Today I took a trek out to Venice Beach where I caught some breakfast with Danny Trejo, the homie Eric as well as the John from Heavy Hitters. Danny showed us this new breakfast joint called "Venice" and the breakfast was the fuckin' bomb. Of course, no breakfast tradition with Danny would be complete without splitting a full stack of banana pancakes on top of a regular breakfast order.  Check out the old school Bighouse shirt that Danny's rockin….a true O.G. collectors piece.  

Funny to think that this used to be a Hells Angels hangout back in the 70's. You're probably asking how the hell I know this piece of information since I was still a baby but that piece of historical information came from Danny who's a long time veteran of Venice Beach.

It's funny how shits changed. A lot of you new school heads in the import racing scene are probably wondering what these hell these pictures are of. Well….let us put you up on game. if you're an OG in the race scene like us you'll know exactly what they are and if you're not then what you're looking at here are some old school shoes for your Honda and Acura. From SSR Neos, to SSR Fins and Super Finns, this is a snapshot of one of the most infamous and legendary times in street racing. This is a time when quality was key and cars were built right.  

So nowadays a lots changed and that includes the import racing scene. Don't kid yourself, we've all done our dirt on the streets but many of you would probably be surprised to know that the most of our staff at BHC also put in time and work at the illegal street races way back in the day.  

The cap and magnetic keys you'd need to unlock your SSR wheels. 

Back then street racing was primarily an Asian scene and if you were a homie you'd be out on Whittier cruising the low-lows. Since then, cruising Whittier is long gone and here today is a street racing scene packed with homies running sick motors instead of hydraulic switches.
