On Sunday, October 19, 2008 the Burbank Road Kings car club hosted their annual charity car show at the Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California. This is an event like no other as it combines the splendor of the location and horse racing with the car show. What could be better than great weather, spectacular views of the mountains and palm trees, and of course cars, cars and more cars! This year the weather was spectacular and although the turnout was slightly less than in years past the infield was still awash with classic cars, hotrods, and trucks, approximately 350 in all. Arriving early afforded us the opportunity to watch the ponies get their workout while we had breakfast, and the horse racing started right after lunch. 

The car show officially opened to the public at 9 a.m. and concluded at 3 p.m. with the presentation of trophies. Yours’ truly won a trophy as did one of my friends. It’s a great venue for this event, the Road Kings run it with an expertise that only years of experience can develop, and we look forward to attending again next year.  Here’s the pictures…..enjoy!
