    At-least $48.99 delivered, random search turned one up. Rather pleasantly surprised. I like Miller/Masters, they have their peculiarities though. For along time everyone wanted S/SR Winfields. But recently barrel throat stuff is getting more and more pricey. Used to score V's for less than 100 bucks. Miller stuff of course has just gone full retard.

  13. A landowner out here has contacted TROG organizers to see if they're interested in putting on a Race of Gentlemen on a large property. Only this would be in the "Dirt", not the "Salt". He's not heard back from them as yet. The only event coming up soon for "Bangers" on the West Coast is the Santa Margarita Time Trials on July 8th! For details on that contact [email protected]

    I enjoyed the reliability run the Friday before very much too. About 100 miles on twisty mountain roads. This is open to all hot rods in addition to the hill climb drivers cars. I thought it was nice that people who drive cars to the Hillclimb to spectate can enjoy a day of touring. Reminded me of a day of an AACA glidden tour. There is also a longer drive on more mountain roads on sunday after he hill climb.
