Southern California Historic Sports Car Festival

1 min read
We headed out and spent the weekend at the Southern California Historic Sports Car Festival… the word “festival” is a bit of a stretch since no one outside of the clubs that raced and hardcore car nerds that get email updates from the local race tracks (i.e. me) knew it was going on. This event has been going on for around 12 years and should be a major draw, so be sure to mark your calendar for next year. 
Enjoy the photos!
