EDELBROCK EXHIBIT AT MOTORSPORTS MUSEUM

If you're planning to be in Pomona, CA for the NHRA World Finals or the 2005 Winternationals, ankle on over to the Wally Parks Museum to see the "Edelbrock: A Performance Legacy" exhibit, running through Feb. 14, 2005. Several famous cars will be on exhibit, including the #27 Kurtis Kraft midget; the original 1932 Ford roadster that Vic Edelbrock Sr. raced on the dry lake beds in Southern California; and a one-off SS 350 1967 Camaro experimental drag car engineered by GM's Herb Fishel.

"Vic has a lot of rare cars in his collection, so we plan on rotating some of them during the exhibit," said Greg Sharp, curator of the Parks Museum. "And there are other privately owned historic cars out there that tell the Edelbrock story as well, so some of them may be included too. This will keep the exhibit fresh with new things to see."

TESTING 1-2-3

With plenty of drag racing action in the L.A. area this weekend -- Chevy vs. Ford at LACR, Pacific Street Car Association Fall Nationals at California Dragway, a muffler-only event at Irwindale Dragstrip and NHRA's Sport Compact at the Pomona Fairplex strip -- some sport compact teams were hunting for a last-minute place to test new tune-ups for their Finals.

After DRO made a couple of phone calls to Fontana's manager Dave Danish and PSCA's Mel Roth, everybody agreed to welcome the sport compact teams into the PSCA Friday Test-n-Tune at California Dragway. Gates open Friday morning at 10:00 with a $20 per car entry fee.

A tip of the Agent's fedora for the great cooperation that continues to be shown among the SoCal dragstrips' management.  (Zak Hawthorne photo) [10-21-2004]
