No spectators...What the heck does that mean? Only people that bring a car or are selling at the swap are allowed? Ok, that was confusing. I re-worded it. Is it better now? This is a scramble to change sites at this short notice. We can do this. It’s just errors like Frankenduster spotted that are going to pop up and we need to correct We are not using the term “spectators”. That is for Concerts, Baseball stadiums, etc. where people sit in stands together. When you walk in to buy parts in the outdoor swap meet you are a “Participant”. You are shopping, just like grocery store. LA county outdoor permanent-like daily swap meets are open. And that’s what we are.

correct - the way I read it - there are NO spectators, ONLY participants
one can "participate" by:
shopping
selling
showing
supporting
racing
crewing
I'm sure more details will come out, but it sounds like a MOPAR event "FALL FLING" in ~11 weeks
You got it ! But I do need that feedback on the communication from Greg and others. So I can tweak things. Our people have nearly 30 years of habits. They attend on auto-pilot. They will misinterpret things that we are not used to explaining. There will be participant admission. I know that's a change. But I think I've got the Facility to do it for under $20. Everything else is pretty close to normal prices. There will be Food and Beer concessions !! But please be understanding that it will probably not be as well oil machine like typical 'Flings are. And we are ready to make adjustments when needed.

It'll be hot on the asphalt but I'll be there! Excited to finally have a Mopar show! Don’t forget, show is October 24th. Cooler weather than now And EZ-ups are ok. Even in show field. We don’t have those public park rules. There are also a few new tents with pedestrian benches spread out around the show and swap. I will see and confirm those soon.

I'm in.  Awesome to see the support I talked with one swapper that was busting at the seams with parts. Restores cars and dabbles with parts... without shows the parts pile is overflowing. He’ll have 4-5 spots with an E-body for sale. One local Mopar drag guy said he knew about 30 Mopar drag buddies that would come. He’s got the burgundy 68 Dart turbo that was on cover of Hot Rod magazine Drag entry might get limited. So pre reg to hold spot. We are using www.thefoat.com for all pre reg. And you will get a QR code to print or display on your phone at entry gate. Then they will just scan you in. No postal mail in registration. Sorry, just too late for that.

if i can get the day off ill be there Will be about 1 1/2 hour shorter drive for Arizona and Las Vegas people. Completely avoiding Los Angeles city limits. Also the drive time will be cut in half for Orange County, Riverside, Inland Empire folks. So I expect car we haven’t seen or haven’t seen in a while.

Any thoughts on a Friday Cruz. Maybe a tour of the NHRA museum with a meet and greet.

Any thoughts on a Friday Cruz. Maybe a tour of the NHRA museum with a meet and greet. Cruise will probably be too much at this time. Good idea on the NHRA museum, IF it’s open. At this time we are trying to get flyers and online registration up. Then, focus honing down the event logistics with Irwindale. I think we do a real good job and have a high standard with event logistics. Please be considerate that a location change, short notice, mixed staff that there will be challenges and hiccups.

Any overnight camping for an RV and trailer? Unfortunately at this time I don’t believe so. More details to follow. There are more RV and camping facilities for that in that part of town though. The Courtyard by Marriot will be the host hotel. Just 3 miles away. I will be contacting them for a rate and/or block. Don’t expect much at this late date.

I'm happy to see that some type of event is going to happen.Thank you for working to make this possible.
I am guessing that the confusing language that was used was necessary to comply with the draconian regulations imposed by the state?
Also, Did I see that there will be an admission charge at the gate, then an additional fee to have a swap space or to show a car?
Changes like these always result in some hiccups. Only a jerk would complain when a few things go wrong. I hope that most people are understanding.
With all the over-reaching closures and restrictions, this show ought to be like the only girl in the bar at closing time...It might not be the best time ever but it is the only option available at the time!
Kidding, of course. I plan to be there. 1 - 20x20 swap (includes 1 participant admission) 1 - show car (includes 1 participant admission) 1 - drag car (includes 1 participant admission) trailers included also with drag entry Scenario: 1 show car with 3 adults in it.... pay for ONE show entry and TWO participant entries 2 swap spaces with 3 adults... pay for TWO 20x20 spots and ONE participant entry Does that help clarify ?
