Wore out three sets of tires already!
This is all very interesting. Being a teenager in the late '70's/early 80's I didn't have the means to travel to some of the wonderful meets around the country, but I want to start now. I do have many great memories of attending the local shows (for me) in Huntington and Newport Beach, CA between 1981-1985. Leon Dixon would attend some of them, and John Koenke would have a table there. I even won second place in a show once in 1982 with my first ballooner - a Schwinn Panther. I always wanted to attend the Whizzins of the day, but never went.
I will have to dig, but I have photos of the shows and swap meets somewhere, some were put on by Gertrude Vorgang of the Pedal Pusher. She certainly deserves some credit as a pioneer of this hobby on the West coast. I will post a couple when I find them.
