Honestly, that is the LA Convention center doing LA Convention Center things.. They have an incredible list of requirements, and they make the shows pay for them.. There were so many bored employees standing around 'enforcing' convention center 'regulations' who knew they were doing nothing.. They just stand there, bored, collecting a paycheck, and waiting for the show to end so they can go home. We would not have to deal with that at say, the Auto Club Speedway, but then we would be baking out in the sun all day on asphalt..

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

But all things considered, I'd never live out there. You do have nice weather though.

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Still dialing in #529. Brakes are now 100% solid. Timing and Carbs need some adjustment. New exhaust is too tame. Need to swap out for something more aggressive.
New side trim install coming soon. Still deciding whether to keep the original rims and add new white Wall Tires, or upgrade to a set of gold panasports.
Houston was in the upper 70's today, so I drove around Cinco Ranch, Texas, adjusting carbs along the way.

Thanks, Tom. This project has been the epitome of fixing previous owner's sins. Slowly getting it back to proper.
Working up the motivation to put on the side trim next...

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
So, took the pretty car out for some pictures..
Got a set of new tires to try out.. Went down to Kevin's and mounted them up..
Put the roll bar and the seat in the car, the tires on, Kevin and I beat out the fenders a bit, and I headed out to the desert..
Beautiful out there..
Chuckwalla is an awesome track..
Then I had to take the pretty car for one more drive..
Been a great week!
