The Gas Up was a blast, so many great LSR people, and the ones we have lost remembered . Seeing and hearing the stories are wonderful. The Gas Up facility was built by Jack Mendenhall and he had traveled all over the country and collected for over 40 years to make this happen.
The tri-tip dinner was super. Many door prizes including a 26" flat screen TV. The Ack Attack motorcycle, Fergusons streamliner and the B &N roadster were on display as well as a bunch of other hot rods outside the compound.The weather was perfect as well.

I'm really glad I went.  :-D I had driven down for Dana Wilsons services and while there it was suggested that I head up to the Gas Up. Good move.  :cheers: Wayno

Home at last.

Never has an event flashed past me so rapidly. So many people. So little time.

There were people that I saw for an instant and never remember of seeing them again.

People who have had health issues that they have survived.  What a revelation.

I think it's time to leave the camera home and sit in one place and enjoy the view.

Gold Coast, you are awesome. Best wishes for Tim when they repair him.

Matt, save some energy for later in life.

Some of the deviants on their way to a very slowly served supper.

At least they are all in one place if the CHP needs to deal with them.

I guess there is no reason to start a new post..........it's all about the Gas Up.

On the home page of Landracing.com is a summary of the happenings at this years event.

It's possible to buy a ticket at the event. The weather forecast looks excellent for Saturday.

Grab a bottle of water, fire up the roadster and come on up. The BBQ provides excellent

tri-tip roasts and the beer is cold. Even if you don't know anyone when you arrive, I

assure you.....you will know someone new when you leave.

If you see me wandering around with the camera, pull my chain, talk loud so I can hear you

and add to my weekend.
