The Pasadena Roadster Club had their 10th anniversary picnic rod run get together in the beautiful Los Angeles National Mountains Sat May 5th. Newcomb’s Ranch Bar and Grill was the destination spot parking some 60 classic hot rods as members, family and friends enjoyed beautiful weather, burgers and lots of hot rod talk.
PRC members converge yearly for the annual “Reliability Run” where drivers with a co-pilot/ map navigator, rally a 3 1/2 hr course (obeying all traffic laws of course) for best time on the selected route for a trophy prize. 
The Pasadena Roadster Club was originally established back in 1945 when a couple of previous clubs, the Flyers and the Velociteers merged. The first run took place in 1947 and by the mid-’50s the Club and the Reliability Run were pretty much gone. Happily, for San Gabriel Valley hot rodders the Pasadena Roadster club was re-established in 2002. and in 2004, the Reliability Run was brought back by popular demand.
