Irwindale ~ 2011 Mooneyes Xmas Party Car Show

A couple of weeks ago was the annual Mooneyes Xmas Party at the Irwindale Raceway. Let me sum it up this way; if you were not there, you missed a good one! The show is good every year (even in the rain) but for some reason this year was extra good, even great! The vibe was excellent, the cars looked really good and the people were all having a great time.  I heard it was at capacity by 10am and people were waiting 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get in. Thankfully Stephanie & I were there by 8am. We have to once again thank Chico and the Mooneyes team for the passes and the parking pass. It is very much appreciated.

We saw a whole lot of our friends at the show including Paul & Julie who were looking stylish as always.

Audie & Liz spent the day at the show with "She Devil", his 65 Riviera that flys the Lifestyle CC plaque.

My Pachuco CC brother from the 415 Tony I and his lady Frisco Dollie. Hella (inside joke!) good seeing you two!

We met up with the Machado family after the show for dinner and they showed up in Julie's 64 Impala drop top.

Unmatched Hustle: Immigrant from Michoacán’s Tierra Caliente Creates Innovative Tortillería on Wheels…In Bakersfield

Many come and buy pounds and pounds to share with their family members as soon as they taste a warm “taco de sal,” a tortilla sprinkled simply with salt and rolled up like a thin flauta. It’s common to eat tacos de sal while waiting in line at a tortillería in Mexico, but not so much in the U.S.
