What should I do in Sacramento on March 5th?

I am going to be in Sacramento March 5th (a Monday). It's a solo business trip from Iowa and I'll have all afternoon and evening to kill. I have never been to Northern California before.

What should I go see or do?

Any Monday night cruise nights?

Thanks.

Future birthplace of cap'n Kirk and the current home of a riverboat casino in a bean field.

 

Go on up to Antioch and see John D'Agostino...or to Auburn to see Joe, "The Candy Apple King" Bailon...DeRosa is somewhere around there close, I think...

R-

 

Sac Vintage Ford is worth checking out...they close at 6, so I'd suggest hitting that up early. I can't think of anything going on that night as far as events.

If you do go down toward the bay area, you might want to check out Gambino Kustoms (he's on here under that name, so check with him for shop times).

OZ Kustoms is up in Oroville...a little over an hour North of Sac.

There always the Towe Auto Museum right there in Old Sac

 

Thanks guys!

I just found out I will also be there Sunday afternoon and evening as well as Monday afternoon and evening.

Bttt

 

there is a couple gentlemens clubs in fair oaks.

 

Actually, they're in Citrus Heights...uh, I heard...

Bryan

 

thats right. its been so long since i was told about them... ha ha.

 

check out willaminas bar in old town sacramento. good food and a cool place to hang out .It s a car guy type place.

 

check out Ben at Roseville Rod n Custom
Scott,Donny,Rob @ Blue Collar Customs

 

Isn't that considered Rancho Cordova?

 

There are two out there too...near Vintage Ford

And definitely what SpeedAddict suggested. Bertolucci's is off Stockton Blvd., but it's only a body shop now. Still cool if you're into that kind of thing.

Definately go to Vintage Ford and check things out. Ask for Darold and tell him the Poor Boys sent you over, you'll get the grand tour. He's a super nice guy.

I'll check the Crisin' News here and see if there's anything going on for those dates.

 

Anybody know where Sam Barris' shop used to be?

 

Cut and pasted from story about Sam:

In later years, Sam grew tired of the hectic pace in Los Angeles and returned to the Sacramento area and settled in Carmichael to raise his family. He had married Joyce Lampson, his childhood sweetheart with whom he had two children, Johnny and Pam. Sam wanted his children to have the advantages of country life. He was an avid horseman as are both of his children. He worked as a fire fighter and later was elected Fire Commissioner for Carmichael, occasionally doing a custom job or restoring a vintage automobile in his home shop until his untimely passing from cancer in 1967.

 

Couldn't find anything happening for the first part March in the Crusin' News.

 

I had skipped your post about being here on Sunday. If you get here early enough, there's a swap meet at 19th and W st, under the WX freeway starting at 6AM. It usually only goes to about noon or 1PM.

 

i agree! we love having visitors come check out the new shop...its certainly worth coming to see, lots of cool stuff always going on at roseville rod...

 

I loose power for a few days and look at all the posts I get!

There are still like 100,000 homes in Eastern Iowa without power from the ice storm last week!

I am absolutely going to go to try to check out Blue Collar Customs, Vintage Ford, Roseville Rod and Custom and Bertolucci's. I assume these shops are closed on Sundays so Monday should be a busy day!

Does someone have an address for Blue Collar Customs and Bertolucci's?

I won't get in on Sunday until 1 in the afternoon so I'll miss the swap meet but thanks for the heads up!

Anybody free Sunday or Monday for dinner?

Thank again to everyone!

go drinking: the Bonn Lair is a nice irish pub off of 35th and J

 

Off of highway 50 @ Bradshaw, RPM indoor go-kart racing! Not quite like shifter kart, but a 100X better than those mini golf places. If you like to drive you'll enjoy it, and you can do it in the evening when all the rod shops are closed.
