Less than a week away!,

The annual "Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show" is now open for entries. The Car entry fee is only $35 per car.
I thought it would be great if we can get a group, maybe 10 or 12, of our 914 together to exhibit as a group. In the past, groups have been allowed a little bit earlier entry for set up, allowed to display a banner or a 10x10 tent, and some goodie bag stuff.

UPDATE:

Let’s meet at 5:30 am, southeast parking lot of The Shoppes at Chino a hills, corner of Shoppes Drive and Boys Republic Drive. If you have trailer, you can enter show with it and drop car at our site.
I will be on What’s App that morning or text me at 760-625-6488.

Load in for the show begins at 6am. so I would ask that everyone be at that lot by 5:30!

Sign me up!

Sounds fun, strong maybe here!

Sounds like a cool event for a good cause. Let me see if anyone is planning to attend from the Bay Area/North Bay. Maybe we could caravan down?

Add me to the list please

O

I should also be able to attend.

I also would like to join in on this one!! Paul

On my watch list.

Tempting but I would trailer the car over from the PHX area. Did not enjoy driving in the LA area last time I was there for a 000 event in downtown LA. Driving a manual in that traffic, even on a Saturday was NOT enjoyable.
A friend of mine here has helped with the planning of that event for years and tried to get a group from here to go.

Its well short of LA. you would come in on I-10, take 60 through Riverside, South on 71 and you are there.

@SKL1 - I totally agree. I have taken my car down to LA a few times and I absolutely hate LA traffic. I leave my home around 0200 and get there typically just before 0800. I stay the night at some mid-level motel and hit the road home around 0500 to get out of LA before it gets stupid- which it always does.

I was born and raised here 72 years ago, and it seems that it's stupid here all the time.

Just take I5 down from Northern Cal and use the 210 to bypass LA. LA is always a mess.

The coordinator for the McQueen car show has been out all week. trying to get some more details but, will get back to you all next week.

Sounds good .

RF- if you're talking to them ask if there would be a safe place to park an enclosed trailer during the event. No way I would drive it over from PHX.

Years ago this happened at the 'Friends of Steve McQueen car show...1st place in 'Cool Style
Freeman Thomas (co-founder of R-gruppe) was one of the judges that year. Trophies are very unique, as these are constructed by the students in the campus industrial shops

@Maltese Falcon

Marty,

So, do you think that you will be going, and do you still have your bitchen BK turbo 914-6?

Best Bob B

Hi Bob @burton73 ¡
No....will not be attending this year/ Yes black flat-fan car in our Family stable ! If you're still at ###....83 I'll give you a shout over the weekend

I should be able to make it as well - it's a great show

I'd be happy to bring blabby from south bay to attend.

Freeman owns a 914-6 with a 3.2. Really great guy, and the RGruppe admits 914s into its membership.

Good to know ¡ I did have some conversations with co-founder (late) Cris Huergas about bringing this car to a Rose Bowl meet up once>> but had previous plans and couldn't make it

Spoke with my friend who has worked with "The friends of Steve McQueen" for years yesterday, as he showed his RUF at the Arizona Concours, and he said if we had a group of 4 or more cars he could create a class for the show, and the kids at the Republic, who make the trophies, would make one for a 914 group...
Still not sure I'll make it myself, but I could connect any "point" person who is going to get this to happen.

God, I wished I lived in California. So many cool get togethers. Love it. Mark

Where we at with this , great event ! 4 cars lets go !!

This is exciting, and I'm still in. In my area, I know of at least 5-6 more - let's do it!

Hey Everyone. get registered now for the show! Link here below. On the registration form, first line is name of club. For us to be displayed together and possibly create our own class, you need to put "914 World" in this line.

Done !!

Done...I'm registered

Taking my Blue 914-6 GT Conversion

Done.. I’m also registered. I will bring my blue 3.6 914. Can’t have enough blue cars. I need to put some miles on this motor.

I'm in and just registered, looking forward to it!

Okay I’m registered. Adding one more blue 914 to the party!
Let’s drive Paul

Excited to see you guys entered already! I am bringing a 10x10 shelter. someone asked about transport trailer parking and yes, there is room.

Bump. 8 weeks until showtime.

Awesome! Looking forward to this. Are you planning a meetup before the drive in??
Drive it Paul

I'm regestered and joing the party!

when registering, does a passenger have to register too as a spectator ?

Registered, bringing bob164 from Seal Beach

UPDATE: I am making sure we have a group area set aside for us but it would still be best if we meet up and drive in together. since load in begins at 6am, we should meet 5:45, and head over at 6am. We will find a good location to meet.

someone asked about a passenger, and I believe they have to pay the extra spectator charge of $10.

Who has registered so far? Please sound off if you have registered with the show and will be parking with us as a group.

So.O.C914er = Paul Heckman is registered and looking forward to this!
Drive it Paul

Rick Ralston - gonzo54 is registered, coming solo and parking with the 914 group

Dang I'm out, my teener tried to catch fire.. it's at the shop...

Iam registered , also one other member . So two 914s

Bump! Get registered. We are a month away!

I am registered.

How many 914's / group members do we have going? Happy to design something for those of us who will be there.

Not bringing a car but will be coming for the banquet on Friday night with a friend from Scottsdale and will be staying for the show on Saturday, so look forward to seeing all the cars.
There will be a special "celebration" as it is the first show since the passing of Chad McQueen.
