So Cal Event, Sat June 14th, Friends of Steve McQueen

[So Cal Mark]

This was mentioned in club events, but I thought I'd post updates here also. The Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show is coming up in Chino Hills on June 14th. There are several members of X Web that want to attend. What about meeting somewhere prior to the show, and arrving with a fleet of Fiats, Bertones and Lancias?

Here is the info;
Thanks for your inquirer. Check out our web site at
http://www.porsche356club.org calendar/events June 14th. You can print the
flyer out and directions are on the second page. If you have a car you
wish to display the fee is $20.00 for car an driver. $10.00 of each
additional person, children under 12 free. If you just want to attend
its $10.00 per person and parking is free. Pay when entering. No pre

selling and signing his book. McQueen's Machines from 10:30 to noon,

We'll have coffee available from 7 am to about 9 and In-N-Out Burgers

sale and possibly a raffle or auction of some Steve McQueen LeMan
jackets and hats.


We are expecting a number of Mustangs, Cobra's, Shelby's Porsches,
Corvettes, Hot Rod's and motorcycles many more cars plus some cars and
motorcycles that were owned by Steve McQueen. It's really starting to
take off and looks to be a good event.

Thanks to Ed DeCarbo of X Web for doing the research!

If I can scrounge up some extra cash by then I would like to do this.

so who's attending? Are we going to meet somewhere first and show up en masse? What time shall we get together? The X Web guys are up for it and want to host a bbq afterwards

[rlux4]

I think they open around 9:00. If we all met somewhere early, say 8:30-9:00, then we'd have time to do the show and still have plenty of time afterward for the BBQ. I think it's a great idea to show up en masse. I'm not familiar with the area, so anywhere is OK with me.

the show poster says 7am til 2pm

[pintopower]

I think I will be going to the show, but I dont know which car I'll take with me. I think my friend and his dad are going with his dad's X. I want to bring my Ford Pangra and my 124. Maybe I'll just chain them together....

[rlux4]

Let me try to find my paperwork from the organizer. I'm thinking 7:00 is when they open for the cars that are being shown to get lined up. Then they open for the public at 8:30-9:00. I'll post later today when I find the paperwork. Keep in mind, some of us will be driving in from a ways out, so too early would be difficult.
Ron

Edit: You're right Mark, it looks like they do open at 7:00. Man, if we end up going that early, I may have to get a room the night before.

[So Cal Mark]

I'd be open to meeting somewhere around 9am and arriving together

[rlux4]

Perfect! Do you or any of the Web X guys know of a place to gather around there?
Ron

[rlux4]

Hey SoCal FLU people! We haven't gotten together for a while lately. At this point, I only know of three for sure and one maybe that are going to show up Saturday. I'd sure like to see more of us there.
Also Mark, I take it you've been in contact with the WebX guys, do you know what we should be bringing for the BBQ? I have a portable BBQ, do you think It would be a good idea to bring it?
Ron

I would like to sign up for this event, but I want to make sure that Steve McQueen is going to show up.

Ron, are you making your famous potato salad?

[talon]

Looks like I will make it and I will be bringing my son with. So let me know when and where to show up.

See you all soon,
Cheers,

[rlux4]

Pope, you might have hit on why there's not more people on board for this thing. They weren't sure if my potato salad would be there! OK gang, tell you what, if we get two more So Cal FLU people committed to attend (note I didn't say committed for attending) I'll make a batch of Ron Luxmore's World Famous Potato Salad. Go easy on me though, don't let just anybody know about this, I have to get some sleep Friday night.

About Steve McQueen, so far he hasn't been responding to phone calls or emails.
