For the Hall of Fame members, in alphbetical order in case you are wondering about a particular dry lakes racer: http://www.oilstick.com/halloffamemembers/index.htm

Dry lakes racing brilliant innovative idea, measuring the front end lift during the run

I don't remember who was just mentioned doing this at the Dry lakes Racing Hall of Fame inductions, (the memory just is falling apart faster than ever) but the streamliner was fitted with an old fashioned gas tank level system, and its indicator on the dash showed the driver if the front was lifting while running the Bonneville course

Tere has posted a great look around at the Mendenhall's Museum: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/05/mendenhalls-gas-up-bbq.html where the hall or fame takes place, it's a museum of petroliana

Camry Collector Edition, what the hell? What Toyota sales dept exec thinks people collect Camrys?

This pulled up next to me at a stoplight, and it's the first time I'd ever heard of a collector edition car. That is one presumptuous car company!

Cars are collectable in a subjective way, IMHO, based on factors not up to the car maker, unless it's smart enough to produce incredible Italian sports cars.

The LE based Camry collectors edition was new for 2001 according to Wikicars.org

The gourmet food trucks were gathered to add to the "Dining Out for Life® San Diego"

Two for the Road is a mobile food truck specializing in American comfort food.

Owners Lisa and Roberto are taking their favorite dishes from around the country and bringing them to the streets of San Diego. Coming from a food and travel background
they figured this would be the perfect mix for a traveling restaurant.

ROBERTO attended culinary school in Italy before making his way to the US. He has worked as Chef at several top hotels in Las Vegas and at restaurants here in San Diego.

LISA is a foodie whose background in the travel industry allowed her to travel the world and explore some of the best street food out there. Together they are hitting the road to bring the best of the US to San Diego.

Chef Deb recently took delivery of a beautiful little food truck. The little one is about 25 ft long and weighs in just under 4500 lbs. We’ve named her Ms. Patty Melt, because she bears a striking resemblance to the sandwich of that same name.

Ms. Patty has already given us a hint of her culinary heritage, and her potential to wow us with some amazing street food.

Keep an eye out for Ms. Patty Melt and Wilbur on the streets of San Diego. All grown up now, she wants to serve up some of the best mobile burgers and dogs in SD and remember, she’s just getting her wheels under her, so give her plenty of room! http://www.cohnrestaurants.com/
