I remember well those trips from Pico Rivera out to Bonneville.
The stops for coffee & lunch. But I do have to say that, Damn Jack you're a terrible driver on the freeway! You're right Monty about covering the road from curb-to-curb and he was talking & laughing all the time.
And the coffee shop on Rosemead. Every morning about 930 or 10 at the garage it was people piling into one car or another on the way to the coffee shop usually with Ak in the lead and at the turn onto Rosemead and down to at least to the RR overpass it was foot to the floor.
Of course Ak never let it be a 'fair' race!
