    Watsonville Airshow 2014

    During the registration period for the Cops 'n' Rodders show we got a personal invitation to have NCDMC'ers participate in the 2014 Watsonville Air Show. Still in the planning stages, the airport manager hopes to theme it around Back to the Future.

    It's not for the upcoming August show, it's for the one in August, 2014, the show's 50th Anniversary. With the usual warbirds, demo flying and fun.

    No need to reply - it's tentative, we don't know how many cars they want, it's over a year away and he knows how to reach us. Plenty of time to polish your Flux Capacitors, gang.

    As requested, here is an update. New dates for this airshow, no longer in August.

    At Bruce's suggestion I checked with our contact there who told me the show will be on Sat. and Sun., October 11 and 12, 2014.

    The theme is going to change a bit - he still wants DeLoreans there.

    More as things develop.

    Saturday, Oct. 11: Car Show at the Watsonville Fly-In

    Attention NCDMC-ers:

    D's on the taxiway in Watsonville this October!!

    Updates on this event per a phone call with the show organizer today:

    1. While the Watsonville Fly-In is a 2-day affair the Car Show that goes with it is held on the first day, Sat., Oct. 11.
    2. The BTTF show theme has been dropped - we go in as regular entries. This is non-judged and all entries are welcome.
    3. It will be their 50th Anniversary bash and they'd love to have a group of D's on hand
    4. $50 Car Show entry fee includes 2 adult admissions, T-shirt, raffle tix and goodie bag.
    5. Entertainment plus lots of food for sale and, of course, there'll be an airshow above us!!

    I haven't got a bead on the exact hours but plan on all-day and plan on seeing some great hardware on the ground and in the air.

    10 entry forms are in the mail to me. Start clearing your calendars. I'll request a show of hands and send them out sometime in June. Our friends without D's are welcome to join with their favorite other car, as usual!

    Registration closes in early Sept. or after 200 cars sign up, whichever is first.

    Registration Open Now - Watsonville Fly-in, Airshow & Car Show, Sat. Oct. 11, 2014

    Update:
    The entry forms are now online for this event. Let's show some stainless and some gullwings at a carshow-airshow!

    Those who want to show their car at the Carshow at the Watsonville Fly-in and Airshow can download and print an entry form and send it in to the show organizer with the entry fee.

    Please also post here if you register. We might organize something drive-wise depending on who's coming in from which area. Keep in mind that we may need to be on the tarmac early - arriving as a group's always a good idea, too. Details later.


    I'm planning to attend. Note that the entry form says it's for cars 1976 and older - we will be an exception.

    Bruce, there's plenty of room for you to bring Doc along! He'll love the planes there.

    Details below are still accurate.
