The roads of Southern California are filled with vintage cars of all types, from lowriders and hot rods, to restored muscle cars. A question that might come to mind is just where people find the parts to build these things. Well, a good number of them come from the car-specific swap meets, like the ones held at the Long Beach Veterans Stadium each month
I was glad to see that my coverage of the Mopar Spring Fling in Van Nuys went over pretty well, so here's a final batch of shots from Woodley Park last Sunday. Up above we have a pristine example of Plymouth's upmarket version of the Road Runner, the GTX. Hotchkis Suspension had a large booth at the show with a few of their project vehicles
Now to continue Grand Prix of Long Beach coverage with some race action from the American LeMans series. The last time I'd shot ALMS was at Laguna Seca last year, so I'd had an itch for some sports car action for a while. What better place to take in some American Le Mans than on the streets of Long Beach? Here the #90 M3 takes turn one during
Nearly all major drift events are accompanied by a car show of some sort. Usually these gatherings are mere sideshows to the action on the track, full of "tricked out" relics of the tuner scene, but Fatlace is out to change that. Based on the first of the Fatlace 1 of 1 Car Shows, Mark and company seem to have succeeded. I was only able to
Now to continue our coverage of the on-track action at Formula D Long Beach, starting with the Top 16 and moving all the way to the finale. With a mix of both veterans and newcomers making the cut, the Top 16 was sure to bring some surprises. The first two matches of the Top 16 were actually rather un-dramatic. The first match was between Rhys Millen
Yesterday we looked at some action from qualifying and practice, and now it's time for the Top 32 tandem competition from Formula Drift Long Beach. As usual, the Top 32 brought more than its fair share of white knuckle battles, and a few upsets as well. The first tandem match of 2010 was between #1 qualifier Rhys Millen, and #32 qualifier Jodin
One of things I've really grown to appreciate about the traditional hot rod and custom scene is the details - the design of the period carburetor setups, the intricate paintwork, and most of all the car club plaques. As I walked around the Viva Las Vegas show a couple weeks ago, I thought it'd be cool to gather some of these "detail shots"
By now you guys have all heard about what went down during the tandem rounds at Long Beach, with many watching the happenings live on the new online feed. As we kick off our photographic coverage of the event, I thought I'd start with a selection of photos from Friday's practice and qualifying sections. Friday allowed to move around the track
For my next bit of coverage from the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, I'll be focusing on the car show - held all day Saturday in the parking lot of The Orleans hotel. Besides the hundreds of traditional hot rods and customs that had gathered, there were was plenty of cool stuff to buy, lots of beer consumed, and the occaisonal pinup girl making
Last Friday night, after losing my fair share of cash in the casinos I headed over to the The Orleans Hotel to see if anything was going on at ground zero for Viva Las Vegas. The main show wouldn't be going on until Saturday, but I figured I might be able to catch some cars cruising around under the lights. And while there were a few vintage machines
