(Photos by Wes Allison) Our photo coverage from the Mooneyes New Year’s Party Car Show and Drag Races is just getting wound up. We have a bunch of great photos thanks to Wes Allison, and we are excited to share them with all of you. We’ve already posted a few galleries, and have many more coming. Don’t worry, if you miss any of them you can just use the link below to check them all out.
Up through 2018, every Southern California hot rodder could be found at Irwindale Speedway in early December for the Mooneyes X-Mas Party and Drags. It was one of the staple events that you couldn’t help but have fun at, and even through all the ownership changes and supposed closures of the race track, the show kept on. But then it all stopped after 2018’s show. So you can imagine how excited everyone was to hear that they were bringing back the show, but with a slightly different date, and a new name befitting of the date change. Welcome to the Mooneyes New Year’s Party and Drag Race. This is going to be as epic as the original because they are picking up right where they left off.
This is one of the coolest SoCal events all year. With food, drinks, bands, girls, clothes, lifestyle items, drag racing, cars, trucks, bikes, and more, this is one event you have to attend. The weather was amazing, the car count was huge, and Wes Allison was on hand shooting tons of photos of all the cars, trucks, and more.
With temps in the 70’s, and the sun shining, there was nothing but goodness going on.

Thanks to Wes for taking the shots and putting in the work it took to get them and thanks to the rest of y’all for getting them posted. These pics have brightened up a drab SWKY every day this week.
I’m 69 years old and I’ve been around some, but I’ve never been to SoCal, and it sets what’s left of my hair on fire to think that there can be so many cool cars and people in an area to have a show like this or an event like the Pomona swap meet.
