My old work mate and mentor had a SC Dragster and I used to go to Famoso and help. We always had National Dragster mags layin' around the batch shack. One of the early West Coast Hot Rod Reunions had a big ad in there one year for the show and had "Premium" tickets available that included a Santa Maria Style BBQ lunch. "Let's give it a try." we figgured. Sittin' in the bleachers the smoke from the BBQ was very tempting. The crew that was doing it was well prepared. Two double axle mounted trailer pits in stainless steel

a reefer trailer for storage, big tent set up with tables and chairs. We get in line. When we get to the pit I had to ask "So where did you guys learn to BBQ?". "Fresno" was the bbq technician's response. Jack and I just looked at each other "We're f@#ked" we thought

. We were right! Just meat with some grill marks

"We don need no steenkin' bbq rub!"
