Watsonville Airshow 2014

[Rich]

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.

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.

Bumping this invitation and sharing recent details, mostly about show arrival and departure times for the Oct. 11 event.

Arrival: Cars can enter from 7:30-9:30AM and it's not very strict. If somebody needs to arrive after 9:30AM then Bill will get you in. There is a pancake breakfast there at 8AM, cost $8.

Grouping the NCDMC cars: We can have the cars together as long as we know how many spots to arrange for in advance. That may help anybody who needs extra time getting there that morning.

The car show starts around 10AM and the airshow starts at 11:00 or 11:30AM.

Departure time: The show runs "all day" which to me means you can leave when you like.

PM me if you are having trouble getting hold of the entry form from their website.

Bruce

As far as I know we're at 3 so far, including me.

Did I mention the tethered hot air balloon and helicopter rides available on Sat. AM for those who want some aerial photo action?

Am looking forward to seeing the 2 P-51 Mustangs they say will be at the show. And the NCDMC crew and cars, of course.

Everybody remember that your Car Show entry fee covers 2 adult admissions to the airshow - next to our cars - ($40 value) plus a T-shirt and goodie bag.
