Las Vegas & So Cal cruise nights??

[DarrenX33]

Starting next week I will be in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego. Wondering if anyone here from these areas can recommend a local cruise night. Always nice to see a new assortment of cars.

Darren,
I can't tell you anything about cruise nights in Lost Wages (Las Vegas) or San Deigo. In the LA area most stuff takes place on the weekends, with a few during the week. It just depends on when you're around. Take a look at this web site. It sums up a lot of what goes on. socalcarculture (http://www.socalcarculture.com/index.htm)
Friday nights there is a cool cruise night at Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake. It's near NBC Studios which is in Burbank. Some really nice cars and motorcycles show up. Maybe we can hook up if schedules mesh right.

Great website Mark. I will be in LA on Wed Aug 11th and San Diego Aug 12, 13 and 14th. Now to sort thru all the locations... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Darren, you have to go to the Original Tommy's Drive-In (right down the street from the Police Station they used for filming Adam-12) for a double chili cheeseburger http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Killer stuff (literally...if you ate enough of 'em). When I used to go to LA I would freeze them and bring them home on the plane.

Great advice Bill. I actually have a list of restaurants that I want to visit while there. Tommy's is now on the list. Thanks. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gee Darren, you're going to be here only 1 day. There's too much to see. Unfortunately Wednesdays are usually kinda dead for cruise nights. This Sunday there's a swap meet in Long Beach. Also take a look at the "Links" page on that web site and look at the museum list. The Petersen Museum is nice. Maybe that would be something good for you to check out. What area are you going to be staying in?

[mssl72]

Bill, Do you remember the location of that Tommy's?

[DarrenX33]

Think it is going to be 2 days now. A friend of mine recommended the NHRA hall of fame.

[mssl72]

That's another good one. It's out near Pomona drag strip.

Mark, it's the original one at Beverly & Rampart.

Ah, ok. That's the Los Angeles location. I haven't been to that one. Maybe I'll take a ride over one day and check it out. The Van Nuys location is only a few miles from me.

[Bill Pritchard]

It's been 10 years since I've been there, so I have no idea how the neighborhood is now. It was OK 10 years ago http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

It might be a little rougher now. I'll drive the Honda if I go in. There's actually a closer Tommy's that I found near me. I'll check that one out first.
