can anyone reccommend a hotelly near all the night-time action? i'll be at the show, but don't know where to stay that night... tred.
You know the only hotels that are close to the area are back up in Monrovia on Huntington. There are a few in El Monte, I think they are by the hour though!
I'll be there w/ a few friends Probably won't know too many people Either..But your are more than welcome swing by and have a beer. You can contact me a graham_hibbs@yahoo.com.
Lets keep this going. I am cranking on my wiring kit to get the '53burb out in all it's glory!!!!!!!!!! Less than a week away. I am getting all the happy feelings again just like before the HAMB chop '06!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KNUX!
Way to 53burb!, Git her done! I am just getting started with mine, I know I am not gonna drive it in, The floor shifter is not in yet!!!! but Oh well I will still go and kick it with the HAMBERS... I am getting a hat made with the HAMB sign on it, so every knows I am a HAMBER! MKSTR!
Only a couple miles away are a few on Huntington Dr. Me and Rex scouted these out a couple weeks ago. Oak Park Motel (cool, old school looking-$65) Phone is 626 358 1148, and Duarte Inn (hidden off the main drag, kind cool, within walking distance of food/coffee/and more, is $75 two beds, and $66 1 bed) Phone is 626 357 0907
Ya might want to hold off on that hat. Get the o.k. from the head honcho 1st, Ryan!!!!!!!! Just a heads up for ya. KNUX!
I have no idea. A lot of "changing of the guard" type stuff is going on here. I may stay in the Motel (go there after Bob's) and go to Mooneyes, park, then LEAVE to go back home to recieve a car i'm buying, then come back to Mooneyes. OR, i might come home after Bob's, sleep at home abnd wait for the car, and go to Mooneyes LATE (11AMish). I'm so confused/excited
Shit!!!!!!!!!!!! Just by reading all that, ya got me confused. Let me make it simple, ya gonna be there or not? hehe!!!!!!!! I will see ya there Groucho! KNUX!

Seems to me that the mufflers/wheel studs/arm restraints are going to eliminate a shitpot of cars from the racing portion of the day. Too bad Chico couldn't have found a place that would actually allow HOT RODS to race!
