Event Coverage Blackie Gejeian Roast 11/03/12 Fresno

Just a couple of quick pics of 3 tours and the Downtown Party. More info/pics tomorrow:

 

back again-first, went to the three semi-private "garage" tours-Wow, nice stuff- if you like '32 Fords & more John Lawson's Museum is the place. Then, if you like full size rides and smaller ones with planes & more Leroy's has them. If you prefer a wide variety of show winning rides Charlie Lambet*****o's Museum has 'em. But, if you wanted to see some cool rides, with a lot of big (& little) time people in the car world Blackie's Party at the Grand 1401 was the place.***** Enjoy The Pics *****
