Antique Nationals 45th Meeting on June 28th FONTANA

At the end of June I am going to be riding with the 59 Club up to Fontana to watch all the great Vintage Hot rods and motorcycles take a run up on the Quarter mile and this show is one of the best of the year, especially for a spectator as you get close to everything. But here you can even enter your machine if it fits into their requirements.

This show has been going for years and i have not missed one, it is fun packed and always something new to see, a great time to also meet up with friends and chin wag about whats been going on etc.

I know you will like watching Hot Rods line up and race, as well as gassers and some Vintage Model A’s with 4 Bangers, it sure is a treat.

They may be slow by todays standards but great to watch and more hopped up than stock.

 

 

The sound of the Flatheads, the smell of Race gas and the Camaraderie is second to none in this type of event.

You never know what will be there ad for us to turn up in numbers will be a fun day for sure as there is plenty of places to park etc and is sure to be a brilliant day to watch the racing and to talk to like minded people.

 

 

It is not to be missed just for the Nostalgia alone and I am looking forward to walking around the pitts and checking everything out there.

Watching crazy built Altereds is amazing to see and hear as their Motors scream the 1/4 and smell the Nitro as they perge at the line.

Marky from the Shifter ran his Purple people Eater and that was super to watch it launch off the line.

I have known Marky 15 years and watched him create this when i was with them and at Anthony Castaneda’s shop back in the day and so great to watch this Altered Roar down the tarmac, spitting fume and fury all over the place, a fantastic show just for this ride alone.

He flew off the line a couple of years ago and had everyone a gasp, but last year he had a solid run and it sounded like Thunder.

Even watching fun old Whizzer style Push Bikes try for a 28 second pass is hilarious and I am sure you will agree?

 

 

So if you like to watch Vintage racing at its very best, head on out to Fontana for the Antique nationals on the 28Th of June or ride out with us from Anaheim, you will thank us later after you have seen all that goes on there.

You never know what you may see there, its different every event.

 

So – Don’t miss the 45th running of the Antique Nationals – the original nostalgia drag race.

It will be time to take to the mountains this Saturday (23rd) as the 59 Club O.C. Section spend the day checking out this scenic and curvy Mountain area that Motorcycles were ideally suited for.

If you want to come out for a ride, then meet us up at Alea’s Cafe on Saturday Morning, we leave at 10am and Bare will be leading as he knows them roads quite well.

 

This will be a fun ride and with great people, I have never been on this route and am looking forward to it immensely.

So sling your leg over your steed and come and spend a few hours with us as we enjoy the So-Cal countryside.

We would love to see you for the ride as this will be a great day for it and your Motorcycle.

 

Bare suggested this Route:

 

The best route for Baldy ride; 57-210W-Off at Azusa turn left at exit street, right on Azusa. Handy Mobil station a block up on the left (one way street), Continue on Azusa to San Gabriel Canyon and continue to the Chrystal Lake turn off, about 22 miles. There is a little food place at Chrystal Lake mostly outside seating, not that I would recommend it. Save your appetite for Mt Baldy. We will then go back down San Gabriel (11 mi) to East Fork road and turn left. Take East Fork to Glendora Ridge road, this is a real switch back, about 4 mi, then continue down to a stop sign (5mi) and turn left. Go about 12 miles to Mt Baldy road stop sign and turn left. Go about 400 yds to a restaurant on the left. All distances are approximate! after lunch those who live east of Mountain Road in Claremont can go down Mt baldy road to the 210. Those who live west and go back across Glendora Ridge to Glendora Mountain which will take you down into Glendora. My choice. Get in all the twisties I can!

I love this Club and have a passion for all Nostalgic Motorcycles, be it old or new but have that certain style to it from the days of the café Racers of Britain in the late 1950’s.

59 Club meet at heroes last night was great

Last night was our monthly meet up, this time Jennifer my Girlfriend organized a great eatery and bar called Heroes which is located in Fullerton, just up the road from the shop.

It was a great Turn out and we all enjoyed the great atmosphere, the Beer and the food that they supply at this superb establishment and we were looked after very well indeed.

 

 

Above is Cory’s Bonnie that he purchased from Southern California Triumph, I did the seat and rear fender ad its a fun Hot Rod styling.

Above you can see My Thruxton and Mark Bakers Racing green machine as we all park at the same stable.

A warm night and still light too, so next meet will be great as we can start to try other venues and enjoy the So Cal Weather.

A Range of Trumpys and one Duck rest their legs as we rest ours in the Bar.

 

We really had a great time at Heroes and next meet up probably stay n Fullerton as there are some great eateries here.

 

Not the best of photos but- my I phone sucks, but it was like Christmas in the place. Every one liked the place.

 

Thanks to all that attended, loved every minute, looking forward to the next one.
