We are a go! Fall Fling Oct 24th 2020 @Irwindale Speedway -Mopar Swap-Show-Drags

Blame every California resident that voted for an assclown Democrat for every office from Dog Catcher to Governor. Florida is moving forward with 2 major shows. Why? Well, Governor Ron DeSantos is a Republican.
The idiot Liberals have ruined this state. You jerkoffs that voted for them are as responsible for the downward spiral of this state as the politicians are. This state is the butt of the joke to every citizen in the other states. We look like the biggest collection of assholes this side of a nudist colony.
 
@autoxcuda cam you confirm any of this? The Facebook page does say cancelled. It looks to be true. So sad.
 
I’m just at a loss for words. Well, I wasn’t earlier. LOL. I can’t frickin believe it. Well, I can. California. This screws with so many peoples livelihoods. What a freakin MESS!! This show was the ONLY good thing to come out of this year.
-One pissed off Patriot.
 
I made commitments to deliver parts that customers paid for through PayPal. I am going to honor my word and make the drive.
I have 2 fenders and three doors to deliver.
 
I have about 2000.00 in presolds but two are drop offs in Vegas which I'm still going to. Have a set of heads I was to deliver to the Fling and also pick up 2 833 trannys.
I probably have to do a refund on the heads. Also picking a motor and trans in Vegas.
 
I come across as arrogant online but in person, I'm a mix of funny and annoying.
 
What!!! Where did you see this?

Steve just confirmed it over on FBBO.

This more than sucks.

Was doing all kinds of organizing of parts in preparation, guess maybe next spring.

Steve has got to be busy with the cancellation business, and will get official note out here at some point. I am not on faceplant, spend my spare time here.

The track said people were calling the City asking what special protocols were going happen for this “event”. And vendors called asking about selling licensees. They did not want a “super-spreader” event.

October 20, 2020) Irwindale, CA - Officials from Irwindale Speedway & Event Center and Chrysler Performance West:

At the insistence of local officials, “Fall Fling 25th Anniversary,” has been canceled until a time when it can be assured that an event of this prestige can be hosted in a safe and successful manor. The event, previously scheduled for this Saturday, October 24th, was set to host a participant only Mopar Swap Meet and Drag Race on Irwindale Dragstrip. CPW and I.S.E.C. ask for patience and understanding from all participants as we look toward the future for possible collaborations.

All pre-paid participants will receive full refunds for the Saturday, October 24th event. Refunds will begin to be processed as soon as possible. Questions can be directed to info@cpwclub.com and info@irwindalespeedway.com

CPW club president

This was supposed to be a "participants only" event, yet the flyer i saw implied that spectators could be admitted for $15. I wonder if that had something to do with city of irwindale panic?
 
What a bunch of pussies. People calling to see what special protocols were going to happen? Were we sabotaged by limp wristed weenies that pretend to be car guys?
 
I was looking forward to this, and finding a few small parts for my car. Im beyond irritated by this.

The flyer did not say or use the word spectator.

That is true. But it does say "general admission $15. That implies spectator to me.
Irwindale dragstrip got around the regulations at previous events by calling everyone thru the gate a participant or crew member, and limiting access, no spectators (general admission).
Granted, that is a pretty difficult stand to take at a primarily spectator show like fall fling.
 
should be:
  • $15 Buyers admission (free parking)
  • $40 show cars (includes driver)
  • $40 20’x20’ Sellers spot(includes driver)
  • $60 Test N Tune Drags(includes driver)
There are no spectators, only potential buyers!
I hear LA may be easing up restrictions, BACK TO WOODLEY PARK!

People at our shows don’t spectate. They shop in the swap meet and look at cars for sale.

The car parking was on the other side of the facility away from the track. The track had closed stands.

The flyer says “per person” “walk-in”

Just got word a private closed driving event at a remote racetrack that got 2 calls the night before the event.

Less than 40 cars, mostly single driver & spread out in pits. Otherwise inside the car driving in track.

Health officials and sheriffs showed up morning off event.

Same thing happened for a car cruise with people inside the cars.

Luckily these complaints involved Police that have some sensibility.

It seems people are actively searching out and targeting any gathering trying to cancel it due to Covid.

Our event was OK’d by City UNTIL people called in.

Beware!
