Nor Cal 2008 Car Shows


WP64

Recommended Posts

Car show season will soon be here and I want to show my GT500 at one or two of them in Northern California this year. Danville and San Carlos both have informal shows downtown in the summer, I'm not sure if they are having them this year or if they are open to all years/makes/models? The Goodguys will have two shows at the Alameda County Fair Grounds in Pleasanton this year, but the Goodguys shows are mostly for rods and customs, although there were quite a few new Mustangs at their April show last year; here's a link to their March show http://www.good-guys.com/events/eventDetai...?eventid=08-801.

 

I'm just wondering if any Nor Cal Team Shelby members will be participating in any shows this year in Nor Cal and if we might be able to get some Team Shelby members together at one of the car shows, I think a Team Shelby area at a car show would be very cool and a fun place for a get-together. A one day show might be prefered but I'm open to suggestions.

 

Lastly, if you know of any scheduled car shows in Nor Cal this year please post the details or provide a Web link to these shows.

 

Let's see if we can put together a Team Shelby car show get-together in Nor Cal this year... :happy feet:

Hi,

 

I am a Team Shelby member who lives in San Jose. I was on the Shelby Run and met a couple of other Bay Area members. We discussed trying to get a function together in our area with Robert and Sharon. They said that Gary Paterson has a long term relationship with Nor-Cal SAAC and putting something together here would be a nice way of reaching out to them. I will follow up with Sharon and see if anything is going to happen.

 

If you are interested, I do go a few SoCAl shows. The next one is Aprill 22nd, Fabulous Fords Forever at Knott's Berry Farm.

 

http://www.fordcarclubs.org/ has link to request a reg form. This show is a blast. If you end up going, we could coordinate something.

 

I will keep in touch and let you know about the shows I am attending.

 

regards,

 

Michael

Half Moon Bay Dream Machines is GREAT! 50,000+ easy.

 

Get there early as they close entry after 2000 cars (around 9:30 AM they will be full), bring a cooler and some lawn chairs, and make a day out of it.

I will be showing my 68 GT500, 68 GT600KR, 70 Boss 302, and (if it delivers in time) the 08 GT500KR I have had a deposit on for damn near eternity.

Hey guys, thanks for sharing those events. The Fabulous Fords Forever at Knott's Berry Farm event sounds very interesting, eventhough it's a long haul for me. But it's a Disneyland year for the family so late April might work out very well for a Knott's, DL and Lego Land trifecta in So Cal.

 

WOW Ray, three beauties and one more on the way. If those are part of your retirement portfolio I'd say you're doing quite well :superhero: What time of the year is the Half Moon Bay show this year?

Hey WP

Were you in Livermore yesterday?

I saw a black with silver stripes followed by a girl in a red car it looked like they were lost. Not making fun just curious.

Nope, it wasn't me Art. Mine's a top stripe delete...

 

How's the cruise in Livermore these days? I remember it from the late 70's early 80's, it was one of the better ones in the tri-valley; Walnut Creek had a good one back then too. Did you grow up in this area?

I am usually at the Goodguys show every year with one of my cars. This year I am bringing my 65 GT350 Clone and my Shelby GT-H #298. Let me know if your going to have a Team Shelby section, I can bring my Viper instead of the GT350.

I belong to the CA-Mustangs.com club and we always meet up at the ungodly hour of 430 in the morning so we can get a good spot for the show. we usually have about 20 cars and we always invite any mustang to join us at our spot. we have a banner that we put out.

If anyone from here wants to join us than bring you're car and and park with us.

I may bring my 68 this year instead of my 500.

I will also try to make the Half Moon show also.

 

WP. the cruise in Livermore doesn't happen much I cruise main and you can find a few cars out but not like before.

Later in the year the Altamount Cruisers have a FREE show and shine on Saturday at the Prestige furniture store on first street behind the IHOP. they also give away coupons for 20% off food at Chevys and IHOP. They also have a LARGE show in Livermore in I think October I will post the information as soon as I get it.

I would like to get together this spring for a cruise and picnic I will revisit this thing in April or if you all come to the Goodguys we can make plains there.

The Sacramento Area Mustang Club has an annual show in July called, "Mustangs in the Park". Details are forthcoming. We had some winners from the Ca-Mustang Club last year.

Hey Art, I'm up for a drive. Mines Rd. sounds interesting, I don't believe I've been on that one. We Nor-Cal Folk have been talkin' and talkin' about a get-together here in South West TS forum for some time...Is it the right time yet to put a plan together for a sunny day in April? BeeKay has the list of the Nor-Cal Folk, we need to do this :superhero:

I think that we should hold out until after May that way we will be sure of a sunny day.

Or maybe end of May.

All we need to do is find a place in the middle so everyone has a opportunity to drive there car.

It would be nice to bring family and BBQ at a park. I have a 11 year daughter that may like to go but I may be able to find a sitter I just thought more fun if family affair.
