Hi everybody,
I live in Placerville California, just 3 miles from where John Marshall found the first gold nugget that caused the gold rush of 1849. Just between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. Gods Country!
Used to live in So Cal. Cruised Whittier boulevard in the 70s before they started closing off all of the streets and ticketing you for farting.
raced at OCIR on Wednesday nights. Too many people now.
Deep Park (Houston-area) TX here. 64B on jack stands in my garage. Appreciate this forum. Looking forward to getting mine back together and running (only 18 years in "restoration")!
Now Birmingham, AL.....born and raised in Pardeevile, WI.........30 years in the Navy all south of the Mason-Dixon line......just too much winter and too high taxes on everything to move back up. Do visit twice a year, try to catch both days of summer and Christmas with the family.
You have two days of summer up there? Wow. I think we have something like 360 days of summer and 5 days of winter here. I do know there are two temps, hot and hotter.
