It looks like I'm finally gonna get to go to California and meet some long time internet Car Buddies.

So far I have met and shook hands with 3 members of another Car Forum and tomorrow (18th) I'm flying outa Houston to Bakersfield to hook up with a friend from Oregon (Bad Rat) who is also a member here. He has really helped me a lot during the last several years. Another couple of internet buds will be there also so I'm really looking forward to the trip and experience.

I'll be staying in Bakersfield but the Hot Rod Reunion and Cacklefest is at the Famoso Raceway.

While I'm out there, if I have time, I hope to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time, all the Hot Rods and Drag Races (eliminations), some Nostalgic slingshots and other famous dragsters at the Cacklefest Saturday night and, if I'm lucky, I might even take in the Buck Owens Museum. LOL

Here are some links to last years festivities and this year should be just as Awesome.
