I went to one of the real early Hot Rod Reunions, 1,2, or 3. Just for grins I had a bunch of the brass timing tags that the SCTA used to do at El Mirage Dry Lake on a chain around my neck, from my Dad's El Mirage days.
These guys had a booth there in the pits and Joaquin Arnett their long time president was sitting there visiting with the passers by. I knew of him and the Bean Bandits from my old man. "Hey you! Get over here!" I hear, and Joaquin was pointing at me. :eek: I wandered over closer "Let me see those." and he started looking at the tags. "They were my Dad's hot rod." I said. "Yeah? What club was he with?". " L A Roadsters,". "Oh yeah. I remember those guys. They were baaad futher muckers." :lol: So we visited for a while :D.
