another visit and maybe make some of the vintage drag racing and/or traditional Hot Rod Shows.

You're always welcome here at the El Casa de Oklahoma

 

Damn Jimmy! This could almost be labeled 'The coolest Hot Rods according to Doc'.
You must have had a great trip, you photographed just the most legendary cars. I can see your roadster slotting right in along side of many of them!!

Doc.
