I don't think you have to be sold on whether to attend or not. The glowing testimonials of last years attendants should be good enough!
I just registered my roadster and truck (I'll need a second driver).
If your coming, I'll see you there! If not, you'll hear how you missed out.
If you consider yourself a member of our informal SoCalRoc (then you are a member), please fill that out on the registration form.
I went through the paypal method and it's pretty clear, but be sure to follow the instructions to get registered correctly.

In 1980’s Japan, car enthusiasts often used the Hana-fuda images, Japanese symbols (Kanji), and terms from the World War II era (like “Kami-kaze� and the “Rising Sun�) to symbolize speed and strength.

"It’s already been 46 years since the very first Japanese vehicle was ported with a pounding heart in California. Who could have imagined what the remarkable popularity of Japanese cars would be? The continuation of persevering efforts and skills of the Japanese car manufacturers has made this significant improvement - strong will and a priority for “manufacturing high-quality automobiles that satisfy people�. And so, the popularity of Japanese classics has grown. The Japanese Classic Car Show is a safe and fun, family oriented event on a sparkling green grass park, in front of the ocean & the mother ship Queen Mary. It is not only about cars, it is about the Japanese culture and respect for old sprits. Bring the kids and enjoy Southern California’s blue skies and peaceful ocean breezes while viewing some of the finest Japanese Classics in America."
