stilltwisted Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 ithink that the long beach show (jccs) has moved to irvine,, the date is oct-12-08 Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Correct. I don't know why the change of venue, but I guess Irvine is a nice place for it to be held. http://www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com/ This gives the best info for the show. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 The venue was moved because it's bigger & can accomidate more vehicles. Basically we outgrew Queen mary park! I believe they also have the Z car nats. there & theres lots of trees/shade & it's all grass. Quote Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Quote from "Koji" (he and his wife are the promoters of JCCS) he told us that JCCS just "got too big for Long Beach/Queen Mary"...so "gotta move it to bigger place".............................Irvine will be great guys, as Mark said there is much more room and lots more shade.....

hang_510 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 last year, datsuns were packed together like sardines and oddly seperated...Z's in the middle of ???, trucks here, wagons there, sedans...by the hondas :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

I have been there every year so far. The last two I was involved with parking and such. I will bring up your concerns at the meetings they will hold before the show. Terry & Koji are real big on vintage cars, Toyota being one of the biggest sponsers, I can see why the make more room for them. But newer imports not sure bout that one. But I will bring this stuff up at the first meeting. Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Also, if You remember, Derek (who caravanned with Us) waited outside for an hour on the speculation that He might have been allowed to come in. We even MADE ROOM FOR HIM in the truck area, but NOOOoooooo. So JCCS lot some revenue (He didn't care about a goodie bag or entering to show) and He lost out in hanging with Us. I hope that now JCCS will have lots of room, that late comers can enter the day of the show. Quote Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Mike, I doubt that they will have day of the show entries..(but ya never know)..and with the "bigger" venue, I would imagine that come early June they will start entry opening..(John, any idea when?) Also I think the reason for all of the Toyota fuss this past year had something to do it being the 50th anniv for Toyato or something like that........I almost agree with all of the "rants"..cept for this: (sorry guys..) but old as I am, ranting just aint worth it..gets ya nowhere, makes yer belly ache, ain't gonna change a dang thing, (like I said guys...sorry fer my editorial) peace to ya'll Quote Link to comment
