Bixby Knolls Dragster Expo and Car Show - Long Beach, CA - July 9, 2011
I've never been but it sounds like a great time. I'll be there this year.
Check it out.....http://www.bixbyknollscarshow.com Description The Bixby Knolls Dragster Expo and Car Show is an event produced by the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association (BIA) in conjunction with the office of City of Long Beach 8th District Councilwoman Rae Gabelich. The cackle of the 3000-horsepower racing machines reverberates through the ears, the flames leap out of the engines in the dusk of the summer evening, the smell of nitro fuel permeates the air, and the mind recalls the legends of the famed Lions Drag Strip, as a dozen vintage Top Fuel dragsters simultaneously fire up their engines in the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Carson Street in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach. Located less than four miles from the site of the legendary Lions Drag Strip, the Bixby Knolls Dragster Expo and Car Show combines a static car show featuring hundreds of classic and specialty cars in multiple award categories with a celebration of racing, paying special tribute to Long Beach’s place in racing history. In addition to featuring many of the famous cars and drivers from the Lions Drag Strip, which operated on the outskirts of Long Beach from 1955 until 1972, the Bixby Knolls Dragster Expo and Car Show also showcases award-winning racing boats and race cars featured in the Long Beach Grand Prix, which is a founding sponsor of the car show. (read less) General Information The Car Show is open to vintage and classic cars, hot rods, street rods (pre-1975) and all years Corvettes and Mustangs. Event to be held on Atlantic Avenue from San Antonio Dr. to Roosevelt Rd. Last edited by 06-0259SC; 03-22-2011 at 03:23 PM. |

It's kinda cool. I've been going for the past few years. The cacklefest is AWESOME! Councilwoman Rae Gabelich was married to "Rocketman" Gary Gabelich who set a bunch of land speed records.
I live a few miles from there. Hope to see you there! |
