Hot rod Lincoln was a different song; the only thing in common I could hear was the mention of San Pedro? The original version was supposedly a response to that song? The "Grapevine hill" mentioned in Hot rod Lincoln is also known as Tejon pass, and is on I-5 in southern CA, which is a main north-south artery between SoCal and Central CA. Back in the day, it was a narrow two lane winding road, which could lead to white knuckles at times. It was closed for a while yesterday due to snow..
What about Cajon Pass?
Always like the Hot Rod Lincoln story and song.
Cajon Pass the Inland Slope Rebels, Radio control (RC) slope glider PSS (Power Slope Scale,) guys fly the high lift high wind slope near the Cajon Pass and they fly heavy ,power Slope being a powered plane looking pure glider and these things really fly well a d can fly very fast and very capable of all kinds of aerobatics and high speed maneuvers using nothing but the lift if the wind coming up the mountain to give exciting flying of a pure glider ,(no power at all,). You toss the plane out into the lift you sometimes hope is there some days...
Fun hobby and can be an expensive one. These days most PSS models of WWII or later warbirds and planes are going to be fiberglass and sometime kevlar and some carbon fiber tow and cloth composite fuselages with foam and bass and balsa wood winds that are fiberglassed and often carbon fiber cloth composite construction. Basswood leading edges and spars and wing root reinforced spars and center section. Sometime film covered but almost always a painted finish.
Yeah, for me anything country is not something I willingly ever listen to...and I grew up in the country and home to a lot of country artists from the region.
I do like bluegrass, but country...gag me with a spoon...
