Was that at donut derelics Chris
Yes, I dont like to use that name since this ass-hat, who used to be a customer of a shop I used to work at, decided to license the name and pimp it out to the max. I have been going there for a lot of years, pretty cool group. Usually there is a hundred cars there and sometimes up to 300. What blows me away is no matter how long I have been attending I usually see somthing new and exciting every time! Socal has so many cars hidden away. Quick story, there is a guy that goes to the donut shop on a pretty regular basis. His name is Gary Perkins, a real nice man and loves his Mopars. His cars qualify as jewelry, they are so nice. He has a Hemi Dart clone built by the AFX guy in Arizona. One day he is parked and there is the usual crowd around his car, when we hear a wicked cackling rumble from something with open headers. In pulls a REAL Hemi 4 speed Dart painted up in a ridiculous 70s paint job and tubbed with 14x32 inch slicks in the rear. The guys takes the spot next to Gary and shuts it off and stuffs a picture of it pulling a major wheelie, up on the bumper, at the track. It has the normal bumps and bruises of a car of its vintage. I ask the guy where in the hell did he find this thing. He tells me in his garage and it hasnt seen the light of day since the early 80s! The fastest it had ran was 9.88 at 144. He happened upon the donut shop a few weeks earlier and saw Gary's car and was inspired. So he went home and got his car running so he could come down and share. This car has been with the 5 mile radius of my home for the last 20 years! Thats an example of the crap that goes on around here. If you ever visit again its worth getting up for.
