Pit passes are a great way to accentuate the dragsters dashboard

I photographed all these interesting parts of the car at the Beatnik Blowout, but didn't think to get an overall exterior shot so you can see what the car is.

Many car club plaques at the LA Roadster Show

The above looks better painted in colors, so I kept the below for comparison

Must be a reason the numbers are different. The club members get them sequentially?

The above club needs to know where to get real plaques made... so do I, so if you know, drop me a note in the comments or email direct at jbohjkl@yahoo.com if you know a guy or company making them





















I like the black, red and silver one best... great colors that resemble a tach




for the best one I have seen, it's just amazing: http://choosingscars.blogspot.com/2009/06/torquers-of-ocean-beach-hot-rod-club.html

The most interesting signs, awards, and petroliana I found at the Mendenhall Museum in Buellton

The above is the art work of Pete Millar, and is actually an ad for Isky Cams























I've never heard of the Pontiac Trail




I wish I knew the story of how this cop car door left the cop car, and became a wall ornament for it's life after law enforcement

Cool mileage map








Biggest Sun test bench I've seen













a Mickey Thompson timing tag, wow
Amazing, how did any paper souvenirs last?
Awesome that Vice Grip was giving out trophys, and this is the first I've seen
The above roadster was hand carved



all of these are only a small fraction of the cool stuff at the Mendenhall Museum of Petroliana in Buellton Ca, just about 30 minutes North of Santa Barbara http://www.mendenhallmuseum.com
