I know we'll probably be chatting this up starting in January, but I just came across a news blurb that the Wally Parks Museum is hosting a big Cobra/Shelby Reunion the same weekend, including road racing at Pomona. Sounds like an interesting road trip / diversion for Saturday.

Who needs to cruise the beach! Spend the day in Pomona and even find a place to eat out there!!!!!!

I am so in! I will get the time off secured as soon as I can....Amber too! We may have to bring both cars to this one!

Can we get some track time?

I'm planning to be there this year. If there's track time, I will do ANYTHING POSSIBLE to be there. I got the autocrossing bug bad since I tried it a few times. I might not put the car in the actual show, but will be there for all the festivities.

WOW! $699 gets you an all access pass that's also good for 3 track days. That's a BARGAIN!

Whats the distance from Knotts to Pomona?

SAC69 · « **Reply #7 on:** January, 03, 2012, 03:13:43 PM »

A check on google maps shows Pomona is NE Buena Bark by approx 29 miles. It sounds like a great event.

I'm thinking 36 to the 24 then the 34.

pnandy · « **Reply #11 on:** January, 04, 2012, 07:35:46 PM »

I guess the 91 to the 57 would be ok wouldnt save much time tho have to figure out how popular Pomona event would be line usually starts on freeway off ramp then slowly up a hill usually see a couple cars off to the side that overheat.... Not saying mine would not sure I wanna test tho. Another proposed route beach to lambert past Boyd coddington's old shop to harbor to the 60 to 57 to the 10

GrabberOrange69 · « **Reply #12 on:** January, 04, 2012, 08:59:25 PM »

I'll miss the Bellmount Brewery thing if it's a nogo - really enjoyed that one over the years.

KBMWRS · « **Reply #13 on:** January, 05, 2012, 06:59:19 AM »

Well I for one think this is a great idea.

As for the Belmont Brewery thing...we need to change it up a bit so this would do it.

So no BB dinner, just the meet up at Pomona and wing it.

The Outback Friday night is still on though.

KBMWRS · « **Reply #14 on:** January, 05, 2012, 02:19:26 PM »

I just made my reservations at Courtyard/Marriott Buena Park (our usual place). AAA $104
Staying Fri - Mon (usual)
Friday night meet-up at Outback
Sat - Pomona
Sun - show/dinner
Mon - go home

abrahamfh · « **Reply #15 on:** January, 05, 2012, 03:11:27 PM »

I just made a reservation at my apartment. LoL

If anyone wants to stop for a breather and hangout I'm off the 5 in Valencia.

KBMWRS · « **Reply #16 on:** January, 11, 2012, 07:37:50 PM »

Got the Knotts registration today.
sending it tomorrow.

I love the drive down and the dinner at Outback friday night, meeting up with all you guys.

Outlawboss · « **Reply #17 on:** January, 13, 2012, 08:26:56 PM »

Just looking at the price to actually get on the track. I might have missed something but it looks like the $699 one is the only way to get actual track time? Even still, for the opportunity to have track time with other classics like ours...I might be up for that. Not that I don't mind racing Miatas and WRXs either...but this is cooler.

Teebone · « **Reply #18 on:** January, 14, 2012, 03:30:03 AM »

What ever the plans are..count us in

FordDude · « **Reply #19 on:** January, 14, 2012, 12:06:10 PM »

Been out of town this week, came home to find the Knott's registration form in my pile of mail. Going to be a little different for me as well this year. Going to the show solo this year, Dad is now living in an assisted care facility. Was going to bring the SWMBO to the BB, but if that has changed I am not sure. But definitely looking forward to Friday night at the Outback.

Where: Fairplex at Pomona, 1101 West McKinley Ave, Pomona
Time: no set time.......may join up at Courtyard in the morning for a cruise up there.

Saturday night:
Well we'll change it up this year.
Since the Pomona event will be quite taxing I took a suggestion (SacBill) that we just 'hang-out' at a ground floor room at Marriott Courtyard and order up some pizza or the like when we get back.
Or hook-up with others and go out to dinner on your own. It's your choice.

Sunday 22Apr: 'Those Who Stayed Over Dinner'
Where: Knotts Hotel, Amber Waves Restaurant
Time: 6:00PM
Reservation under: Stangfix
Contact: Bill Fuller (SacBill) with PM to RSVP
Amber Waves is no longer doing the buffet on Sunday night, so you will have to order off the menu....average price is $10-$15.

That's about it. It should be a great week-end as uaual. See you all there.

Thanks for posting the weekend's details, Mike! Can anyone local to Knotts suggest a kick-@ss pizzeria that does delivery...so we don't have to be calling up Dominos?

KBMWRS · « **Reply #22 on:** January, 16, 2012, 07:43:26 PM »

Well there is always take-out from Portillos.
They have sandwiches & salads.

pnandy · « **Reply #23 on:** January, 16, 2012, 08:43:20 PM »

Tony's in Whittier lol 15 mins away

GrabberOrange69 · « **Reply #24 on:** January, 16, 2012, 08:52:31 PM »

So...is anybody planning on showing their car at the Pomona show-n-shine on Saturday, or just attending? I think I'm going to put my car in the Saturday show-n-shine.

Is there a "lanai" to hang out on at the hotel for the Saturday night get together? That'd be a lot of dudes in one room...
