One of the hightlights of living in Napa used to when a bunch of hot rod owners would cruise somewhere here every year. The cops would get out the riot gear, helicopters, bullhorns, tear gas grenades, call for reinforcements to deal with the menace of a bunch of middle aged guys who finally had the scratch to build the hot rod they probably wanted when they were kids. They were beautiful, and used radios to dodge the cops long enough to make their cruise. Maybe gangs started showing up to ruin things like I hear they're doing with Hot August Nights in Reno, but I don't remember seeing any of that. In fact, I don't remember seeing the cars at all in a while. Maybe Fenton knows something about this. It's possible I just wasn't paying attention.
