NorCal Challengers Trip to the Lassen Steakhouse



Ten Challengers from Redding south to Vina on I-5 and then 99.  A beautiful drive.  Expansive walnut orchards all along the way.  Must be a lot of money in walnuts.


The Orange Car


The Steakhouse right on the Highway


All good, but get the prime rib.

  1. Looks like fun!

    When we used to sell our cattle at Shasta Livestock Market we'd always take the back roads between Oroville and Red Bluff. My favorite part of the trip, besides the migratory birds in the flooded rice fields, was how amazingly productive all the lands were along the way. Most people probably wouldn't even think about it but I knew how much work went into all those crops.

  2. I'm always a sucker for Prime Rib, and will take it over a 'Choice' NY Strip any day. But if the NY Strip is 'Prime' - then it's on the plate.

  4. Folks talk about a rib eye but I think the NY strip is the one. I only wish it was called something else

    1. I'll choose a Porterhouse every single time. The best of both worlds.

  5. No prices? I guess they are adjustable.

  6. Does anybody with early challengers show up? Does anybody in your group have 1? Not dismissing the current offerings of challengers except for the v6 models, but it would be neat to see 1 or 2 in the group.

    My neighbor has a 70 aar cuda he bought many years ago before the collector car market went crazy. The only options on it are rear speaker, am radio, automatic and a passenger side rear view mirror.

    It is unrestored, 41k miles and still looks showroom fresh.

    1. 340 car. I believe all aar's were 340 so as to compete in trans am racing series. Mustangs, Camaros and Amc cars were limited to 340 or 360 cubic inches.

  7. The classic New York strip steaks are also known as a shell steak, a boneless club steak, a top loin, a strip loin steak, a sirloin, a veiny steak, an Omaha strip, an ambassador steak, or a hotel-style steak. These are some of the other frequent names for these cuts of beef

    By all means, jettison the NY part of the name and change the culture

  8. Looks like the menu was from 2+ years ago with that "cheap" pricing.
