Route 66 Ron-Day-Vooo (rendevous?)
Alright, forgive the french for the screwed-up way they put their vowels together....bass-ackwards as they are...musta been some Renault designer...
Saw your post, Manny, thought I'd add one too.
Although I didn't make it this year, I've gone to this three/four day event many past years. It's always a blast, and most years the 2500 vehicle limit gets filled up. Believe me, that's a LOT of street rods in one place!
Many, Manny, great ones, really cherry ones, from all over SoCal....you name it, I've seen it there...Panteras, Vettes,'Birds, Stangs, Cobras, Vipers, Camaros, Cudas, and more, all the Baddest and Rarest can be found at this annual event...old and new. People are lined up 10 deep around some parts of the parade route.... All kinds of fun, and craziness, too!! Cool Bands, Dick Dale is usually there, and lots of activities for the kids, and lots of free stuff from Stater Brothers, the events sponsor.
I just had to mention my favorite part of this event~ (besides just hanging out and Booty/Car watching....love them short shorts-lol) ..and that is the
BURNOUT AND FIRE-THROWING CONTESTS!!! You have to see it to believe it!
Burnouts three minutes long, till the tires blow off the rim,vast clouds of smoke and bleach...open headers, gotta love it! And the other? Napalm-like fire shooting out from both exhausts for thirty feet back....seems quite useful for traffic jams.....quite a display for pyro-lovers....
and the crowd goes wild!!
I have never seen ANYTHING quite like it anywhere!!
(whether from the injectors, carb, or exhaust, blowing fire out of your car from somewhere, always gets lots of oohs and aaahs,
and rightly so....haha)
Happens every September, downtown Berdoo..see you there......!!!
Git your kicks, at Route 66!! Got Boost? Rock On! ~95pearlbird
-Just don't mess with some H.Angels "mama", (that would be the ones in the leather chaps, and wife-beater tank tops, with the hairy ~~~, as mentioned above) or you will find yourself involved in some unfortunate predicament which gains mention in the "crime log" section of the local paper the next day... That part about "getting out while you can"...???...now that's a wise man....lol***
PS- Manny, go for the 3:91 Posi~if you can find one. That's what I had in my 340 "Wedge" Duster, way better than the 3:23's for street rod gearing!
