Brad, you going to bring your 'Bird?

How many out there are planning on going? I'm making plans to be there with my Squire. Just gotta figure out where to park my trailer and truck during the show. Anyone know of any spots available close to the show?

blupinto · « **Reply #3 on:** January 29, 2012, 09:22:17 PM »

I plan to be there. I know there's a place to park trucks and trailers close by but I'm not sure just where.

turbopinto72 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 29, 2012, 09:37:35 PM »

You can park a truck and trailer at the Sears parking lot.

RSM · « **Reply #5 on:** January 29, 2012, 10:51:59 PM »

I've never been there so I have no idea where the Sears is at lol. How far of a walking distance are we talking? And the car will probably not be street legal so I would have to be close enough to sneak in without getting caught by California's finest

Sweet...that should be easy then!!

Questions: Are we still meeting Sunday morning at Carrows? Also, what about bag stuffing? There was no interest in it last year, and I have fun doing it.

DynoDon · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2012, 10:38:51 PM »

I plan on being ther, but not with the Pinto - either my '29 Roadster Pick up or the wifes 56 T Bird.

Fred Morgan · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2012, 12:42:26 PM »

FREE parts deliver to Knotts if anyone in need !!!! Fred

pintogirl · « **Reply #11 on:** February 18, 2012, 05:17:57 PM »

Well, I sent off my registration form, finally! LOL Almost forgot to do it. So excited about going that I figured I was already registered! LOL I also reserved my room at the Knott's Hotel.

We have purchased the parts for Nellie, but have yet to put them on her. She is still in the garage awaiting her parts. LOL I think Bob plans on doing it this week sometime. No matter what though, she will be done in time to go.

blupinto · « **Reply #12 on:** February 19, 2012, 01:43:25 PM »

I'm still trying to devise a sceme to carnap Nellie but my dilemma is how the heck can I drive two cars home!?! lol

Oh yeah... mine's sent in! Also my Temecula Rod Run one is sent in. YEEE HAAAAAA! Let the show season begin!

pintodan460 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2012, 11:33:47 PM »

My conformation came today, so now i just need to plan , find gas money and decide how much time to take off work. Would be cool to see more Pintos coming. gettie up.

pintogirl · « **Reply #14 on:** March 09, 2012, 07:02:09 PM »

Mine came the other day!! Getting excited. We got the master cylinder and valve cover gasket changed and now just need to do a good cleaning and wax. Then a few days before the show we will do it again!

pintodan460 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:10:06 PM »

Someone usually makes a head count for breakfast at Carrows which is about 3 blocks from knotts on Beach blvd. If you think you'll be coming even to support the Pinto without your ride. Let the forum know. We have good time. Even looking at 800 mustangs with mod. motors. Wow.

I would like to, but with gas prices sky-high, I'd have to spend the night up there to do it.

Ill be there!
Ok, we are all set for Carrows in the morning. We can figure out where to meet after the day of. There are a lot of nice places so it iwll depend on who wants do go.
On Sunday we should all try to get to the restaurant by 7:00. It takes about 1 hour to get through breakfast and the other things we do at breakfast.

Sunday: 7:00 am meet at Carrows for breakfast and fun and games/give aways.
8:30 am caravan to the show.
3:00 pm show is over.
3:30-45 Any ideas?
Here is a link for the mapquest map to where Carrows is.

Carrows
8650 Beach Boulevard

Magnolia and Adams in Huntington Beach (Adams Doughnuts) start time is 5am (in before 6 typicaly gets parking) and goes till 8. this typically is the issue for most. email me direct if there are any questions.

Hey, has anybody ever been in a position where they had to leave the show early? I am in such a position and need to find out if it's possible to do...

pintodan460 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 10, 2012, 10:42:09 AM »

Wait till about 10:30 then go to the operations tent and tell them a emergency came and need to leave, they will give you a couple people to escort your car out the nearest exit. I've never done it myself but, have seen it work that way. Don't think it's going to be a big deal. They just need to set a rule so everyone doesn't start leaving after lunch and get someone hit, California land of lawsuits. Ha Ha. see you there.

It shall be done! And as an aside, I'm looking forward to seeing that blue monster of yours again. It's been missed this last few years...
