Default Staging up for the grand opening parade
Met up at the Fairplex in Pomona for opening day of the Los Angeles County Fair. Featured in this year's parade will be vintage Corvettes. Lotsa fun.








Anyone know the history of this trailer?

In the early '50's NHRA used it to haul all the necessary equipment to locations for holding races. See the entire story on the NHRA web site under Safety Safari. Dennis

I had a few fires in my funny car back in the day. I was glad the safety safari was there.

On the route. Took about 25 minutes to drive through the fairgrounds.
