I've never been to Catalina, but this sounds like the perfect excuse!

Heh every time I read Catalina I think of the movie "On Any Sunday II"

For those that haven't seen it there is a clip from the Catalina Grand Prix of, I think, 1955. One shot shows a Japanese rider and the commentator says "here's something new, a YaMAha (emphasis on the second syllable) made in Japan by a piano company! By the looks of it they should stick to making pianos!"

Later in the clip the Yammie dies and the commentator says "It's too bad for our Japanese friend. That'll probably be the last YaMAha they send over here!"

Famous last words :spank:

Edit: it was 1957 and I found the clip, it starts at 4:30 but watch the whole thing!
