Thanks Steve. :slap:

We'll miss you when the Mud Races start.  :nana:

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.  :2thumbs:

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.

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).

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

morepower

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!

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.

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.
