iDSC Weekly - 6.11.25

Howdy,

Father’s Day Weekend is rolling!

And if you’re feeling like a car show… you’ve got options everywhere - all weekend!

Rodeo Drive Concours is always a sight to see - but get their early. Because it gets nuts quick. I’ve highlight a bunch of additional options below. But there’s even more listed throughout the iDSC Events calendar.

Gas Policy & Prices
Last week I mentioned an upcoming interview about gas policy and prices with CA Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones and that remains in the works.

Leno’s Law
Next week I’ll have another talk with SEMA specifically regarding Leno’s Law. That’s moving forward, although it’s been amended. And our voices are needed to help drive this across the finish line. Moreover getting it there in a condition Jay Leno and it’s CA Senatorial author originally intended.

All the news and events are linked below.

Keep driving,
