Our editorial director, David S. Wallens, is on his way out to California tomorrow. While he's there he'll be attending the Japanese Classic Car Show on Saturday, September 23, in Long Beach. If you're at the show, keep an eye out for a Grassroots Motorsports hat and give him a hello. Can't make it…
Yep, I'll be there all day Saturday. Stop me and say hi. I have wanted to go to this show for years, and the stars finally lined up.
More like keep an eye out for the gloriously huge sideburns, am I right?
In reply to Patrick :
You know, I seriously almost typed that.
Yes, I'll be wearing my sideburns. I fly out super-early tomorrow, and I'll see everyone on Saturday.
That was fun, and I got back home late last night. Look for photos soon.
I was there... Cool show... I think I spotted some dude with GRM hat and sideburns talking with a couple of guys on my way out...

If it was a super-sweet GRM trucker hat, then that could have been me. Next time, grab me and say hi.
Where's the pics!!!!
I went twice. Incredible. John Morton, Peter Brock, Mazda designers, Les Canaday, Hot Wheels designers, and Datsun's Mr. K's secretary Johnnie.
Both years I showed up at sunrise and watched the cars line up and enter the grounds. Incredible.

On my hard drive! I know, lame answer. I got in late last night, slept 12 hours, and spent all day today helping push the next issue of Classic Motorsports out the door. (And now I have to go buy a new kitchen faucet as we had a small flood while I was gone.)
Look for photos in the next 24 hours. You can find a few teasers here, though: https://www.instagram.com/davidswallens/
I watched this video from 2007 over and over and convinced myself I needed to GO to the JCCS Show.
Watching all those cars drive to Long Beach with the container unloading ports in the background is so cool. So I went.
Got my new kitchen faucet. Do faucets normally fail? Either way, yeah, we have a mess to clean up.
Tonight's project, though, involves something else I need to write up. Spoiler alert: I just drove a Honda S660. Look for something on the site very, very soon.
Photos have been pulled, and words have been written. You'll see it on the site very soon.
