Though the venue was new, the party provided car culture enthusiasts with one solid day of great cars, good music, and a great vibe. The venue split the car show registrants into only one area - this party was held allways at San Fernando Valley - was canceled by the lack of sponsors. But a quickly decision of Obvio !īs Crew to sponsor the event was defined with Moldy Marvin and the party was postponed to 9th. of  July, now at Los Angeles County Raceway , between Littlerock and Palmdale - Antelope Valley, near Mojave Desert.

For spectators, the show was free, and allowed folks the opportunity to see a few hundred great rods and customs, as well as shop vendors selling everything from carved wooden Tiki heads and pinstriped ashtrays to hot rod and vintage clothing. in a great "vibe" and be continued later at Moldyīs house in a Barbecue "Only for Directors" , who considered  this party as the best made untill now.
