Good morning!

We've got some big annual car shows happening this weekend.  And hopefully the weather holds out.  Some rain is in the forecast.

All the shows and news I've curated for you are linked below.

Also, we've been gathering all the SoCal racetracks.  So they're easy to find in one location. 

Here's that list
