Catalina Grand Prix 1951 - 1958
Nice article and pics covering the Grand Prix race that was held on Catalina Island in the 1950's. As expected, the race was dominated by the Brits...

And we were on the same ferry with Homer after the race, neat old guy. I had him do some motor work for me in the past.

The last I heard, the City of Avalon wanted to promote it, couldn't get their shit together.
Hopefully December of '13. |
