Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

And where Don Carr(first over 300 at the lakes) and the late Barry Kaplan had one of their race shops.

A very famous group of small buildings near the corner of Ventura and Hazeltine in Van Nuys, CA.

Several years ago at Bonneville Kent showed me pictures of how he hand bent the 18"? wide sections of the 1/8" steel monocoque chassis .

John, how far along is you streamliner? Is it 50% 75%?  If I lived back there I would be a volunteer for sure. How long is you car?  George

Bak,

I was reminded today that I was slightly off course:

"Actualy the shop was at Woodman & Moorpark-Ed Pink was there at one time also.  Barry came later."

Beer must have confused my early GPS.
