OFF ROAD EXPO

Ditto. Not sure if I can make it this year, although more Baja trips are in the cards for this coming year. Tires need replacement badly, though. I'll most likely go to America's Tire for the better prices.

Performance-wise, they don't have enough bite to go past the pavement.

Saturday EXPO

Report.

Perfect weather.

I liked $10 ticket prices better than the $14 it now costs.

$10 parking.

Show was quite good. Lots of vendors- lots of people. Ran into some old friends.

Saw IVAN and WALKER walking around. The "tattoo" generation just walked by with no clue who they were. The "over 50" group all waved, handshakes, nodded to say hello. There must be a country song to explain this.

Spent about 4 hours looking , walking. Got my moneys worth.

Show felt more like an off-road show than last time. Last show had too many 12" lifted trucks with bling wheels ready for the Irvine Spectrum parking lot. Back to basics this time.

Enjoyed seeing some of the old restored race vehicles and the "buggy in a box" . It was a rock crawler tube frame all cut and notched with detailed directions for assembly. This came in a cardboard box ready for welding. Neat project for someone.

Would I go again knowing how it was? A big YES.
