I missed Shasta '05 and it was great to be at Shasta '06! Seeing all of the
familiar faces, beautiful roadsters and chatting with folks reaffirmed my
love for this show.
We had close to 50 roadsters and the weather was perfect, probably the
coolest Shasta I've attended.
My brother Clark and I had to do a daytrip since he had to work on Sunday.
We left San Jose at 4am sharp and got to Shasta around 8:15am...28.7mpg at
85mph steady!!
Highlights from the show:
-Mike Braaten's '70 1600 with a full S15 SR20DE drivetrain swap. This is THE
SR engine swap that all others will be judged by. Nevermind the 6-speed
transmission, imaculate chassis, Low windsheild dash swap, BMW Z3 seats, 16"
Panasports or the Z32 calipers. Just look at the engine bay. It's hot rod
smoothed, wiring hidden, extreme attention to detail abound...I created a
separate album:
