for car shows visit Dave Lindsey website...

Chino airport for some old planes..
March air Force Base..in Riverside..cool stuff there.

 

well you are closer to palm springs if you are going to be in riverside, visit the palm springs airport museum! cool stuff there! and then take a ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway!

 

Well, You could drive out the 60 up Box Springs and see where the raceway WAS. Then you drive up Etiwanda to Foothill and see where Fontana Drag City WAS. We still have a couple of working drive ins though. Palm Springs is an hour away as is the beach and El Mirage. Slight problem with El Mirage. Theres water on the lakebed and its closed to visitors. As mentioned there is the March Field museum and Chino airport. Both well worth a visit. We have a raceway museum but right now the address escapes me.

 

Depending on the dates you will be visiting. John Force has car show at his museum in Corona. Also the NHRA Musuem in Pomona. Ontario has a cool aircraft surplus place called G&J off of Sultana and Holt Blvd. The Pomona swap meet is Dec 5 at Pomona also. It has been 100 degrees the past couple of days, You may get some nice weather!

 

Thanks for all the great imput and ideas to those who posted... Looks like i will be out there somewhere near my Birthday Dec 13th so i am way excited. Wow i almost forgot about the pomona swap meet...what a place.. might be a goodthing i miss it tho... would cost me a grip to try and get some of those parts back to colorado on an airplane.. with the 25 bucks per bag deal they got goin.. Ya fellas i heard about the lakes being a big puddle right now some of the So Cal Road Devils had a few pics up, looked like it was knee level where they were standing..Drag for sure. Well thanks again and any new lookers with bright ideas dont be shy...post it.

Whatever you do, make sure you stop here.

 

The only thing I can think of is the Long Beach swap meet
, www.toppingevents.com, (800) 762-9785. Not a large event but the only thing going.

theres the hot rod hall of fame, def worth a stop, if you want to see some shops theres so-cal, mooneyes, foose's shop is open to the public 12-1 during the week. but thats all in long beach, Huntington area. if you get over to pomona def hit the early ford store, course that might be just as bad as the swap meet

if you get out to long beach def hit the queen mary, its just an amazingly beautiful ship, an if you get over in the pasadena area check out Art Center College of Design. early december would be just before finals so there would be a lot of cool stuff to look at
