Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Our friends Chris and Suzy are at it again!Fowler & Moore At Home

After the immense success of Fowler & Moore’s last in-store event where Chris and Suzy suggested Christmas decoration tips, they’re at it again with a limited space, invitation only event on Tuesday, April 12th.

Although we’re not allowed to disclose details, we can tell you that if you’re in Redondo Beach and you want some ideas for sprucing up your home and bringing it up to date, it’s probably a good idea to figure out how to be there!

To get an invite, go to Fowler & Moore at Home on Catalina in Riviera Village and tell them you’re interested.  Of course, you can also go to www.FowlerAndMoore.com and at the “Store” page, you can sign up to get their e-mails and if you do it before Friday, you’ll be sure to get their next (and last) e-mail invitation.

We’ll be there!  You should, too!

The Winternationals at Pomona

The Winternationals are happening at Pomona this weekend

As drag racing in the United States gets kicked off this weekend in it’s spiritual home of Pomona, California, thousands will come to see 10,000 horsepower Top Fuel Dragsters duel to over 300 miles per hour over an 1/8th mile straight.  It is an ear-smashing, spine-rollicking phenomena, among the most spectacular in the world of motorsports and indeed of industrial capacity.

But a few of those spectators might forget to take the journey around the corner to the museum, which will be open for business and displaying the roots of that spectacle – where it all started and the journey that brought the sport where it is.  Inside the museum, there are Funny Cars (1000 bhp+ monsters that look a little bit more like the cars we drive every day than the rocketship-esque Top Fuel Dragsters), land speed record breakers, hot rods, and amazing pieces of technical and artistic marvel from throughout Pomona’s, California’s, and the World’s collective search for speed and power.

For serious gearheads, a trip to the museum could take an hour or more – but for the more casual spectator, you can rush through and get a flavor in 15 – 30 minutes.  The museum gift shop has truly unique apparel and models that are difficult to find anywhere else – and make for the best souvenirs of the weekend.

So while you’re in awe of the cars racing down the dragstrip this year and you decide your ears and body just need a break, take respite in the phenomenal Wally Parks Motorsports Museum – any stop every good gearhead needs to make.
