(Photos by Darr Hawthorne) –<\/strong> <\/em>For nearly forty years, West Coast Customs Cruizin\u2019 Nationals holds a show at Santa Maria Fairpark on California\u2019s Central Coast. Farming, hot rodding, customizing and racing are traditions in this car town – dating back to the early 50\u2019s when one of the first California drag strips was out on an old runway that is now Foster Road.<\/p>\n

This huge show attracts hundreds of pre-1965 hot rods, lead sleds, cruisers, trucks and newly completed local customs to the packed fairgrounds.\u00a0On Friday night the town closes off the main drag for a cruise that the residents of Santa Maria enthusiastically support.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a video of this year\u2019s Friday Night cruise:<\/p>\n
