Some photos of the show.

First up, the Herbie Hancock CSX2006

Looking for a tire shop to mount tires on knock off rims, where I can drive my Cobra to the shop. I'm told that Lee's Tires on Lomita near Western can do it. Has anyone used them? Any other recommendations?  I am near LAX.

A number of videos have been released recently, with more to come.

While reading through the book titled Flat Out! The Rollie Free Story, John Timanus is mentioned racing an Ariel 500cc single, in 1947, at Rosamond dry lake, and winning the 30.50 inch gas class with a speed of 98.32 MPH.  Does anyone know more about John's motorcycle racing efforts?

The ISBN of the book is 9780979340703

Anyone know if Voss Performance is still in business?  The phone number I found online, 714 773-9107, is not in service.

The July/August 2020 issue of the So Cal Auto Club magazine Westways has a feature on Hank Williams.

It's airing Monday at 11AM on KCOPDT3, not sure if it will be available outside the LA area.  It played last year at the Cinerama Dome. A number of drivers from that era are in it, a few with speaking parts. A decent movie.

A friend of mine that restores cars and motorcycles lost his lease, and is looking for space to rent, in the westside of Los Angeles.  He needs 500 sq ft or larger, with 220v 3 phase.  He is willing to share a facility.  Contact Haig Alltounian at 310-477-8821.

In the goodie bag given out at the Tony Sousa show, what is this used for?

Season 8 episode 17 premiers Tuesday evening, check your provider for time. Mine says 8 PM Pacific. On the History channel.

The description says "Danny Koker restores a 1969 Shelby GT500 numbers-matching car from a rust bucket into an instant classic".

Other showings are Wed at midnight and Sun at 1 PM

Does anyone have a list of the records it set?

April 7th. If you haven't been to SCS in a while, the location is now Pierce College. Enter off Victory Blvd.

I hear there is a yearly event for LASAAC on SBS. If the weather cooperates, what are the details on the event? Where to meet? What time?

Assuming the road is open by then, anyone interested in going for a drive up Bouquet Canyon, then Elizabeth Lake road, Lake Hughes road, or whatever, Saturday Dec 15th?

Had a nice time.  Well organized, and it was great to be indoors.

I see two styles of Cobra license plate frames.  I like the one with all 4 mounting holes, but have limited space.  The frame with 4 holes is available from www.carrollshelbymerchandise.com, while the one with 2 holes is available from Tony Branda www.cobranda.com, and likely other sources.  Can anyone tell me the outside height dimension of either frame?
