Thanks go to Rick Love, VP of Vintage Air for the fantastic air conditioning class held Wednesday, May 16 at SO-CAL-AZ. We had about 70 car enthusiasts attended the AC Seminar, despite the Suns vs. Spurs play off game. I guess that was fitting since Vintage Air is based out of San Antonio. The 2 hour seminar covered everything from basic principles to systems specific to the student’s vehicles. I think we all came away with a greater understanding and application of AC. Heaven knows we need it out here in the Dry Heat of Arizona. The SO-CAL-AZ staff is committed to providing knowledgeable, friendly service to our customers, making sure they get the right parts for their projects. Next time you need parts, give us a call at 1-800-732-0076, and one of our reliable countermen will help you with your project. evaporators and many tips to keep your car or truck cool all summer!

The 2007 Hot Rod Reunion You could call them the "Elite Eight," you could call them the "Living Legends," but whatever you call them, you'll not be calling them late to the starting line as eight of the best-known, premier Nostalgia Funny Cars run during the fifth annual Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, presented by SoffSeal, June 15-17 at National Trail Raceway, Hebron, Ohio. Darr Hawthorne, west coast editor of Drag Racing Online, said, "The nostalgia funny car movement has been embraced from coast to coast. Nothing shows that more than that we've got eight or ten cars for this event and half are from the east coast, half from the west coast. This should be quite a race."

book review  when hot rods ran

How often do you hear someone say, “this is a must buy book.” Well, this is one of those must have books for your hot rod library.Why is this book so important? Because it is the first book of its kind, before any other was even thought about. It was written and published in 1991, but the photos and ideas came from the very first SCTA (Southern California Timing Association) land speed time trials. That event occurred on May 15, 1938 and William Carroll was there to record it. Strangely enough, Carroll was attracted to the event by all  the excitement buzzing in the young hot rodding movement. He went to Muroc, to see what this race was all about. He never went back and his career progressed in other directions. There are many other books that have more text and photos and are indexed. But Carroll’s book is superior to them all because he was the first.  Check it out NOW 

book review smoke

Mel Anthony has written a fine little book called Smoke, Sand and Rubber. It is 7 x 10 inches in size and about an inch thick in a paperback format. There are 288 pages with 40 chapters, each about seven pages long, containing 250 black and white photos. Smoke, Sand and Rubber also has one color photo, three drawings and 21 posters, graphs and charts. The cover has an appealing black and white drawing of midgets racing on a track, but no dust cover. Anthony numbers and signs the books and there are 1000 copies in the first printing. Take a Look

There are lots of really cool books coming out right now and we are doing our best to get all of the details on these books to you.... we have two book reviewers to tell you all about them. Check the book review section often ... We know you’ll enjoy these...
