Hi, Have anybody ever been Sec swap meet before? Its in Secramento raceway tomorrow. I wonder if there is a ton of part for hunting?? Is it big or small swap meet? Thank you.
Been there many times, and will be tomorrow, with a lot of useless junk-er, highly valuable vintage automobile parts and accessories Usually a pretty good meet, especially if you're looking for used race stuff. Trying to get one of my '40 Ford pickups ready to bring, might not make it and just bring my little trailer of goodies

I went today. I was there about 10 min. There is a lot of race parts but I don't drive fast. So I gone back home earlier.
And you expected what? It is at a dragstrip after all LOL- HOT rods, not street rods. Absolutely NO "Thumper" (AKA Poser) cams. No rat rods. No phony blowers. No fake "gassers". I did find a decent set of headlight rings for my '40 Ford pickup, complete with the parking light lenses, for $40. Also a couple sets of K-Motion 1000 solid roller valve springs for $40 each, and a NIB set of Flowmaster race 2-1/2" to 4"collector/mufflers for $40, and a NIB set of forged TRW 390+.030 pistons with Sealed Power rings for $40. BTW, seller's admission price was- you know
yep, makes no difference if big or small, rain or shine if you find the part you need/want at a price good for you it is always a good swap
So I'm on my way to the swap meet, croozin' up Hwy 50 around Watt Ave close to Bradshaw, and traffic is swerving in front of me- I look ahead and see a bunch of large brightly colored objects across the #3 lane- get closer and see it's 4 beat-up kayaks. Sure enough, a few hundred yards ahead is a mini-SUV pulled into the median, young kid with his hat on backwards on his cell, and his tall hottie GF is screaming and waving her arms at him So this poor kid now has 4 trashed kayaks, probably a few dents in the SUV, and has to call the CHP to tell them he's just created a traffic hazard on a very busy highway, but his GF has to rant at him because he's not suffering QUITE enough to suit her Of course, SHE would have tied them down perfectly And people ask why I'm not married LOL
When they can't figure out which way the bill of a cap goes, strapping down kayaks must seem like rocket science. But you did say his GF was hot.
