WHITE AND RED 69 · March 13, 2011, 11:47:57 PM

I just got a flyer in the mail that the show this year is June 5. I will try to scan the flyer and post it here later.

Who's going?

Dans 68 · March 14, 2011, 12:06:48 AM

Yep.

Dan

68X426 · March 14, 2011, 10:28:11 AM

It's on my schedule. I missed the last two due to circumstances beyond my control.

Bayareacharger · March 14, 2011, 12:38:09 PM

I will hope and pray I can get mine there

Brock Samson · March 14, 2011, 12:48:59 PM

As usual it should be cool, I'll try to make it this time.

Rallye · March 17, 2011, 12:15:16 AM

We'll be there.

crusty440 · March 21, 2011, 07:15:53 PM

I'm planning on it.

Brock Samson · April 03, 2011, 07:16:38 PM

MadScientist · April 30, 2011, 01:11:21 AM

68X426 · April 30, 2011, 10:14:59 AM

I'm still hoping to be there. "The Biggest One Day Show in California"

GunMetal · May 02, 2011, 05:47:03 PM

That '73 in the graphics looks familiar.... oh yeah, it's MINE!!

See you all there.

ChgrSteve67 · May 02, 2011, 08:34:14 PM

I want to be there but I will be heading East in the Charger to the CEMA Car Show in MI.

The nicest trophy I have is from that show and its a 2nd place.

-Steve

Brock Samson · May 15, 2011, 02:40:55 PM

I'm gonna see if we can get (the hopefully by then) Mr. & Mrs. Caveman along for the ride... they're due here the 5th so we'll see...

68X426 · May 17, 2011, 01:35:12 AM

Hey, I will be there, sent money and the confirmation arrived today. Hurray!

Any other Road Runner or GTX guys on here going to attend?

Dans 68 · May 22, 2011, 10:37:23 PM

I've decided to take the '73 this year and enter it in the daily driver class. Then I'll get see what life is like on the upper parking lots....

Take some shade with you.
I wish I could be there but I will probably be somewhere in Utah.

I expect both you guys to bring home the goods.

68X426 · May 23, 2011, 09:08:05 AM

Will miss seeing you Steve. Will you make Sacramento on 6-25?

Hey, I like the new avatar, will there be a Rt 66 trip blog forthcoming?

ChgrSteve67 · May 23, 2011, 10:27:28 AM

I'm not sure when we are going to get back or what condition I'm going to be in to go to Mopars in the Park.

I have a blog setup that I will post before I hit the road.

Joplin Missouri just got wiped out by a Tornado so I'm not sure what that part of Route 66 is going to be like when we roll through.

This is just one of those years of freak weather when it should be nice and sunny.

twodko · May 23, 2011, 10:48:31 AM

Yep, we'll be there as well. Are EZ Ups allowed at this show?

I would say yes. Here is one from last year (my wife Patty, my dogs, and Steve's wife Marie). And I didn't realize your cool wife has a tat!

Dan

twodko · May 23, 2011, 03:29:01 PM

Thanks Dan.

morepower · May 25, 2011, 12:09:56 AM

Oh yeah I go every year so I'll be there! my dodge wont be there cause im fixing her up slowly and correctly...but maybe I can find a few small things I need since I dont have a ton of money to buy the bigger stuff at the moment

twodko · June 01, 2011, 11:34:24 AM

Freakin' climate change.....WTF? Its pouring here and the weather guessers are calling for rain on Saturday and maybe Sunday too. Biggest mopar show in the bay area and it might rain. Crap!

Yep this winter wont seem to stop here. "It Figures"

68X426 · June 01, 2011, 04:43:14 PM

Wet t-shirt contests! There's always a bright side to every weather condition

Oops, my wife will be there, oh well.

That's a good point, or 2 points you could say...

SFRT · June 02, 2011, 06:19:52 PM

I shall be in attendance! hope it doesnt rain!

ChgrSteve67 · June 02, 2011, 07:05:31 PM

68X426 · June 02, 2011, 07:14:41 PM

Thanks Steve.

We'll miss you when the Mud Races start.

OK everyone, snap out of it! If the Mopar guys and gals in the rest of the country can handle a big rain, so can we. Suck it up, we get wet. It will be a blast.

morepower · June 02, 2011, 10:27:04 PM

yeah really crazy weather...Does anyone know if the show is getting cancelled or postponed or anything? I'd hate to drive the hour there to turn around.....I guess I could go to the goodguys show as a consolation...but thats a 30 dollar affair!

