    Mopar Spring Fling, Van Nuys, CA April 5th and 6th

    This is a great show with lots of nice cars. I usually go in my Dakota R/T, but will be taking my Daytona this year even though it's not "pretty".

    They have a track day at Willow Springs on the 3rd and a Malibu cruise on the 4th leading up to the show.

    Anyone else going to this? Will be there in my Daytona even though it's not a "show" car. Can't say I've ever seen one there before, but never really paid much attention in the past.

    I'll be there-but the big event is Mopars at the Strip a week later-anniversary of the 426 Hemi. An event not to be missed as Tom Hoover(designer of the Hemi) and the original Ramchargers will be there. A special show category for the 426 Hemi cars, some cars that haven't been seen for years, etc. I'll be bringing something special and I have a nice original radio delete plate that I plan to have the Mopar legends sign.
    87 GLHS ,66 Hemi Coronet, 69 Road Runner, 70 Challenger-"Vanishing Point", 68 Road Runner "Petty",69 ZL1 Corvette,2016 Scat Pack Challenger,67 Corvette vintage racer,Cadillac ATS Turbo, 66 GTO road racer,67 911S, Ford V Ferrari Porsche 906 and Ferrari P3

    Saturday is a show-n-shine.
    Sunday is the judged day.
    If you want the car in the show, closing time is 10 am to get in.
    You can leave after 1 pm if you feel the need.

    Re: Mopar Spring Fling, Van Nuys, CA April 5th and 6th

    I used to really rally the SoCal TD/TM guys and twist some arms to go. Our largest turnout was 16 cars from our club and we won a the club participation trophy that year THen as the core group got older, had kids, bought houses etc, life got in the way of Spring Fling. I suppose I could try to rally a few tho like Forza I'll be under time constrainst to prep a car for MATS. I'll give it a try tho

    Club participation award? That must have been a while ago because I've been going to both Spring Fling and Fall Fling off and on since 2001 with a group of Dakota R/T guys and have never seen them give out a club participation award.

    Re: Mopar Spring Fling, Van Nuys, CA April 5th and 6th

    I brought the GLHS one year and got insulted by one of their judges, screw em.
    John Laing

    "The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
    -- Alexis de Tocqueville

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
    --Ayn Rand

    "To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
    -- Justice Antonin Scalia

    Different times now. Different judges.
    Go just for the fun and ignore them.

    I also have to say I was surprised when I took the GTC to Fall Fling a few years back, guy who was a Judge or A member of the club that host the event was very knowledgeable and interested in my car. Go and have a god time!
