Default West Coast Adventure

Hi guys. As you may have read, we have just returned from a 4 week family vacation of the US west coast. We took in San Francisco, Napa Valley, Sacramento, Las Vegas and L.A. with lots of things in between. We also managed to see some concerts along the way with Motley Crue and Alice Cooper in Wheatland Ca, Journey and Steve Miller Band in Vegas, Aerosmith and Slash also in Vegas as well as ZZ Top and Jeff Beck at the Greek Theatre in L.A. We also managed to sneak in some car related stuff too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] which included the NHRA race at Sonoma, the twilight cruise at the NHRA museum in Pomona, cruise night at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, Donut Derelicts in Huntington Beach, Pomona Swap Meet and it goes on.
Plans are already afoot for a return which will be planned around next years MCACN and a visit to Pavilions amongst other things, to hopefully put some names to faces. Anyway...a few pics.

Sonoma




The whitest teeth in drag racing!


Ron Capps- allround nice guy


Dan Fletcher- Sportsman racing Goliath




Tony Schumacher with my son Joel


A highlight for me to meet Ed &quot;The Ace&quot; Mc Culloch. Five time Indy winner and arguably the best pro racer to never win a NHRA championship.


Jack Beckman hanging the laundry



A couple from the car show at the track
