Dartforte is coming from AZ with a group I believe. Not sure his location compared to yours. 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 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 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.htmlHoliday Inn Express has open lot. More near apartments and such. Across the street from Galpin Auto Sports. https://www.guestreservations.com/h...fDh8mF3kDclAEW2x52iukNnAMBxoC2ToQAvD_BwEBest 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.htmlMost 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.

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 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.
