Wild West National Concord

Any of you folks plan on attending the MCA national show in Concord? Want to try and group the K's?

My kar is entered, though a recent family related medical situation may not allow me to enter. We'll see...but if I do I'd love to get our Kar's together. Kevin

I'll be there!

dstnly_old · June 8, 2007 at 7:31 AM

I'll be there, as will a couple others I know.

Unfortunately, MCA offers two options for parking cars - first come, first served or by class. This show is being done by the former, so unless we all arrive together, we'll be scattered around the venue. What WOULD be cool is to get all the Ks photographed together with one of the P51s that will be there just for this purpose.

BTW - I'm on the show committee, so this isn't rumor or speculation.

If you're on the committee perhaps you could lobby for a half-dozen spots grouped together in the lot! I'll be driving down on Thursday. Perhaps we coordinate by PM with the other K cars.

MCA has somewhat strict guidelines on parking of show cars.

The best thing to do would be to try and coordinate a group arrival. You probably won't get everyone to show up at the same time, but that would be the best chance of parking together. Even then, it might not be guaranteed due to the layout of the show field.

Will be attending

There were 290+ cars that attended the show! There were at least 7 legitimate K codes. Terrific show!

I think yours was the one I was hoping to get engine bay pictures of. Isn't your car a January '65 San Jose car?

SixT5HiPo · June 26, 2007 at 9:30 AM

Nice looking cars...It's interesting there are so many HiPo converts and no coupes in the pictures.

round2K_old · June 26, 2007 at 10:51 AM

That's California.

LuvKcodes_old · June 26, 2007 at 2:54 PM

Nice pics, thanks!

Pretty darn close - December 28th, '64 San Jose/Milpitas car.

Deryl - we'll have to get together and compare details at some point; my car was two days behind yours in production.

Sounds good!

BTW - There were 297 registered cars and 30 no-shows, plus two vendors who didn't show up.

Dave,

You missed one in your count & photos. There was a Rangoon Red/black convert top/GT near the far side of the venue. It was a trailered concourse car that took a silver (I was on that one's judging team). That makes 8 - count 'em EIGHT!! - legit K's at one show. WOW!
