Event Coverage 2nd Salinas Car Show ***Pix by PhatCaddy

Great show. They said 160 cars last year and this year over 200 this year. While competing with GG Pleasanton, Monterey Rock and Rod Show, and a couple other local shows. That area has some of the finest lowriders and customs and Cole Foster swung by for a while and I talked to Rod Powell for a bit. The weather reminded me of SM though. They kept everyone busy:

Bands I remember.... The Rev Tones, Los High Tops, The Rockets.

Bass-off
Pin-up contest

looks like fun. was that just yesterday or was it today also?

 

Thanks everyone.
JK, too funny.
Just Saturday show.
It was a bit long (awards at 4pm) but the bands, pin-up contest and especially the "bass-off" were cool.
Those wheels were very feastive and gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that. There was a lot of Non-HAMB material there but made it a great mix.

Oh yea, WTF happen to my SM to Salinas friends? Did you guys get lost on the way from breakfast.

The Bass Off....sounds like a fun thing...I assume it was a 'Battle of the Bass players' and not a pair of H*nda's with dumb ass sound systems...

 

Really? A lowered and shaved Cadillac? I would take that car any day, just changed the wheels.

 

Looks like a nice show...thanks for the coverage

 

You are correct sir.
