Edelbrock Facilities Tour Torrance, CA Gathering 05/31/08

Edelbrock Facilities Tours are by Appointment Only and I have been able to work with the Great people at Edelbrock in Torrance to allow us to Visit their Facilities.
They have set aside room for 40 people from the forum to attend. So I will need a head count from you as you sign-up. Once I hit the 40 mark I will start a waiting list.

I would like to give the manager a number of people by May 15th so please sign up on this post.

I am organizing a gathering on:
Date Saturday May 31st Admission is FREE
Time 9:30 am (They open at 10:00)
Location Edelbrock
510 Madrid St
Torrance, CA.

Tour Information
*Tours of the Edelbrock Facilities are by Appointment Only*

The group will assemble at 510 Madrid St., Torrance CA 90501. This is the sight of Vic’s Garage. Staff will open the doors at approx. 9:45 am allowing access to the museum and restrooms. Your tour will begin at 10:00 am sharp. You will start in the museum with a speech outlining the history of Edelbrock, given by either Vic or Camee Edelbrock. After which our tour guides and volunteers will split the audience up into smaller groups for a walking tour of our Manufacturing, Shock, Exhaust facilities and Distribution Center. There will be a lot of walking involved in the tour, so please ensure that your group members are dressed accordingly. Your groups will be carpooling between the facilities on sight at Vic’s Garage and our Manufacturing and Corporate Divisions located two blocks away at 2700 California St. Once all the groups have completed the tour it is back to Vic’s Garage for lunch. The store in Vic’s Garage will be open and stocked with Edelbrock apparel (pricing located in the back of our automotive catalog). We would also like to point out that photos may only be taken in Vic’s Garage. There will be no photography allowed in any of the other buildings.

Directions to Vic’s Garage
510 Madrid St., Torrance CA 90501

Coming from the 405 freeway:
Exit south on Crenshaw. Go approx. 1 mile south to 208th St. and turn left at the signal. Go up to Madrid St. and Edelbrock is on the corner of 208th and Madrid on your right hand side. Please use the parking lot in front of the building on Madrid St.

That will be a fun tour. I've been there many times to work on their CNC machines. Such an impressive garage (and facility in general).

Just an update I have 13 people signed up. To make a point. This is not a car show if your Hot Rod, Classic or Muscle Car is not ready to roll it is OK to bring the Daily Beater or the Family Grocery getter. The main thing is to give you a chance to see how things are designed, tested and made by Edelbrock. Just remember to give me the number of people coming to the tour.

It was a great tour. Got to see how the parts were made and the cool machinery used to make them. Got to see some cool cars, free lunch and free hat.
