Posted on May 16, 2015 by Skip@RR

Here’s a big pond full of waterlillies just northeast of Redding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many in one place before.

Cactus1Cactus doesn’t grow much further north than Redding in California, much like palm trees. Prickly pear is very drought tolerant plant, well suitable to southern exposure in Really Redding. Nopalitos, my friends!

Posted on April 26, 2015 by Skip@RR

Shasta historian Dottie Smith alerted me to this new video on YouTube about one of my favorite bridges in Redding, the Diestelhorst.

GTO drag race car for sale in Redding

Posted on April 24, 2015 by Skip@RR

Longtime readers will recall my friend Bob passed away a while back, and now his family needs to sell his race car. With all the car folks in town for Kool April Nites, I figure it would be good to post this again. Please share widely, and to anyone you know who might be interested. $80K into it, offered at $60K. When Bob tried to describe what it was like to drive it, words failed. Must be amazing! There are going to be plenty of roller drag cars for sale, but perhaps not as heavily modified as this one!
GTO for sale 1080For Sale! Click to enlarge image above

This 1966 Pontiac GTO bodied Drag car represents a very good example of a modern drag race car custom build. Currently located in Redding California.

The custom 1966 Pontiac “Door Slammer” GTO race car has over $80,000 invested in the build. It has been built with all of the finest racing components and has only had 6 break-in passes. Not that you’d need to, but if there was anything you’d need to replace you could check out sircarpart.com or similar sites.

The Reher Morrison 565 CID Dart block racing engine is tuned to 1,200 hp, but is capable of producing 2,000 hp with some modification and tuning.

Throw back Thursday. Here’s a fun image I captured last year in Italy. Not much this stone dog can do about the pigeon on its nose except glare at it.
