Huntington Beach Cruise-In 2014

[Sally Bean]

Hi everyone,

We've got the potential date for the 2014 Huntington Beach Cruise-In and it is Saturday, April 26th. If any one is aware of any major conflicts with this date (such as another big car show), please let me know as soon as possible at sally.bean@factoryfive.com.

No conflicts here. I'm all in! Thanks for posting, Sally!

Heck, we like it so much we're going back to HB this weekend!

Thanks,
Will

[David Hodgkins]

I have a big toothpick convention that day

[2FAST4U]

Penciled in. Hope to unveil my FFR 289 FIA to the world

[68GT500MAN]

Sally, I have checked all of the calendars of the organizations that I know of and see nothing as a conflict.

[David Hodgkins]

Sally, I have a call into the AHA folks to find out their date. Will update you when they respond.

:)

[68GT500MAN]

David, The AHA told me they are looking at the 12th or the 19th depending on when the Ford Council has Fabulous Fords planned.

Can't make it. Bikini wax day. Sorry.

Hi Salley,

Has the format change that Dave spoke about been confirmed or progress make? What I'm eluding to is the change from the pier to Main Street for the cars. Didn't make it this year but want to for sure in 2014! Thanks, WEK.

The cars were on main street this year, along with on the plaza and upper parking lot (see pic above).

Next year we are expanding the use of main street - we only used about 1/2 of it's capacity this year - and will still use the plaza for the FFR display but the parking lot will be eliminated entirely, unless there is a substantial increase in attendance.

I'm in . . . cleared any and all "conflicts" so I can be there again. Any conflict that could or would be in my way is of no concern. NOTHING is as important as HBCI '14 . . . not even ehansen007's Bikini waxing, which, by-the-way, had me rolling on the floor spewing milk out of my nose (luckily, I missed the keyboard this time).

Yeah, I laughed like heck, thought OUCHHHH!!!, then laughed again! Good stuff to start the day.

Regards,

Steve

If you're wearing a Speedo.....let me thank you in advance. Trying my hardest to finish my Roadster by then. Who and when do we call to save a space?

[68GT500MAN]

Sally will make a post closer to the date of the event, then you will be directed with a link to FFR's website to make the reservation.

I'm in as well - already got the date penciled onto my calendar.
Should be done with the build by then ... basically just have interior left to be done.
Unless my info is wrong - it'll likely be the 1st Anniversary car at Huntington (I'm #10 of 15)

Here's a couple current pic's ...

Well that's a bummer Bill. When is Bruce getting the chassis to you?

I'm going to shoot him a msg next month for status. I'm guessing this summer

[68GT500MAN]

Bill- It would still be great if you could stop by the show, check out the new builds, and say hi.
Doug

[2FAST4U]

I'll try Doug

[esff32]

I will be there. Looking forward to meeting you folks in person and not just as a username. :rolleyes:

[Mesa Mike]

We here in the Phoenix area are gearing up to make the show again this year. I will be working with the band (Nomads) again this year. Last year I was on the beach while they were on Main street. This year we will all be on Main Street. Should be a great show and we are looking forward to it.

[68GT500MAN]

Bump to the top. Only three weeks until one of the best events on the West coast!

Dave, me and the wife (Melinda) are coming down to your house again.

You're going to need a lot more toothpicks... :D

[68GT500MAN]

OK, another weekly bump to the top. Only TWO weeks until this great gathering. Time to get off the fence and sign up.

Last bump. David has attached the map of how to enter the show area, FFR said the truck is loaded and all is ready for a great weekend (even the weather).
See you next Saturday,
Doug

I am looking forward to the HB event this year - I am one year-plus into my build and am going to see how the Coupe folks finished some things. Here are some images and a video from HB Cruise-Ins from the past to get everyone looking here excited....

A BIG THANKS to Sally and the Factory Five Racing crew for another great event. I was there to gather as much info on the Coupe as I can, since I am a year-plus into my build.

So... I guess next year's event will be on 4/27?

Does that mean Factory Five is going to get sued again?

Nice writeup of the event in the June issue of Kit Car Builder magazine.

If you don't already get it, it's quite well done and is FREE.
