Hearing that their last event will be 27 Dec, then it's shutdown/over Any new Orange Co guys??

Chris Edwards

Word is the Irvine Company is cracking down. Irvine Company also decided not to renew the lease on Orange County Raceway in 1982.

Makes sense though! Apartments and no noise make more money than a huge group of cars making noise.

Apparently they are relocating, but I haven't heard where to yet.

I'm sure it will relocate so I won't make any extra effort to get up there this year. Hopefully it won't be too much farther away. Quite honestly, I see the same fate for Cbad C&C as it has been reaching an unorganized critical mass.

I just read this on FaceBook!!!...

I'm going to Irvine this Saturday for a family Christmas dinner so, maybe I can stop by one last time?!...

This is sad news, I hope they can find another venue. I really hope mike100 is wrong about the fate of Carlbad's cars and coffee.

Cliff Harris

I heard too many people doing burnouts killed the event. The neighbors hate being waked up at the crack of dawn on Saturday when they want to sleep in.

sd7ss

Yup; pretty much what drove C&C out of Crystal Cove. Sad, indeed.

Hope they can find a new venue.

Duke/Earl

They are supposed to announce a new venue this week. Might be El Toro.

rwpatte

Latest from the The Register, El Toro doesn't have the facilities... CC out grew its its location due to popularity.

mcc978

don't know where they're gonna put it.

I always wanted to go to the Irvine C&C, but never made it. My suggestion for a new venue would be where ever there is a large expanse of concrete. Airport or military installation would work good.

This past Saturdays, (12/20) Irvine Cars & Coffee was so, huge that they had to Cancel the last meet scheduled for December 27th!...

mike100

Wow!...exactly why I didn't go even though I have enjoyed past trips up there. The biggest reason why there are so many people at that event is that there were more spectators than participants. Sort of always seemed odd that it was a destination for people without toys of their own to show.

Nice article in the Wheels section of the OC Register today on the history of C & C and why it ended.

Wicked C5

Seriously disappointed as I planned to go very early tomorrow morning!

kwik ws6

Wonder how many still show up tomorrow

LongBeachC4

None, the cops had it blocked off at 5am. I drove over and found a gold C3 at the entrance to Mazda HQ, he was talking to the cops. The cops looked like they really enjoyed turning away people. Sucks. Well I made it there quite a few times. Truly a famous event, I saw a lot of great cars there.

Irvine PD don't mess around...hopefully a new location would be established soon..

Wicked C5

They had a mini Cars and Coffee at the District in Tustin yesterday I attended. Only Corvettes were a C5 Z06 and myself maybe 80 overall cars. It was OK but not even close to the same.
