Default An awesome event!

I've been to a lot of car shows over the years. These guys do a great job with this show. Highly recommended. This isn't your average "park your car in the parking lot" show. Not there's anything wrong with that but this show is certainly a notch above that. Great location and good people running things! If you're thinking about coming out it really is worth it!

Weather report shows high of 71 partly cloudy so if the wind picks up a little, it can get rather cool right off the water if you are not use to it. See you all next Sunday
Not true. You can leave any time you like. See post #22.

Not sure what post 22 has to do with it; however, you won't be able to just leave. Granted, if you have an emergency they will work with you but the cars are packed in there rather tightly. Last year I was parked in the back along the water and a row of cars had been parked right in front of us. The only way to get out would be to locate several drivers and have them all move their cars to let you out. Now, if you checked in at just the right time and had been directed to just the right spot that allows you access to leave without involving other cars then you might get away with it. Additionally, the only way to drive out is on the one road that is all pedestrian traffic for the show. JMHO but if you purchase a ticket and park on the grass, expect to be there until the show is over. Here is an example of the parking:

You're right. Parking is tight and we are on track to have over 400 cars this year. One club is bringing 45 cars! But if you need to get out, we'll do our best to make it happen. Plan on staying for the day though. We have a new food vendor and 12 vendors selling car stuff. Gonna be a great show! Thanks for all the kind words guys. We appreciate it! Dave. North County Corvette Club.

I have a lowered C5. How well would a lowered car fare getting up on the grass and tooling around the grass area?

How's the weather down there? Forecast for Sunday looks suspect.

Some areas would be easier than others but there is always a spot for "lowered" cars.

Bring a sweater - the weather might be a little chilly... but it won't rain! I guarantee it! See you all there.

My neighbor and I drove down this morning from Granada Hills. Had a great time checking out all of the cars, and I mean a lot of cars. Very relaxed, friendly atmosphere in a great setting. Will return next year.

I participated in the event also. It was completely awesome and well worth the trip from Northwest LA! Another shout out to NCOCC for their tremendous efforts!
