Visit to The Lions Drag Strip Automobilia Museum
Saturday January 21st So Cal Mets made our first 2023 outing and visited the Lions Drag Strip Automobilia Museum
in Rancho Dominguez California. After a great time at the Museum we went to lunch at 'Bobs Broiler in Downey. Bobs broiler
was originally 'Harvey's Broiler and was saved from the wrecking ball by Bobs Big Boy restaurants. They found the original
blueprints and restored to the way it used to be. To learn more go to 'bobsbigboybroiler.com. Metters along for the ride were
our new President Mike Dahlberg and his Daughter Katie, our new Cruise Director Chris Di Tommaso, Kim Dominguez, Ken Conner,
Tony Bilotti, Cindy & Bill Harris, Gabriel & Rose Baltierra, Byron Robinette, Brant Boling and his Son Lincoln I believe,
Patrick Halbert and his Daughter Leanne, Judy Smith and her friend Gina and Bob & Phyllis Burchett.
We all 'MET' at the museum. The place is HUGE! Walked around for some time soaking in all they had
to offer.
It was a great outing on a nice day!
