On Saturday July 19th Bob Benson and Rick Cannon are going to open their shops up for a tour.

We will start the day at 9:00 at Santana Row, across from theWestfield Valley Fair shopping center in the back corner parking lot, where the Euro guys get together. Santana Row is located on the corner of Winchester Blvd and Stevens Creek Blvd in San Jose.

We will hang with the Euro guys for an hour or so, then head to Rick’s shop via Hicks Road and go into the back side of Almaden. His shop is located near the base of Calero Reservoir on McKean road. Rick has a collection of homemade race cars (Old Yeller types) that he has been restoring and racing.

After spending time at Rick’s shop, we will head back over Hicks on a spirited drive to Bob’s new shop for a barbeque, tour and bench racing. Bob’s shop is at 442 Industrial in Campbell, about three blocks from the downtown near St. Lucy’s Church. He is right behind the Church off of Winchester and Kennedy.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
