what to do in Pomona Ca.???

59imp · Oct 9, 2010

so mid Nov i will be in Pomona for the NHRA finals, i've always wanted to go to a big NHRA event so i made it happen. i will be flying into LAX, renting a car and staying near California Polytec University, which is about 5 or so miles from the track.

so what else is there to do in the area? we will have a car and a GPS, but i don't know thw area at all, any tips??

any 'bad' spots to avoid? it's a long way for me to go and i wouldn't want to miss something cool cause i didn't know it was there.....

The famous Pomona swap meet of course but that probably isn't the same weekend. The Brits make the rounds of the museums and rodshops when they come over, many of those seem to be in the Huntinton Beach area.
