The terrain at Woodley is nothing short of terrible
I never had a problem with it. Grass is easier on your feet and cooler to walk on compared to pavement.
What concerns me is that this event location REALLY changes the event. I have gotten to like the extra activities as much as the actual show itself. The Friday cruise, the Friday night at the Burbank Big Boy, the Saturday night at the Northridge Big Boy....These locations are now much further away and not likely to be included.
I started going to the show in 2001 strictly for the cars and the parts. By 2010 I joined in on the extra activities including staying at the Air Tel, hanging out in the parking lot with those wacky Candians...
Well at Fall Fling we really just have the Malibu cruise. This is not a Spring Fling.
With this short notice change, we just can’t pull all the extra activities
There are possibilities for all that from and around Irwindale. Less traffic, bigger lots, safer area,
Neat mountain cruising (Angeles Crest, San Gabriel Cyn Rd, Mt Baldy), NHRA museum, Justice Brothers museum, Cruise-In locations
You can hang out in the Monrovia Courtyard by Marriott host hotel also. Which is right next door to about 3-5 restaurants and a big parking lot. Le Roy’s breakfast is a well known for locals and across the street.
Old Town Monrovia is 5 min from host hotel and has over a dozen local favorite eateries: The Peach, Jakes Roadhouse, Old Town Pizza, T. Phillips Alehouse....
Also you can jump on and off the freeway and go to Old Spaghetti Factory in 5 min. Another local favorite.
