Larger than a single club event; not on a beach

As Ralph Schenck's Streamliner was there in original form, was this 1941?

I knew that picture looked familiar, I even posted a very similar one: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18578.msg185087#msg185087
Those guys are members of the Southern California Timing Association, holding the Automotive Equipment Display and Hot Rod Exhibition in January, 1948 at the National Guard Armory in Los Angeles.

Aha!  The SCTA (of which I'm a member) is a sanctioning body for LSR and many racers belong to individual clubs, one of which is the San Diego Roadster Club.  The "principal" of the Target 550 team is a member of the SDRC.  A strange thing (to me) is that you have to be a member of SCTA to race at one of their sanctioned events on the salt flats, but to race at El Mirage (and before 9/11) at Muroc Dry Lake, you have to be a member of SCTA AND one of the recognized clubs.  Since Muroc's on Edwards Air Base, it's all closed off now.  Ironically, they open up a runway for an event called "The Mojave Mile" that I hope to compete in next year...and that event is run by a totally different organization.  It's as confusing as the ACO and Le Mans.
