I was looking at an old photo taken of Dean Lowry at OCIR, and I was wondering, what ever happen to that mile-long Empi sign that once was bolted to the right side grandstand fence? Now, how cool would that be today? So, thinking about other signs, I would love to own the original Empi sign that Fumio Fukaya has on his wall (that used to point the way to Empi's location). Then there are the two Deano Dyno-Soars signs that used to hang in Compeition Engineering.... Think of any more?

The only two that I would want are the Lakewood Motors one from my local VW dealer in the late '70s. Also, any of the Service ones and the one with the VW head. And the Long Beach Auto Haus, where I used to work.



I hear an old friend of mine, Dave Rosique, has that one... lucky dawg.

The DKP Top Ten list board would be a treasure at this point as well.... Come on Fleming, I know you got it stashed somewhere in the attic.

I own this one too, except now the stickers have been removed and an NOS camber compensator has been attached like it was when new.
It's 2ft x 4ft and wood !
