San Diego guys
 

Hey I'm heading down to the Escondido Show (the 1st of the year and biggest) I'll be down on Main Street, Escondido, with FAUXRS and some other motor heads around 3PM-8PM. Lets have a decent Vette showing.

:cheers:

When is this? I'm in Huntington Beach and wouldn't mind taking the trip.

I would not mind going what time are you going to drive up there? Could we maby meet up somewhere an drive up in a group? I might leave early because they have the drag at qualcom again.

I'll head up 2:30PM so i can get a good spot. Look for my car and a white 67 BB Nova.

Meeting sounds good. My cell (619) 729-3130

It's called Crusin' Grand and its Friday...

Parking is tough as nails to find if you get there after 3 pm.. the cruise is about 5 city blocks long - lined with restaurants and a few bars - a couple of art galleries.. its is seriously the best damn cruise south of LA.. possibly best in all of SOCal..

oh and the Nova is a '69 :)

Grand is the main drag of Escondido and is the civic downtown...the cruise goes on every friday through september..it gets a phenomenal turnout every time...the whole downtown is wired for sound with speakers on the lamp posts that 50's & 60's tunes blare through...there are awards each night for a number of categories...

Parallel parking make looking at the cars real easy...there are also bank lots that fill up after 6pm....one street is blocked off for a different club/type of car that is the highlight part of the cruise....technicly 73 and earlier american cars..though noone seems to enforce the years or type of cars much.. Lord knows ive been there with my 78 more times than i can count....

Same difference, it's a Nova. :D

Wow, on Friday? I wish i got off work early enough to cruise on over there. I don't get off until 5, so I will never get my vette squeezed in...

Think I can sneak my '81 in? :thumbs:

Sure.Get there early,before 2:30 pm.
At the El Cajon cruise nights(starts May),they have Vettes (1975/older) park waaaay down the end of Main street with the PT Cruisers. Heh. :D

Tragic accident,in any event.

His son works at our Squadron. :sadangel:

Just got back from the good guys car show. It was pretty good, The swap meet sucked though. I did find an owners manual for my car. I think there were 2 c3's there and about 5 c1,s

These shows do not draw many Vettes.Two years ago,there were maybe 3 C3's and just a couple of C2's.

Pretty much all street rods. I did like looking at all the different engine combos. I did see a truck with a corvette rearend and frontend
that was pretty cool. I also went to qualcom for the 8th mi. There was a c5 there tearing it up, Giving a viper some compitition. They were doing it in the 7.4s

Sounds like they the lights working together with the read out for spectators.Our power went off in our area about 4 PM and did not come on till after 8.So I did not go to the drags.Barona drags are starting up.Check that one out.I'll post info later. :flag:

Edit:http://www.baronadrags.com/schedule.shtml Here is info on Barona drags. You go up Wildcat Canyon Road from Lakeside pass Barona casino. Two lane twisting road all the way.... :D
