Just to reiterate on the show cars entering from to north end of the show field...

New for 2008: Show cars that drive in without trailer will enter and exit the show field starting at 7:00am directly from a new north gate and entry. No dusty entry and exit road. Show cars on/in trailers will enter the show starting at 7:00am along in line with the swap meeters. We tried this at Fall Fling and it worked really well and we will even make some more improvements to it.

This is a entry change was a response to some suggestions made on the survey forms you all filled out at Spring Fling 2008. If you know car owners that haven't come to Spring Fling because they idled in line too long or the entrance/exit was too dusty, please tell them about the changes.

These changes were made to improve things for participants AND hopefully encourage MORE SHOW CARS to attend.


"IMHO, this is the single best improvement you (CPW) have ever made to the show." -68HemiB

"I thought the second entrance is a great idea and worked well, -- there was a little dust created at the entrance to the grass but a lot better than the other entrance." -moparman70

"...we got there around 7:45 and when we rounded the corner and there was no line of cars I thought Man this cant be good and then we drove right in with only 3 cars in front of us. Then we seen all the swapper and cars and couldn't figure out how we got in so fast. The improvments were great" -Mopar_Ron (swap spot)

Does this map help understand the new entry for show cars??

We usually have quite a large FABO turnout. Who planning on comming??

At Fall Fling, we talked about getting a meet and greet going for Spring Fling. Is anyone interested in meeting up or getting a swap space to hang out and meet together in??

The 66? red Dart that was one of the first Magnum motor conversions?? Was in the magazines. That car and the one in Oregon (Dan Ptanik?) were the cars that justified splitting the A-body restified class into 60-66 and 67-76.

Any car that is a Mopar is good enough for the show. The only requirement we that put on the show have is that it is a Mopar.

These cars are all faded, dented, not completed etc. They are being displayed in the show side. :thumblef: It's all good, show side or swap side whatever works out or is comfortable.

Steve, I think the only banners are the ones that were recently made and ordered by individual members. I don't believe there is a large banner like the one I use to bring down for the MML (Mopar Mailing List) get-together years ago but recommended to the powers that be to consider making one. Just like with the MML, we use to ship it from show to show where "responsible" local members would hang it prominently on a canopy or wherever the meeting place was designated. I know the MML banner went to at least 8-10 shows a year incl. Chryslers @ Carlisle (now ACN), the Nationals, Spring & Fall Fling, etc. It would be nice to do something similar.
 
New Midway Vendor Annoucement!!

Yes, I'm in. For the past several years i've been trying to get something going over at the Airtel but I think there are less and less folkes staying there. the meet and greet needs to be organized. Also the Malibu cruise
need to be discussed.

Maybe start a banner like we did on Moparts several years ago where members would step up and be responsible for the display of the banner at each event. Members at each event could then sign the banner. We would have to decide who ends up with the banner at the end of the year
