Howdy!

We're rounding the corner on Labor Day Weekend.

And hot rod show organizers throughout Southern California didn't get each other's memos.  Because many are happening this weekend. 

To name a few;

Vista Rod Run

,

Ventura Nationals

, and

Cool Run In The Mountains

.  Also,

Arlington Chili Cook-Off In Riverside

. 

Or maybe I didn't get the memo... Maybe they're all scheduled perfectly to end the summer with a bang - cruising from one show to the next!? 

Either way, those and loads of other shows are all linked below.  Along with car-related news I've curated for you! :0)

Hands at 10 and 2.

Best,
