Mopar Pictures from the Spring Fling

For those of you who didn't make it to the Spring Fling, like me, MSN was nice enough to indulge us with a ton of photos of the event.

To those whos cars are shown.

Thanks for the link....Not quite what I was expecting.....A couple of nice cars, but it looks like a lot of driver quality or, even less cars, filling the grounds

That is ture Alan. I have only attened a couple of times, but there seems to be a lot of "daily drivers" in attendance. Last time I was there they had over 500 cars in attendance. the show field is on grass, but very dusty, so show cars are constintly dusting they car.

Same thing happens with our CDN show Moparfest.   They are the North America's third largest Mopar Only show with over 1600 in attendance.....but a good 75% of them are a little better then daily drivers. 
At least they limit the amount of "new" cars, otherwise we'd get over run with new Challengers, Chargers, etc...

Great pics thanks for sharing...but am I missing something-was the spring fling supposed to be a mopar concourse event? If not, isn't the goal  for us all to share our cars with each other...whether it be daily driver, local car show ready, AND concourse?

Car shows mean different things to different people. Not living anywhere near this Spring Fling show, I've only read or heard good things about it. As I said, the quality of the cars in attendance are not what I was imagining...that's all !

Sorry Alan, In northern climates guys build perfect garage art to bring out when the weather allows... In California we get to drive them 12 months of the year so we have no time to rub on them....

One of the advantages of living in California is the fact that we can drive our cars pretty much year round.
Of course since my AAR is offline for a while we could use a little (a lot) of rain, while I'm restoring it.
I just hope I live long enough to put 75K on it like R/T
I can appreciate the quality of a first class restoration, I just wan't something that looks good, and drives better!
Just 2 different approaches, one not better then the other

Yes the spring fling is an event that encourages all types of Mopars.  Past shows have had road course day at Willow Springs raceway, http://www.willowspringsraceway.com/ and there is almost always a cruise night around Simi Valley or to Malibu, plus there have been pre event cars shows at Bobs Big Boys.

Some of those pictures are actually cars parked outside of the show area.  There are almost as many Mopars in the parking lot then there are in the show area.

Its a great show, very laid back.

I can see where that would make a huge difference.
