Damn, what a cool setting for a drag race and car gathering event. Wish I could be there, have a natural ball! ~sololobo~

 

We still have some vendor spots available, call me at 619-573 2637

 

I think the best part of the show is the location, Barona is a magical place, as you drive up the hill and drop down into the valley, there it is, Hot Rod Nirvana, like an abstract painting , you see this old fifties track nestle in between these two canyons with cars hauling ass to a vanishing point, It's on an Indian Reservation, for the Indians have the right idea, their idea of progress is leaving things alone, it's has'ent been mared with concrete and square buildings, this place has caracter, the track with it's old wooden bleachers almost sings of races gone by, the area is layed out on differ'ent tiers wich offers you a fantastic view of the track, and is contrasted with huge boulders the size of a house, the suroundings are peaceful and relaxing and makes you forget your problems, The best part is at night, as you sit and bench race with your buddies , and as you bend your head back to sip your beer , you see this pitch black sky riddled with stars you have never seen in your life as you listen to the sounds of the bands echo off the cayon walls, you are not confined to a certain spot and you can walk to the different camp sites and check out the cars and meet new people, It's the freedom you feel as you wander around and contemplate on how life used to be, simple and uncomplicated.

 

That time of year already. Looking forward to this year. Drag racing, cars, girls, music. I have yet to be to a better show.

If I can't get it figured out I'll still be out there taking photos and having a good time. I'm just now finally starting on the '52 again this weekend, once I can get the front clip done (which is the biggest hurdle for me). I should be able to make some good headway on it this summer.

 

Give me a call when you get there, please ask your mom if she needs a vending booth ?

 

a lot of guys get lost every year on their way to Barona, so if you are coming north of san Diego, hear is the easiest way to arrive, take the 5 or the 15 or the 805 south to the 8 east, as you get into El Cajon, take the 67 north to the secound signal light on the freeway, that's willows rd. make a right, you will see a Circle K there, buy youre beer there because they don't sell beer on the Barona Indian Reservation , head east on willows rd. to the first stop sign, make a left and take wild cat cayon rd. up the hill, when you get to the top , you will see the Barona Casino, keep heading north aboat 4 miles, you will see the track on your left side.

 

Here's the line up for the bands, friday night , The Bobby sanchez Combo and Road Noise, Saterday , D .J. Axle , The Pioneers , Cactus Jacks, Hard Fall Hearts, Creepy Creeps, The Hell on Heels Burlesque troop, Dead Bolt.
