Last weekend was the first Donut Derelicts show of 2018 and we got a couple galleries worth of photos to share with you. We showed you the first one on Sunday, but if you missed it then CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE THE PHOTOS<\/a>. The weather here in Huntington Beach was awesome as usual, while most of you out there were experiencing freezing cold temperatures. We almost feel bad for you, but if we felt too bad we’d never share the photos and that would suck now wouldn’t it? So here is batch number two of the photos and we’ll bring you more from more Donut Derelicts weekends this year as well.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t familiar with Donut Derelicts, it is an iconic car event that is a must attend SoCal icon.<\/p>\n

Here is the history of how it got started.<\/p>\n

Do-nut\/ der-e-licts, pn. Do\u2019nut, Der,el\u2019 icts. 1. Traditional, hearty individual,<\/div>\n
bent\u00a0on increasing horsepower, style, and a sense of independence through automotive expression\u201d\u00a0 2. An obsessive, compulsive for whom\u00a0fast is never<\/div>\n
fast enough, shiny\u00a0is never shiny enough, and at the cost of all else; seeks<\/div>\n
the ultimate fellowship with\u00a0others who share\u00a0the \u201caddiction\u201d for all that<\/div>\n
is mechanical.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are many tales of the who, what, where and when Donut Derelicts all got started\u00a0on the famous corner of Magnolia & Adams in Surf City, Huntington Beach, California.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Adams Avenue Donuts has long been a community meeting place for old timers to gather\u00a0and discuss the local politics, the list of chores their wives had waiting at home for them\u00a0and other topics of nostalgia.\u00a0 Some of these beginning old timers were hot rod enthusiasts,\u00a0Jim McCain, Ronnie Parrick, Ed & Harold, Mark Porter & Tom Witherby to name a few.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The guys would meet around 7ish each Saturday morning. Man, has that changed!\u00a0 They\u2019d\u00a0enjoy coffee and a donut and exchange pleasantries and\u00a0opposing political views.\u00a0 In February, 1985, they decided to meet at the donut shop with their cars.\u00a0 They added \u201cbench racing\u201d and \u201csports\u201d to their morning discussions, replacing some of the less important and more controversial topics.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After many Saturday morning gatherings, one by one, the local street rod owners started to join in.\u00a0 Before long, not only was the front row of the parking lot filled, but the back row and the remainder of the lot began to fill.\u00a0 The whole thing started to gain momentum.\u00a0 A phone list was started by Jim McCain that had 90 plus names and a heading dubbed \u201cDonut Derelicts\u201d\u00a0.\u00a0 That list is still in existence and proudly so is the name..<\/div>\n

The word was out!\u00a0 Every street rod, hot rod, classic and specialty creation from the South Bay to Laguna and parts unknown had heard about the self proclaimed \u201cDonut Derelicts\u201d.\u00a0 People come each Saturday to marvel at the beautiful creations of those who have spent thousands of hours, gallons of wax, and tons of money for a hobby that keeps\u00a0enthusiasts out of trouble, cash and honey-dos.<\/p>\n
