I was there for an hour or so. Decent show. A few nice people who greet you when you walk up to their car.

Zoom in on the first image, it's panoramic.

I heard that a wheel fell off one of the C1s, I believe, on 680 going home. The driver was OK, and no one was hurt by the wheel. I don't know how badly the car was damaged.

Yes. I passed by just as he was sliding off the road. I emailed the show sponsor with the information but in case he is also reading this, his wheel bounced a quarter mile or more down the highway and then veered off the freeway at the first exit. Almost like it had a purpose in mind.4/4

4/27: The owner reports: just a few scratches when the wheel came off. but it looks like I may need a new axle and brake drum.

really? I parked over there at about 10:30 before going to the movies and it didn't look too busy. I saw about 5-6 rows of cars at 10 cars per row. Oh well.

I agree about 60 cars. I got there about 10 and left about noon and only saw three rows of cars roped off.
