    If you head out to Pomona for the GN Roadster Show, you've GOT to stop by the NHRA museum on the fairgrounds. Lots of early cars from back in the day, lots of historic photos and memoribilia, and plenty of style inspiration from the early competition cars. A must-do!

    If you're coming in any other weekend, the Petersen Museum is a great visit! Always lots of kool stuff to see there.

    For breakfast, El Merendero on the backside of the dragstrip in Pomona if you're going to the Roadster Show. Been the place for breakfast at the drags since Hector was a pup. And he's an old dog now. If you go to the NHRA Museum be sure to pay homage to Mike Mitchell's car. He was the World's Fastest Hippie" and an original Viper.

    stude - ya, I do alot of reading right now(still learning as you know)

    I am sure that WCC is starting to hate all the "visitors" thet just want to go in there, but whatever, customers can browse too!

    What other shops are cool in the LA area? anyone? parts or clothing or just cool stuff to see.

  12. Well last Monday we visited SoCal in Pomona, Hot Rods R&C in Chino, John Force's on Yorba Linda, MoonEyes, Boyds, California Street Rods (closed on Mondays:-(), West Coast Choppers and the first Hard Rock Cafe in America (LA).

    We'd already done the Peterson, GNRS, NHRA Museum and Farmers Market (right next to the hollowed grounds of the Gilmore speedway).

    Helps to have an understanding wife:)
