2016 JCCS-Long Beach 9/24

[RCMike]

FYI, if it is your first time, plan to be there around 6ish if you want to get in at some kind of reasonable wait. otherwise, you will be waiting behind 400 cars to have your ticket checked and walked in.. No entry for show cars after they close the gate, which must be closed before the fire inspectors will open the show. The city of Long Beach considers this park to be part of the convention center..

Thanks for the info. Let's see if i make it in time. Have a commitment early in the morning. Either way i'll see you there.

I will be parked in the parking lot with the other people who did not register in time. There are 400 parking places for 450 cars in the show.. Not going to get in. But the parking lot is a pretty cool show on it's own..

I will be in my Skyline if you come..

Well that's pretty awesome. Is there a time I should be there to park in the parking lot?

Thanks for the pics Alvin, and it was nice meeting all of you at the show.

I happened to be working in Long Beach on the day of the show and really thought I wasn't going to be able to make it. I ended up with just enough free time to run over there for a little over an hour, which wasn't nearly long enough. I did get a few shots of some roadsters, though.

And I believe this reflection in Alvin's car is of BRE engineer John Knepp signing autographs:

I really wish I had more time to spend at JCCS, as I'm sure I would have met some of the people from this forum.

Great pics - thanks!

Thanks for the pics Alvin.... Here's the best I could get of all the Roadsters in one shot. A special shout out to John Baker for saving my Saturday by having a trunk key that worked on my car. Pushing your car into a show because the keys are in the trunk is so not cool

Thanks for the shout-out Alvin. Got 3rd place. Not bad for a pretty much unrestored car. All the roadsters there were outstanding examples and it was cool to see the JNC guys had your car in their booth this year. Good thing I didn't bring my roadster as it would have probably reflected poorly with this group! I thought I overheard someone at the end of the show saying that a guy in a 510 backed into a roadster somehow? Hopefully I heard wrong.
