You know I am coming Dennis! Can't wait to get the GTX on that long stretch of I-5 and see what kind of flat out mileage I get. I am pretty happy with the 20mpg over Donner pass and the 17 mpg around town
 
How about Bakersfield Hot Rod Reunion the Friday before? Nostalgic Nitro. Leave for Van Nuys early Saturday.
 
Good chance I'll be going to the Fall Fling. Not sure which day. Probably Saturday as well. Sorry but no GTX this year. The car will still be in Minnesota - finished but not sure that I'll have it shipped down here by then.

It it would be nice to hook up with some other FBBO guys. Where do you guys hang out? I've never been to the fall fling is it heavy Mopars or a spread of everything? I've been to Route 66 and found nothing but GM and Ford products - dozens of caddies. Less interested if it's like that.

Mopars only...

Taking the Dart... Saturday and Sunday..
 
Are they going to have a Malbu cruise at the Fall Fling?? I think I might rather do that than the retro drags.
 
Wish I could be there with you Dennis....it's been a while since I was at the Spring Fling (1988 I think)

The good old days....anyone know if that Concept Charger still exists? And that blue/white Daytona looks remarkably like the one in this video clip....

55 seconds on if you don't like the sounds... :icon_lol:

Apparently Tina Turner was to appear in the clip...but they didn't have space for "Old Spice" :D
 
Yes, Friday there is a Malibu Cruise. Always a fun run. Always a risk that Canadiens will drink all the beer before you get to the Rock Store. image.jpg
Looks like Darius, the Kern and Mary, and Mick M's Roadrunner in this shot at the store.
 
Anyone have the AirTel Host Hotel code or link?

You all should know that this is a ONE DAY show, Saturday only!
Those that intend to be there on Sunday will find that the turnout is pretty weak.
 
I assumed, cause last year was 2 days..
 
AirTel has a discounted rate. Ask about breakfast inclusion. Bladecutter may be there. I love LA. The traffic. The gas prices. All of it.iPadApril2014 1005.jpg
 
Welcome to La La Land! I've got the fling on my calendar. I plan on going. Leaving this week for Minneapolis to do some family time, fishing, friends - and of course take back possession of my GTX. It's been awhile and I'm sure there will be tweaks after all the work she's had. Hope to hook up with you guys that Saturday.
 
don't mean to jump into the conversation but I assume the Malibu run is the Friday before fall fling October 23? I live right in the area and should have my 66 charger up and running by then
