Hey! Where's everybody going?!

The PRE HB CRUISE AND BBQ!!! Lesa and I cordially invite you to hang out, cruise PCH and BBQ at our place Friday, April 28th as we start off the 10th annual 2017 Huntington Beach Cruise-In weekend!

The doors will be open all day for folks coming in from out of town. Park your trailer on our safe street and don't worry about it for the weekend! Please indicate need in reply, space is limited to 4, possibly 5 trailers. Please be sure to mention status (maybe, definitely) when you indicate you need trailer parking.

If you want to bring food or refreshments, send me a PM! Many FFR buddies ask me "What can we bring?" And you guys know me, I usually answer "Hey buddy, whatever you want is fine!" Well, in consultation with management ;) I'm asking those folks to PM me for more info.

The cruise starts at 3pm SHARP! We will cruise to Hilborne this year! If you don't arrive in time for the cruise, no worries! Just hang at my place until we get back.

The grill is always open, but we kick it up a notch after the cruise, usually around 6pm:

[HB_Ryan]

Im in David (1)

[AZPete]

Peter Hildt - (1) 10-years/ 2 builds/1st time to HB show. Driving my 818C from Scottsdale so I don't need no stinkin' trailer!

Edit: David, I'll likely arrive after the cruise leaves but look forward to meeting you, Lesa, and others.
My comment above is cocky for a car with only 900 miles on the odometer! I respect trailers and hopefully will appease the breakdown goblins by packing tools, a tow strap and a rabbit's foot.

[rmiller64]

Hi Dave & Lesa,

I'll be heading down from WA this year and bringing 8442 in enclosed trailer. I'd like to park trailer at your place if possible. I'll have 2 brothers with me so total of 3 for the BBQ. Looking for an extra right seat to accommodate one of the brothers from anyone going on the cruise

[rwcaudill]

Hi David,
This is Randy Caudill and I'll be bringing my '33 hot rod in a trailer. If possible I'd like to park the trailer on your street. I'll be bringing my mom, wife, and 2 girls for a grand total of 5 for the BBQ.

[JCLipka]

Wouldn't miss it! See you there Dave..

[Al_C]

8650 is still a work in progress, so it won't be attending. But Nancy and I will. Looking forward to it, Dave! Al Cocconi

[John Tongish]

Hi Lesa and David,

I plan to join the group at 3PM with my Yellow One for the cruise to Hilborne and learn all about fuel injection. Victoria will pass as she is no longer interested in fuel injection after my operation (just kidding, I think).
So please add us to your list of bbq attendees. We promise not to go skinny dipping.

John

[Jazzman]

Hello David and Lesa -

"FlipTop" will still be languising in "Da Bat Cave", but Diane and I will be there. Thank you for the invitation. We will look forward to it!

Kevin

[Big Blocker]

Hey Dave . . .

The Vegas Boys will be attending again this year
Put Mike and Pete down on the list please. (2)

Doc

[ehansen007]

I'll be there! Would you like the cruise to leave from your house? Been trying to get you by phone with no luck to talk HB. Call me back.

[Garry Bopp]

Hi, David,

I won't be able to attend this year (family wedding same weekend) but I sure enjoyed it last year. Thanks, again, for your hospitality in holding this BBQ every year!

Garry

[7tvette]

Hi David & Lesa,

Really looking forward to it. Would appreciate a trailer spot.

Troy & Tara Rieder

[ehansen007]

For those interested in the Hilborn Tour on Friday, I will be picking up the group at Dave's house at 3pm Sharp! The Hilborn tour starts at 4pm. Tour will be about an hour and we'll head back to Daves at 5pm.

Here's the route on the way down. With Friday traffic we'll work on taking the shortest route.

As for the way back, well...weather permitting this should give us a nice cruise back down the coast against traffic and we'll also stop off at Top of the World if we have time.

[CNC_Geek]

Count on 2 more. Myself, Doug Laursen and my son Johnathan. We can be there before 3:00pm for the cruise. 818TT

Hi, David! You might not be aware that I bought back #6240, so I will be bringing it to the HB show for the first time in finished form. I just cleared my Friday schedule, so I'd like to join your BBQ as well. Wife will be out of town, so it's just me...

Mark

[CRZN 427]

Dave,

I'll be there this year (missed the last one, dang, we were on a cruise). My wife is coming this year, and I believe that she will come to the BBQ as well (she is rehearsing lines for her next performance, a one woman play, and wants some time alone).

Thanks for the generosity and the invite.

Regards, Rick.

[ehansen007]

In!

Dave,

My wife. Sharyn, is fairly well locally known for her pies. She will make up a couple for Friday night,...thinking Carmel Apple and Blueberry.

Regards, Rick.

That's awesome Rick, Thanks!

I have secured parking permits for this weekend to allow four trailers to sit on the street unattached. So far three (3) are spoken for. Troy (7tvette) Rieder, Rick Miller and Randy Caudill have those reserved.

There is plenty of parking on my street for the party, whether you arrive with a full rig or in your FFR.

:)

[ehansen007]

A caramel apple pie??? Say what? That sounds like heaven! This year just keeps getting better and better. I'm actually driving my FFR car to the famous BBQ for the first time too.

[Straversi]

Hi Dave,
My wife took a spill today and tore her hamstring ligament. Probably surgery tomorrow so we won't be making the BBQ.

Sorry to bail out at the last minute

-Steve

[David Hodgkins]

Steve! Sorry about that; Hope your wife recovers soon!

:)

[MichaelW]

I'm going to ask my wife if I can go!

[Al_C]

David and Lesa, Thanks for opening up your home and hosting a wonderful BBQ! Nancy and I had a great time!

[David Hodgkins]

Al, it was GREAT having you over!

We had visitors from all over the US and from Canada too! A very, very cool turnout.

I have a few pics from before the cruise:


Believe it or not, these two cars are NOT the same color!

David and Lesa,

Thanks for the great BBQ, Sharyn and I had a wonderful time.

Regards, Rick.

[ehansen007]

Fantastic BBQ again! Well done.

[David Hodgkins]

Lesa wanted me to give a shout out to all those who brought an appetizer or dessert. Thank You!

Good party this year. Seemed a little low on attendance but no worries. The HilbornTour was a BIG succes (Thanks Hansen!) and all the folks coming in from outside the state (and country) made for a very interesting and fun crowd.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING TO THE SHIN-DIG!

:)

PS if you have any pics, post them! :)

[ehansen007]

Deke, was that your wife that was taking all the photos of the Hilborn tour? I think there was some good shots there. Definitely some greats stories.


Here's Stack holding a Stack Injection intake.

Thank you Dave and Lesa for feeding the Miller Brother's from Washington State after the 23hr drive. Appreciate the space to park the trailer at your place.
