I plan on being there. I'm on the fence about swapping. The Airtel was secure about leaving out stuff, gear, rides and families when we stayed there. I know nothing of how safe these other places are or how secure the hotels lots are. for the nearly 29 years I attended the show, I have very interesting stories of stuff that happened to our group before getting situated at the Airtel Hotel.
Also, nice to see that Schumacher Creative Service is back in business. Did someone buy the company and take it over?

Yes. Chris at Motech bought Schumacher.
The alternate hotel has a gate they close overnight. But yes, its new to us.
There’s people that stayed at Carriage Inn last Fall Fling and I heard no issues.

I just got back from the MATS and it was their best swap meet in few years so the Fling should be KILLER. I'll be rolling in Friday afternoon as always.

I liked Vegas. Huge turnout in the race area, autocross was well attended with quite a slew of Mopar's plus lesser cars. HA! The car show was not very well attended by any of the brands, huge amount of open space in that lot. There was a gent with a Daytona in the tent section that DROVE IT FROM COLORADO. Pristine car. Had put clear bra on it for road rash protection. Came through the snowy weather. Also a young gun with a 70 Monaco wagon that drove from South Dakota with its turbo'd 400. One couple from Florida trailered, open in their case, their two 68/9 Plymouth's to the event. Met up with friends from so-cal and raced the cars.

The spaces we have Pre-Registered seem to be in the bigger size.
Figuring last Fall Fling swap was Spring Fling sized… I guess this Spring Fling will be KILLER sized ?
We’ll be parking swap with no big gaps.

FYI everyone, the Congo’s Park Best Western is not $139 show price and is $260 a night and they said they did not have any specials. Also the other location is out of the group rate $139 specials.

Miguel, I don't think that anyone here is going to travel to the Congo for a car show. I doubt there are any Mopars there.

Stoopid spell check. Canoga Park is what is says and the Congo, well it’s probably 4-wheelers going to that event. 🤣
I appreciate the hard work the members of the CPW club do every year to make these events something for everyone to enjoy.
I’ll check Monday and see if Carriage Inn can open more Show Discount rooms. Or if they have any left
Then see if I can check with Canoga Park BW. When I looked in January they had $140 range rooms. The closer you get to the show the rates unfortunately go up.

Carriage Inn * Host Hotel Group Rate Name: "Chrysler Performance West Car Club" or "Car Club" * Rate: $139.00 per night * Free Parking * 24hr Denny's on site
Get them while you can!

There’s some cool stuff I keep hearing that coming…it just keeps building up…
Famous racers Paul Rossi and Bob Tarozzi the 68 Hemi A-body creator…
Survivor 1 owner, 73k mike so cal 340 duster for sale in swap.
New swapper from Utah with really some cool 2nd and 3rd gen Charger parts. 68 complete 3 speaker dash, 71 r/t doors, etc. 71-up truck parts, lots of road signs, big spot.
Even more common parts like person clearing out their garage with a 360 std bore short block under that sounded reasonably priced.
Those are just snippets of some of the swap banter feedback.
And bigger than normal spots.. lots of 60’ (3 spots) sellers. We’ll be parking swap tighter than last few years in anticipation.
You guys.. BRING YOUR CASH ! … if you don’t find something special you can always take your cash back home. But the deal you missed will be gone forever!

Just this morning we beat our record for Swap Meet Pre Reg by 2 spots over the past 10 years! There's STILL 2 weeks until the show.
So we are officially Record Setting ! ....Already with 2 weeks to go.
Show cars are looking very strong too.
Lots of show cars are utilizing the Friday and Saturday night early trailer parking. That allows people to park the trailers and tow vehicles overnight. Or what most do, take there tow vehicles back the hotel. It's only $25 extra for both nights.

Steve , Thank you for all the parking assistance !
I have few people ask about show T-SHIRTS ??? Will there be any ? Can you share the design ?
Kevin Maloy
No problem.
Yes, there will be T-shirts. I don't know the design. We have a club volunteer that works that with California Casuals and their artist.
lets just hope they are not purple and orange. normal colors please.
Black, Ash, and White. But there will be a few high impact colors available early Saturday until they run out.
Get T-shirts at least before noon Saturday to make sure to get your size. This show is going to be big we will run out at some point. I’m sure we ordered with past shows numbers months ago.
