hosestop@msn.com Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hey Eddie you going to show up for a one hour meet ,then slow cruise on windie streets of Whittier ,AMA speedway is optional . Quote Link to comment
smoke'sDat's Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Whittier is not a.street it's actually a Blvd. Cruising on Whittier Blvd in East Los Angeles not in the City of Whittier, just to clarify. it started in the late 70's and lasted for a.few years. Also at about this time we used to breakdance. There was battles at every corner. Then a few years later cruising started back again on Whittier Blvd but in the city of Pico Rivera. It didn't even last a full summer cause the sheriff s where on us and thats when cruising on Whittier Blvd had become a crime and were giving out tickets. That's a little bit of East Los history. 1 Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted August 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 You are not on the same side of the freeway ! American Grafiti was at Bobs Big Boy ,And cars were trailered in in 60s Taylor and Hill race Engines and Stick City hotrod dealer, then 70s it was van and mini trucks VWs and race cars . Anyway show up ! we can argue ,I will say this trivia , Norms Burgers ,on corner of Ocean Veiw and Whittier Blvd ,was called Scotties Burgers and was major hang out in center of cruise strip , maybe next month go a couple laps on old strip ,see what deal was ,but deal was people along sides on street ,and many people just drove laps ,gas was cheap !
