Event Coverage LBCC "Cruise To The Lake". Thanks and Pics.

Well, we had our first club sponsored event and it was a blast. The weather was great. The location was nice. And best of all, we got to spend time with our friends and admire some beautiful cars.

We had 65 cars turn out. Not bad for our first club event. And not bad for a winter show. There were lots of Hambers and friends from other clubs. Lots of great cars. It was nice to see everyone drive in to the spot.

We raffled off a few small prizes and a couple bigger ones. Somebody got a $60 gift cert to Greenspans. Another guy got a signed and framed Keith Weezner print. The winner of the 50/50 raffle walked away with $170. It was fun.

The real success of the event was that we raised over $200 for The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Thanks to all who took part in the 50/50 raffle and a big thanks to the Hell's Belles for their donation! The money will be used to by things that the kids need at the hospital and we will be hand-carrying the gifts to make sure they get to those kids. A big thanks to you guys.

All in all, it was a good little turnout for our first shindig. And even better than that, we got to spend a February saturday saoking in the sun and admiring cars with our friends. That makes it all worth it. We hope to keep doing this event and hope to see it grow.

One highlight for me personally, was Conrad bringing the Lopez Merc! I've been geeking out over that car since I was a little kid. Thank you Conrad! Lots of great history there and more being made with the restoration. It was so cool to see how much of the original build is still intact and functioning properly. Very cool indeed.

 

Here are some pics.

BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO MADE IT OUT.

Special thanks to our club brother Gavin for finding such a great spot. It had a beautiful view of a lake, clean bathrooms, nice piknick areas with BBQ pits, the tiered parking lot area was perfect, and it was hassle free.

Special thanks to the Autoholics for taking our BOULEVARDOS HORSESHOE CHALLANGE. (better luck next time )

The car show season just got a Feb show added to kick it all off.

Here's some of my pix...













You should have heard this sleeper racing out of the parking lot...cooool!








I hear that the white Chevy truck in front is a work in progress from a up and coming painter: Mr. Rusto Leum. Looking good Mr. Leum!
