Welcome to the first annual California boat racers reunion, to be held at the NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California.  Don Edwards, 1965 thru 1968 drag boat champion (Golden Komotion), and Richard Parks, will be hosting this event for all boat racers, crew, fans and spectators, at the motorsports museum on October 14, 2000.  The museum features nearly 60 cars, and Don Edward's famed T-40 turbine engine, within 29,000 square feet, full of racing memorabilia.  Parking is free, and we are expecting 40 boats to be on display outside the museum.

The NHRA Motorsports Museum is located on the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds, in building 3-A, next door to the Sheraton Hotel on McKinley Ave.  We have a special arrangement with the Hampton Inns for a special NHRA business rate of $57.00 per night.  This motel offers a great continental breakfast, free local calls, suite-like rooms and coupons for a 20% discount at Marie Calendars and El Toritos restaurants.  Call, Hampton Inns on Restaurant Row (ask for Joan Erickson) 3145 E.
