Event Coverage Nor Cal action packed weekend! Deadend Cruise, Gambino Sitdown and Strangers BBQ Pics

alright, was a long weekend!
early a.m. friday 3 of us hopped in a rental and headed for nor cal! after driving old cars as daily's for my entire driving career (12 years) it was quite awkward driving a modern vehicle with power everything. i found myself over steering and and over breaking. what did i learn, as nice as air conditioning is, i HATE modern cars!

now, our weekend began with the Deadend Cruise night in S.J. was a great turn out!!!!
one of the first things is see...






was good to see so many people from Los Angeles make the drive up!

thanks eric for making the drive even if the rental car wasn't fun .( i like taking them off road just to make it a little more fun ) the pics are great and im glad you guys had a good time ...all three days !! and thanks to everyone for the support of a great 3 day weekend ...

 

Rental car was pretty cool. It was sort of kandy plum with a mini (very min) flake.. and with 4 fat guys riding it was lower than some of the cars in the show
