    Just getting the word out that we have the dates for Spring Fling XXIII April 25th & 26, 2009 Held at Woodley Park, Van Nuys CA

    2008 show: 500+ cars, 250+ swap, 40+ midways, 9,000+ FREE admission spectators, held in a beautiful tree lined and shaded park.

    Less that 20 miles from LAX airport, Burbank Airport, Universal Studios, NBC studios, Magic Mountain, the Pacific Ocean, Beverly Hills, Hollywood...

    New for 2009: Show cars that drive in without trailer will enter and exit the show field starting at 7:00am directly from a new north gate and entry. No dusty entry road. Show cars on trailers will enter the show starting at 7:00 along with the swap meeters. This is a response to some suggestions you all made on the survey forms you filled out.

    Make sure to wake up earlier this time  ;D :nono: Just kidding.

    BTW it does not cost any more to show you car a second day on Sunday. And you get good parking Sunday. If you don't want it judged, just write no judging on the dash placard.

    thenuke1, the Friday Cruise to Malibu starts at 9:30am at Woodley Park. I know that close if it interests you..

    Fill up before please. They just are going out to Malibu from Woodley Park. Should be something between 40-60 mile each way. There are some gas stations near Dukes Resturant where they are having lunch around 1pm. One full tank should do it. I thought your car was completed recently. Have you shaken it down and driven it on a 40-50 distance yet?

    You can leave any time you want, but you MUST communicate that to the others in the cruise. Or they will think you broke down or had some trouble.

    about the show and shine ... so its 25 bucks to show it on saturday and sunday ????


    Both days or either day is $30 pre registration. Car show participants get a goodie bag, dash plaque, special Spring Fling gift.

    and just to get things clear is the Swap just one day or 2 ?


    Swap, manufactures midway and show is both days. But the used part swapper numbers go down a lot the second day just like any multi day swap meet. Best is to get there 7am to 8am on Saturday. The early bird gets the worm. The manufactures midway will all be there both days. There may be swappers that show up on Sunday only. I thought you lived like 5 minute drive from the show?

    the car has been recently completed about 90 - 95 % completed ... put it this way its legally drive-able lol i havent driven it that far though but im sure there shouldnt be any problem... when my dad first took it out he drove it on the freeway and tore the freeway up lol im sure there wont be any problems ... ive been driving it every weekends since august

    about leaving i ment like once you get to the malibu spot do we all head back together or leave whenever but i think i get it now

    and yes i live about 5 min away from woodley ...

    all in all i might not be able to go on the cruise due to work i could either request that weekend off or friday and saturday .... i might want to get the weekend off becuase my dad works monday through saturday and he wasnt able to go to the fall fling this year so i wanna make sure he sees atleast to show and shine on sunday ....

    They drive there together but they don't come back together. Leave whenever. Split up after lunch.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    **Saturday Group Parking for Pre-Registered Clubs/Webgroups**

    For Spring Fling XIII 2009 on SATURDAY this year we are offering to park clubs show vehicles together in reserved areas IF we get 10 or more CAR SHOW entry pre registrations for that club/group.

    This is a great oppurtunity for Cuda-Challenger.com members to meet and greet each other in person!!

    Those clubs/goups need to contact me ASAP at pwall5@aol.com or at least a month ahead so we can collect the pre registered names of the cars being parked together. There will a some limit of reserved club space available so starting getting you lists together now.

    Sunday we will still be parked by models, body styles, and classes.

    You can bring a small grill. But we do not make any extra space for that. Please don't smoke out your neighbors though. Please consider the others around you. There are even grilles out in the show field and about a 1/2 dozen or so in the picnic table area.

    All cars and swap meeter must remain parked between 10am and 1pm. So you cannot come into the park and pick up parts. BUT the show is very compact for the amount a swappers in it. So you can just walk over your parts to the parking lot and cell phone someone with your truck to pick them up.

    YOU CAN NOT just park your truck unattended and walk in and pick up parts. Illegally unattended vehicles will be ticketed and towed by the Parks Dept.

    Better solution, bring a wagon or a two wheeled dolly.

    If you are showing a car there is a better solution.... Just walk you parts over to your Challenger. Then when the traffic all dies down after 1pm load them in your truck. No hassle.

    Looking to buy a motor or a front clip or something??
