Ripon 2014
 

Hello to all... CHP #8336 will be attending this year along with the new complete restoration of CHP SMPV #5300 !!

Has there been a attendance count started for the 2014 year Ripon Car Show? My registration is submitted and will be there saturday morning along with Rich.

We'll be heading over to Ripon early tomorrow afternoon for the Friday evening festivities. At the CHP show last week John's S. T. & B. plus Eric G. all confirmed to me they'll be there. I surmised that John P. is a strong maybe. Even though Harold T. and Jack G. won't be making it, there will be a very strong showing of SSPs. I've heard that as of last night there were 84 pre-registered entries so another record breaking attendance is now within reach.

Bring your sunscreen and plenty of water as 95 degrees and abundant sunshine is forecast for both Friday and Saturday.

Safe travels to all and see you there! :cool:

Good luck Michael. Enjoy the show and as always we look forward to the pictures.:thumbsup:

UPDATE: new record 103 vehicles pre-registered as of this evening. :2thumbs:

Wow that will be a lot of cars for a show such as this.

I wish I could be there for the debut of Ken's SMPV. Congrats on getting the car together. Please take plenty of pictures.

Wow, the weather wasn't the only thing smokin' hot today in Central California. The 24th annual edition of the Ripon EV show was a record breaker with 150 total entries and 14 entries in the Special Pursuit Package Class with 9 Mustang SSPs and 5 Camaro B4Cs. The heat took a toll on humans and machines alike but all enjoyed the spectacle and camaraderie today.

Awards went to Matt M.'s 1995 NHP B4C, Kevin M.'s 1988 CHP EVOC SSP and John B.'s 1993 CHP SSP.

I was also able to make some CHP contacts at the show today and received information that may provide a treasure trove of in-service information and documentation about my car. I'll post more about that in a separate post.

Working on uploading a video I shot of the Code 3 parade to YouTube.

Very nice! Thanks for the pics for us East Coasters that never get to attend such an awesome event!

Cars look great! Glad Ken was able to get the SMPV out finally! It's been a long road for him and well worth it! :2thumbs:
