If you are in the area, stop by the PAG Campus in Irvine any Saturday morning from 7:00am to 9:00am. There is lots of parking! No speed bumps, 400 spaces for exhibit, a reserved area for motorcycles plus ample spectator parking. Then stop by here and share your stories, photos, experiences, and most importantly – your ride.

7905 Gateway Blvd

We have lots of hot rod gatherings at Original Mel's in Roseville. It's on Douglas Blvd right at I 80. It's quite a popular place.

We also have Sacramento Raceway. Not really a car guy hangout unless you want to get your drag on. It's my favorite hangout.
