visitor to LA & LAS VEGAS

Hey guys my wife and i are heading to LA and Las Vegas from april 18 to may 16 from Australia and are wondering what shops to visit for parts or look at for rotary stuff.
Also any drag meets, drifting, car shows, cruises or swap meets to look at while we are there

We are mainly chasing stuff for our RX7 FC S4 Drag car that runs a 13B BP with a GT4294 turbo
we are chasing such things as drag wheels (welds or any 15x8), tyres (slicks 26x8.5) front runners, nos kit if anyone knows of such things for sale?
Thanks in advance.

Racing Beat in Anaheim might also be worth a stop; their website'll get you anything they carry, but visiting can establish a relationship.

Not far from Disneyland, either, if you're into that.