Dans 68 · June 02, 2011, 10:29:42 PM

Rain or Shine...the show goes on.

Be prepared to get disappointed. Ain't $30.

It's $90 if not a member of Good Guys and $55 if you are. And it's outdoors so they get wet just like us.

morepower · June 02, 2011, 10:53:28 PM

rain or shine I love it!

No I mean to spectate. my car is not on the road at the moment

No shit. Here's the pre-reg for the August Good Guys. Save $10! Save another $15 if you get the digital issue only.

(apparently there is a Sunday only entry at the door but no price mentioned).

Spectators are $26 ($18 for ticket and $8 parking).

ChgrSteve67 · June 03, 2011, 11:09:45 AM

yeah you have to be a member to show your car so if your not a member and want to show your car you have to become one.

Great angle.

morepower · June 03, 2011, 11:43:17 AM

Well i've been boycotting good guys show's and I still am! rediculous! Didnt they used to let you just pay like 8 bucks to go see teh swap meet only?

Kern Dog · June 04, 2011, 01:44:29 AM

What about spectators?
Theres the parking fee, then admission. How much is that?

morepower · June 04, 2011, 03:13:36 PM

For good guys it is 18 dollars to enter and if you park in the parking lots it is 8 dollars....Ill drive past the fairground and park on the street somewhere and walk in. though im not going but thats what I normally do.

Mopar alley show is FREE to park and FREE to enter as a spectator...way to go!

johnnycharger · June 04, 2011, 04:47:32 PM

Is there a swap meet at this rally?

Kern Dog · June 04, 2011, 06:50:51 PM

Its a 2 hour drive for me. I planned to go to sell parts at the swap meet. Sitting in the rain isnt my idea of a good time. I feel crappy for the Mopar Alley club. Word gets out that rain is coming and things snowball from there. The 3 day shows out east see rain almost every year. People that make it to those shows expect it. Who drives to a 3 day show just to sit in their motel rooms? The California market isn't strong enough to support a 3 day show. I wish that it was. People look to CA as some sort of auto hobby mecca, but up in Northern CA, its just not as much of a hotbed as I'd like.
I hope that it is dry. I know how much trouble it is to plan and host a car show.

towscum · June 04, 2011, 09:04:59 PM

ill be there, are all you guys entering your cars?

twodko · June 04, 2011, 09:54:09 PM

We're going and yeah, we're entered. 1.5 hrs from Santa Rosa. Its going to be a good dry day.

SFRT · June 04, 2011, 10:17:42 PM

the weather looks like it might be ok after all, at least once I get out of san francisco and head south...im going to get up at 5 and see how it looks then head over there around 6:30-7.00 or so with the Scow. Optimistically I just shined and vacuumed it so see u there. They will probably stick me in the R/T section again.

the swap meet is usually pretty good. I sold a car there last year within a few hours of putting a sign on it. Taking some cash just in case I find something cool.

SFRT · June 04, 2011, 10:19:40 PM

by the way we will be having our annual Chiselers picnic at lake merced by the boathouse on the 26th..its always a good time, lotta food. last year we had like 35 cars...anyone interested come on by....

Dans 68 · June 04, 2011, 10:22:11 PM

I'll be taking the '68 again...the wipers on the '73 are needing some TLC and I just don't have the time....

See you all there!

Dan

SFRT · June 04, 2011, 10:28:03 PM

yeah the little clip on my wiper mechanism came off so if it rains ill be the guy trying to wipe it off with a rolled up newspaper at speed....

morepower · June 04, 2011, 11:35:05 PM

im waking up early if it is raining then i wont be going. my car will not be there anyway. I'll drive the camaro up there if it isnt raining check out a few cars and of course the swap meet

SFRT · June 05, 2011, 07:40:14 AM

5 30 am and clear skies! wOOt! time to wake up the neighbors!

SFRT · June 05, 2011, 06:54:15 PM

show ended up great..ran into Dans68,Twodko, the Cave Couple ,Brock , some dirty unwashed Chiselers and a few other local ner-do-wells. Got there early place was empty...swapmeet dudes where panicking so I got some really great deals at like half-off! Then it filled up and ended up swell.

Also..they totally lost it and gave me 2 trophies. 1st place b body RT and Sponsors Cup. Wacky.

took some pix i will post later

morepower · June 05, 2011, 11:05:43 PM

Way to go. I ended up being lower on funds than I wanted to be. So I decided to not go because I did not want to run into any good deals and have to pass. Hopefully I can make it out to the Capital City Mopars show.
