The Mooneyes X-mas Party opened their gates at 6am to hundreds of waiting participants. By 7:30am the participants gate was closed! Over 1200 cars had filled the show area. The spectator gate remained open till over 5,000 cars filled the Speedway at Irwindale, they even filled the oval track. This year the weather was cold and very foggy which started to burn off about 11am. The start of Drag Racing was delayed and hour to dry the track.
What a show!! 4 live bands performed all day, they were Gamblers Mark, Dead Beat Daddies, Hot Rod Trio, and the Dynotones. Then there was, great drag racing including a Cacklefest, an art auction, pin up contest, over 100 vendors, unique bikes, trucks, and cars to check out!! Shige Suganuma and Chico of Mooneyes did a great job organizing this event. Imagination, creativity, ingenuity, attitude, and style were all there for your enjoyment. Cool choppers, crazy hair, pin up girls, great entertainment, and lots of Ink. The “Pin Up Girl” contest was great, it gave the show an extra boost of eye candy parading everywhere. Drag racing helped make the show feel nostalgic with rods and customs lining up together, ready to run. As usual, this was an unforgetable event.
Thanks for the Show!
