Just before the World Finals? Really?

I have timing tags and trophies from El Mirage that my father earned in his flathead roadster. I went to Hot Rod Reunion II with the timing tags around my neck on a string. A gentleman seated at the "Bean Bandits" Car Club display said "Hey, let me see those things. What club was your old man in? LA Roadsters, I remember those guys, tough Muthaf@#$ers they were". Nice guy, I think I raced dune buggies in the desert against his son. Small world. :D
