Planning on it. Slim chance we'll be in the Barracuda...

Color me there for the Friday cruise, and at least Saturday in the park.

I'll be in Willow Springs on Thursday.

Awesome, thanks for posting that !

Thinking about it.

i am thinking about it as well but airline flights are outrageous.
I am not sure how to rationalize that cost for a weekend trip.

Dartforte is coming from AZ with a group I believe. Not sure his location compared to yours.

I should be there. not sure if I will be swapping or looting.

If Steven's Performance comes to the show, I'll probably put an order in for parts as it's cheaper for them to bring to she show than payin fexex/UPS to deliver.

I think he is a couple hours north of me.

A local friend of mine wants to drive his 66 Valiant .
So its a reasonable maybe we make the trip this year. I was planning a trip back east with cars but logistically may wait until next year,,,,AKA Post retirement

If I bring mine, I will trailer it that far

I'm there every year, have been for 25 years or so, went on the cruise a couple times.

Thinking of driving my Valiant

if we go, odds are this will be one of the 2 we take

I'll have wiper motors bring cores

Bruce Somer

Always a pleasure having you attend.

I know nothing about the area. What are the options for alternate hotels near by that i dont have to worry about the neighbors / or my car

There are only the 2 listed on the flyer

Bruce , you have the switch plate for a 1966 B body wiper motor?

I will be there both days, appreciate Airtel being the host hotel again.

If you are trailering, I'd suggest leaving the car on/behind trailer at the show ground. We have overnight paid security. There were 14 trailers last time. Most of last years survivor tent cars. We charge $30 extra for Friday and Saturday nights for that at show. The Airtel charges $20/night. Then you just re-enter the park in the morning with line of show cars (not very long) and just show your dash placard. Trailer Parking is about 400 ft from Show Area

Airtel has secluded parking and nothing around it. It's next to a small local airport and industrial area. Cars aren't a problem there, but the trailer parking is temporarily reduced in size right now.


Best Western Sherman Oaks is 1.5 miles from show. Does not have trailer parking whatsoever. https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/b...lus-carriage-inn/propertyCode.05595.html

Holiday Inn Express has open lot. More near apartments and such. Across the street from Galpin Auto Sports. https://www.guestreservations.com/h...fDh8mF3kDclAEW2x52iukNnAMBxoC2ToQAvD_BwE

Best Western Canoga Park is a little further away. But has trailer parking https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/b...a-park-motor-inn/propertyCode.05020.html

Most show people are staying at Airtel or Carriage Inn. Two weeks ago Airtel had 15 rooms booked on Friday and Saturday. But it can fill quick.

Just noticed this funny car on the CPW website.

Did Jack steal the steering wheel?


Helpful hint for online registering...

Click on the large blue checkered box that says "REGISTER NOW!" diagonally.

Do NOT bother clicking on the word "Register" in the Spring...Fall...Register...About...Media...Links...Contact bar.

Thanks.

I’ll mention it to TWS to correct that.

Just called the Airtel make a reservation and they said they are already sold out. That’s a bummer.

been sick for 3 weeks now, not sure how my plans to go will work out. Doctor says if I'm not better, no long trips.

That sucks. Hope you get to feeling better.

We'll be rolling in Friday afternoon. Hope the weather is good. No 5" of rain.

Please check out this great Spring Fling show article from the official Dodge Garage website!

Lots of old pictures down memory lane too!

Please "like" the article to show support of West Coast events. Comments are even better. It really helps the show.

Dodge Garage - News

Park looked GREAT today. No mud, grass was green and cut.

Look forward to seeing everyone next weekend

Looks good. Let's hope the weather cooperates!

Major improvement over last Oct.

Had a nice time on Saturday, seen a lot of friends, felt good being out for the first this year. Then on Sunday, I was kicked out of my swap spot by security and could not sell and load up stuff I had bought. Mind you I was 14 minutes late to the gate closing and my swap spot was literally 15ft on the dirt path next to The Mopar shop display (whom I would help out ED and his family during the show). No kidding I went around to my spot, security came by and told me it's too late to be there and made me leave my spot I was already in. I asked them to talk to Paul which knew of my spot, they called on a phone and still denied. Kind of embarrassed and miffed. I'm talking with my friends and club members who attended to see if it is still worth attending ether events in the future.

Was it a rent a cop or LAPD?

Migs,

I’ll reach out to you after work.

Was this packing up issue when you were loading up to leave Sunday after 3pm?

Swapper’s started leaving at 1pm Sunday. Awards were done at 3pm

I took this picture at 4:25pm. I can see Ed’s swap area behind the tool guy in the foreground.
