Attending my 5th Car Show (reference post #186)

It's the same location as last year...


$122.25 for that coveted "Royalty Vehicle"

 

How much for the non royalty (peasant) charge? Me and a buddy might go.

 

LOL! We’re all peasants, the more the merrier.

RADwood Standard Vehicle is $45.00 + a $3.35 Service Fee = $48.35

Same rules as the last event we went to in 2019…

NOTE: By purchasing this show car ticket you agree to stay till the end of the event. Due to pedestrian safety and fire code, you will not be allowed to leave early. Please be respectful of this important rule. Auto entrants with cars from 1980-1999. Standard Vehicle ticket includes admission for one driver and one passenger. Passengers must be present when you enter. Detailed load-in information email to be sent prior to the event.

 

Excellent, hope to make it this year. Missed the last two years.

 

@84 1LE It was great seeing you, Rick! I counted 6 ThirdGens, 3 Firebirds & 3 Camaros. What about you?

I had a small gasoline leak from the return hose that connects to the fuel tank that was growing so I replaced the hose and reused the hose clamps, but it was a crazy mess. I should have definitely used something to try and catch the fuel instead of allowing it to spill all over the floor the day before a Car Show is always so stressful!

Fuel Hose $20.93

I ended up in the same spot as last year, surreal… Cheers to RADwood 2024


@ Port of Los Angeles

 

Nice to see you again Luis. Quite a few years since the last radwood we were at together. I counted 7 thirdgens, 4 camaros and 3 firebirds. Hope to make the next radwood.

 

Oh that’s right! 4 Camaros vs 3 Firebirds. Cars & Coffee, South OC tomorrow at 0900? I’m taking 91 Bird, weather in San Clemente will be 65• let me know…

 

If I don't work tomorrow (and it looks like I may not) I will PM you tonight.

 

PM sent.

 

I missed @84 1LE PM and arrived late so I didn’t get a spot in the main event area. The weather was very nice so there was a higher turnout I reckon’.

Labor $144.75
