Santa Maria Show Photos

My buddy Frederic and I have been going to the West Coast Customs show for 12 years or so now I think he has been going for 15 or more. I was not going to go this year, as I had a lot of plans for this weekend, but when Frederic called up and said when are we leaving, I made the call to drive down for the day check out the cars hang out with some friends and watch the Cruise in the night. Frederic has a bitchen 1951 buick that we have driven many times to Paso/Santa Maria, and instead of driving 2 cars we decided best to hang out and talk smack than driving alone. So we got the Car out of the garage and rallied to Santa Maria, about a 4 hour drive from home. The car is awesome and drives really well. Got to Santa Maria and started feasting my eyes on what I call Car Porn. Anyway sweet ass rides everywhere ya looked. Something for everyone whatever you might be into. Here is a couple hundred pics I snapped and a video, I didnt really go through and sort them so its just raw footage of the West Coast Santa Maria Car show. Enjoy!

NCRRAShakedown Run 2012

Spent the day with awesome people driving up the mountains through the redwoods and up on the Skyline overlooking the Pacific Ocean, then down through The green grassy hills and to the Sea with a very sunny and warm ride down the coast and back home. My buddy Clay drove my 28 Flathead powered Roadster and I drove my 36 ford on its first long trip, It was successful, the only casualties were my driver door wont open and my Mercury Temp guage stopped reporting. Both easy Fixes, 100 miles and it drove great, super stoked. here are a few pics I snapped of the run.

John McClure Submitted these videos he made back in 1955 and 1956.

He Wrote:

I thought some of your sport car fans would like to see some of these old cars racing way back in the 550′s. As the owner of the very first Austin Healey in the USA, and a memer of the San Diego Jr. Chamber, we developed/built the Torrey Pnes Race Track…and I had acces to shoot 8mm film. Sort of historic stuff…..enjoy icon smile Torrey Pines Road Races   1955 and 1956

I fully Agree, just look at these amazing cars thrashing around the track !

Gullwings, C type , d type, XK’s, A bunch of specials, Porsches, Healays, Allard, Bristol, MG.

WOW

I love that arnolt Bristol very excellent. I wish I could have been there, but I get to pretend when I race my 57 Alfa and 63 356 in vintage events. Tell us about your Vintage race Experiences, we would love to hear about them.
