SO-CAL SPeed Shop Event Tour 2011

[CircusWagonJim]

Like most of us, the last few years have been pretty rough. I myself had to close my SO-CAL Speed Shop in early 2010 because it was just too tough to keep a small business running in this climate- and then on top of that my wife decided it was time for a divorce after 21 years at the exact same time. Ended up sitting out the remainder of the year without even the smallest jobs hiring.
Fortunately the winds of change have blown my way and the main SO-CAL guys have asked me to take the show back out on the road for them and I'm leaving this Saturday to start a tour of the indoor Autorama shows in the mid-west and hopefully keep planning events to attend for the remainder of the year while I'm out there.

The first six events I'm attending are-
Feb. 11-13 Kansas City
Feb. 18-20 Dallas
Feb. 27-29 Detroit
Mar. 4-7 Chicago
Mar. 11-13 Des Moines
Mar. 18-20 Omaha

The real reason I wanted to post this is so that while I'm traveling I could perhaps visit a few people and check out local collections and junkyards and post the adventures here on the board as an ongoing blog of where the road takes me since it just me alone in a van with a couple days inbetween each city to see the sights.
Please let me know if you think there's something cool in your area we should check out and share on the board. Thanks very much! Jim
