There is something very special about visiting Art Chrisman’s shop in Santa Ana, CA. In size it is about as large as most garages and the equipment is standard. But it isn’t buildings and tools that draw people to this site, but the man himself and the heritage of the Chrisman family. The Chrisman’s have been involved in motorsports for over 60 years. They set high standards for their work on cars and in developing driving performance that have inspired others. They are the team to beat, the top of the hill, the best to try your skills against. His Christmas Party is equally popular and looked forward to by his fans and friends. You never know whom you will meet at Chrisman’s garage. Stu Hilborn, Ed Iskenderian, Jerry Kugel, Phil Remington, Roy Fjastad, Jim Dunn, Jack Underwood, “TV” Tommy Ivo, and many others drop by to visit and relive the Golden Age of Motorsports.
Thanks for the Show!
