The Cal-look Lounge

Great day (a bit chilly though).  Had a lot of fun running into everyone.  Got some great advice from Schwimmer and Plummer, thanks guys.  Totally fun.  Seemed like lots of broken tranny's this year or sumthin'.  Great crowd today.  Where are all the "young" kids?  Or is 90% of the VW crowd an old dude like me and Sarge (no offense Sarge)  Are they all Toyko drift fans?  Wazzup?  Is it me?  How about this... does Sarges car get BETTER looking everytime I see it?  That, or maybe it's just because I have been staring at it for the last 2 months on the cover of "that" book sitting on my coffee table!
And, I ran into a survivor DKK car from the early 80's.  Manual (his name) had the original club stickers in the window and everything.  This guy has had the oval rag all these years.  Told him to get his a$$ on this site and post a few pics for you guys.
Peace.  Enjoy the pics and hope more are posted.

I heard the Red Baron had a minor crash.

Wooooo Hoooo.....  Good time today!!  Nice assessment of the scene, Worm and many thanks for the props.  I'm thinkin' that's one of the largest attendances I can recall.  The Cape crapped out on me (nooooo problemo: more beer for me) which left me free to take a butt load of pics..... 8)

This car was VERY nice.... 8)

 :o

Hope the Red Baron is OK... I left early and heard nothing of any crash.  The size of the turbo on that thing is amazing! 8) 8)

That's ex-DRFer Mike Dunphy talking with John Lazenby in the last shot.

 ;D

 8)  Some nice custom sleds parked out back....

 The End.... >:( ;D

Thanks for the photos guys!

Lots of fun today, good people & nice cars. Thankfully, I was able to walk the swap area without buying anything!! Whew, that was close ;)

Guys, I think we might need an intervention here... DKK Fred was spotted numerous times hanging around the VW Rat-Rods ::) (just kidding Fred ;D)

After seeing some of those rolling toilets, it really makes you appreciate a well built Cal-Looker.

Next stop, Bug-In!

great photo's, wish I could've made it.

Yes, thanks for the photos.  Looks like it was a great turnout.

Man, pictures like those make me want to move to SoCal so I could make it to all of these events!

The Red EMPI53 is THE survivor DKK car I was talking about!  Great plate.  Dave Rosique, thanks for taking on the role of delivery guy for me.  Great to (re)meet you.  And Sarge those sleds were bad ass.  I'm a fan of looking at em' but have zero interest in ever driving/owning one.  It was awesome seeing all that early 50's grill and bumper chrome.  Whats with the primer car and spending 100's having it pin striped?  Too much fun.
Peace.

Who owns the light green car with ghost flames? Nice car! 8)

Is that almost cloud cover?!?! I'm not so bothered about not being over there for it now I've seen that, looks shit.

 :P

Cool pics, thanks for posting.  8)

Great photos all!

I especially liked the way the rubber sits in relation to the fenders on this one!  :o

Fantastic job with the photos Mark!!  (Sarge too) Mark I only saw you the once when you were shooting me from the tower. I saw your car though and noticed the headlight rings and got a shot. It was a real fun event although for me it was mostly wasted in the staging lanes. I had no idea that was Mike Smith I was next to him in staging practicaly the whole day. Well again great job on the coverage thanks a million.
Jason

  BTW: Mark giving Mr. Makepeace that Bellflower frame that my friend was a Class act bud.

great shots Mark.  I also can't wait for the next event.

great pictures mark. like always

Very well done Mark & Jim. Thanks very much! 8) 8)

It's an APAL !

Hey Mark.... I saw the guy selling the wheels, too.  There were two Halibrand spindle mounts for sale with the five spokes (you can see a little bit of one on the left of the photo).  I asked how much... the dude said "two".... "as in two hundred", I asked.... "two thousand" :o was the reply.

a fixer upper  :o ;)

great job guys , very cool pictures as usual

thanks for finally posting action pictures off a drag day Mark...  ;D

and that project car is not the only one build as it ended up thrird place in it's class.

as for Richies interiour, i must say i am surprised, very weird to even see two seats. and covered  :o, must be rules and regulations that cars need to run a full interiour.

anyway great pics all and seems like most had a good time.

Mark - great pics and COMMENTARY - thanks man.

Loved the pictures,..helped take some of the sting off not being able to go. I do like the pic of the wheels,...hmm where have I seen those before.

The car,...a Bogart or Borgwart, or something? Brazilian?

Excellent! Thanks Mark for the great report and the pictures!

Very c 8)  8) l!
