22nd Annual Ripon EV Show-10/6/12

[mac88chp]

The 22nd Annual Menlo Park/Ripon Police Emergency Vehicle Show and Law Enforcement Recruitment Fair will take place on Saturday, October 6th from 8am to 3pm at the Community Center in Ripon, CA. This event features some of the finest police and emergency vehicles and equipment in the West and is one of the major national shows of this type. There will be a cruise on Friday evening, October 5th for the early arrivals in addition to an awesome Code 3 parade thru the heart of Ripon at 1pm on Saturday.

There are show classes for in-service, restored, replica and daily driven emergency vehicles of all types including law enforcement, fire and medical, military, security and tow trucks. Depending on availability, police/fire/medical helicopters are also frequent visitors to the day's events. Lots and lots to see and watch in action...better yet, BRING a vehicle to enter in the show and really enjoy the whole experience! :cool:

See the show website below for entry form and more information:

While not this year, one of these years I'm going make Ripon with an SSP in tow. Will need to make a week trip out of it.

I hear you Mike, maybe one year we can caravan and take a couple of east coast cars out there to share the fun.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the invite Michael.

Woo! Made it to Ripon!
Had a couple close calls with Californian drivers on the way down, and I must say, 70-80 up the mountain passes was fun :D
John looks to be already having a blast :)

Today was a good day!! Definitely was fun :D

Not much to say about myself, other than I met Michael, our CV didn't place(but definitely received a lot of looks), and I bought a correct light bar for my Reno restoration!

John received 2nd place in the SSP category, and Michael received 3rd place!

After the show John and Michael drove their marked CHP's to the Stockton Area Office for a photo shoot being escorted by the new CHP Interceptor SUV!
Not a single 4 eye mustang was at the show this year. Next year we'll bring either the EVOC or 8337.

Spectacular Mad Max recreation. This thing was exact. One of the most exact recreations other than the actual movie car. The supercharger was exact and could even be turned on by a switch just like in the movie

Kudos to Michael, John and Sam for a great showing this year.

Maybe we can all have our 85's ready to pounce on next year's show? :)

[Mustang Kid]

:D

Yes! How many are on the west coast?

Have Rich, you, me, my dad, a couple 86's?

If I don't bring my CHP next year, I'll probably have my Reno PD Gran Fury.

[John10608]

Nice pictures Sam ! That was a good time at the show !
Lots of fun.

I think one of the best for me was driving my mustang on hwy 99 to the Stockton office from the show.
Driving it on the same hwy I used to patrol on duty in a mustang, and driving it into the same office I worked out of. It brought back some great memories.
What are the chances that would have ever happened in this car ?

Then the last photos the photographer took were in the same back parking lot I took my last pictures of the mustang I used to drive right before I retired. But now in the mustang I own

It was special for me. Really a special day.

Had a great time with Mike and everyone there. Lots of fun.
Good seeing you guys there as well.

Thanks !

[28HopUp]

Sam, thanks for taking/posting so many pictures. It looks like a great event, and one that I WILL go to with a SSP some day. :)

[mac88chp]

We all had a great time, esp. memorable was blasting up Hwy. 99 uncovered to Stockton CHP with escort. What a sight that must have been to more than a few motorists. John-your car looked fantastic, congrats on your award!

Michael, Thank you again for taking the time to come up the plan to enter my ADAM- 12 Car that was stuck on the trailer due to last minute electrical problems entered into the show. You and your wife are wonderfull people. This is our seventh year attending the Ripon event and 2012 was the first time the ADAM-12 car came out of my shop and into the public. My wife and myself had a wonderfull time and got to meet John with his Mustang along with Robert Reed. We are looking forward to bringing out the 82 Mustang Unit 0204 to the Morro Bay Show in April 2013. Once again Thank you.

Eric and Sheryl.

[05pwrstrk]

Hello everyone. I made it to the show but I didn't bring my 89 NHP. The main reason was because I couldn't drive it. I could have put it on my trailer.... but really what fun would that be? I think the clutch is going by the way side because it is hard to get the tranny into 1st and reverse. Also the condition it is in is far from what I saw all of yours looking like. I know I know people like to see the stages of a restoration. I promise I'll bring it next year. So for the people that did see me I was the guy lurking around right before you all took off for the Saturday afternoon cruise. I saw mac88chp get his car jumped by the Air Force SSP. I took some pics but they all are very similar to Mustangkids pics. Anyways, all the SSP's looked great. I was surprised to see the 90 NHP sitting there. What a beautiful car. I took multiple pics of the radio gear inside that car. I need to begin collecting radio stuff for my NHP. Good showing by the Mustangs!!!

[John10608]

You should have come over and said hello !
I was walking around more than sitting at my car lol
Too many nice cars to look at.

Yes Mike forgot to remove the trunk light bulb in his car. There were a LOT of really nice cars there. Great people as well. Just a lot of fun !

Nice day also. Perfect temperature. Can't wait for next year !
Mike has some great photos ! I don't take any any more lolol Just wait for his to be posted and emailed to me lololol He does a great job !! lol

I know I was admiring the SSP's and didn't realize you were all going to take off. I didn't want to be "that guy" bugging people when they were trying to get ready to cruise. Your car is beautiful. Who did your paint? Do you have any before and after pics of it?

We lucked out with the weather. Nice and cool(compared to what it could have been).

[mac88chp]

Finally downloaded this gem off my cellphone, it's John10608 and I on our jaunt up Hwy 99 enroute to the Stockton office. Was taken from the CHP Explorer that was following us.
