mrbigtanker Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 All, I was thinking of doing a Canby style event here in California. I am tired of the JCCS bullshit in my opinion, the show has gone to commercial for me. With that said, I had a place in mind called Prado Park in Chino, CA. The VW guys do there camp out every year and then drive to Lake Havasu after. I really think this show would do well. Not looking at making money, I know that is said a lot, but truly NOOOOOOO. I have at least 2 financial partners that seem to like the show idea as well. I will be spending some time finding costs for the park to camp and what can we and can't we do. No 70.00 entry fee with a 3.00 plastic piece of shit plaque that is all political, just getting the right people as judges with no bias and have peoples choice awards as well. To me that is the true award. This is fin no way to steal from anyones show or ideas, I had the privilege to go to the last 2 CANBY shows and they were a lot of fun and just kick back like they should. If any one has ideas comments or cash[lol] let me know, again early stages and if the show is a go it will be when its cooler and around JCCS for the people that just needs to go. Sorry though no movie stars know me.lol Powerland has been the new CANBY as well as I went last year so I would not want to disrupt that show as well. Datsuns at Prado Bigtankers Big Show JDM cars at the Prado. I don't know something like that, I like the middle one.lol 14 1 Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 I like this idea as well. I always wanted to do Canby but the distance from here is a bit much. Have wanted to do Powerland as well but have not made that one yet. I have always wondered if it would be worth it to do a 2 day trip for a show. Guess I'll let you know after this weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment

Well good question as yes long trips should be worth it. All in all it would be a show but I thought to try that here, I would love to see the PNW guys as well come down and have a good time in the drier climate. 3 Quote Link to comment

jbirds510 Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 On behalf of powerland it in no way negativity effects our thing as long as its not the same weekend. That probably wouldnt matter much overall but it would just be a bummer for me and a few of the other long haulers. Im in to attend if shitboxes are still allowed on the lawn 😂. I attend the vw event there and I think the venue is excellent! Tons of room! 2 Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Well. the trip to Solvang was a bit rough. Usually, Missus Kelmo does the navigation as we go but she was unable to make this one. Also, what the french is up with only 55MPH when towing a trailer in Cali? (I got really good gas mileage though) I gotta admit, most of my issues were self inflicted and I think I would give it another shot. 4 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Been that way forever, but I doubt you would get pulled over for going 65. Over that, maybe, whereas in a car you can generally do 10 over and be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment

(I got really good gas mileage though) It's been that way as long as I can remember. I can't recall ever seeing anyone in a private car or truck getting pulled over for it, nor I have I ever hear of anyone getting a ticket doing 65 with a trailer. Over 65 might be another story, though.. (Matt: didn't see your post until I hit save. Great minds and all.....) Edited May 6, 2022 by Duncan 1 Quote Link to comment
