    I realize this is not exclusively a Ferrari event and I tried to post on the calendar instead but it's so sticky I can't quite figure it out. The clock on my microwave is also blinking if that gives you an idea ... ;)

    This is all the info on Pg. 38 in June issue of Westways. I'll post more as I find out.

    June 14
    7am - 2pm
    Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show
    Boys Republic
    3493 Grand Ave
    Chino Hills CA

    On June 14, the Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show will be held on the site of Boys Republic from 7 am - 2 pm. Proceeds will go to Boys Republic, a private nonprofit school and treatment facility for troubled youth. McQueen was a resident at the school as a boy and a strong supporter of it later in life. Several cars and motorcycles owned by McQueen will be displayed at the show, and cars from various sports car clubs will also be featured, as well as live music and In-N-Out burgers.

    For more information, call Ron Harris at (562) 755-8405 or email at [email protected]

    I have no clue where Chino Hills is but I LOVE McQueen and his cars and bikes. I've even been to the motorcycle museum in Solvang! If I can find a way out there seem like a good cause. Would really appreciate any feedback from anyone that knows about it. Please post for all. Good or bad.

    Spoke with Ron this morning, so here is the scoop.

    $20 to display a car, $10 per passenger in the car, $10 Entrance fee as spectator. All in effort to help Boys Republic.

    Staging at 7:00am – until 2:00pm, cars on display are not allowed to leave before 2:00pm

    There will be a raffle for McQueen items, like Lemans jacket, hats etc. Matt Stone will be on site to autograph his book “McQueen’s Machines”

    The show will consists of variety of cars from different local car clubs, from vintage American muscle car, to German Porsches and hopefully we can have some representative of Italians too.

    So far there are only 10 spots opening for Ferraris, count me in as one for display, so there are only 9 spots left. Anyone who is interested please let me know so I can reserve a spot for you.

    Even though the show starts at 7:00am, but Ron does recommend spectators to show up at 9:00am instead.

    Hope to see some of you guys there.

    There are 13 spots now reserved for Ferraris, you can show up at any time to display your car. But the spaces are first come first serve, 300+ cars are expected to show up. Very flexible hours, you can also leave early.

    I will be showing up at around 7:00am, if anyone is interested I would be glad to meet them somewhere in Chino hills and to drive in together.

    once we put up the cars from tonights hot rod cruise we're draggin out the old faithful Testarossa for this event.. once its over we head down to the RM Auction at Joe's Garage to see if theres any (highly doubtful) bargains to be had,see old friends and try to get a good spot for monterey!!!!thankfully we decided to not enter anything for sundays BH councours.....one can only have so many car events to attend in a weekend before the girlfriend starts to get *****y,the only one she would want to attend would be BH and theres no way im letting her anywhere near rodeo drive shops where she can use those car show things against me!!

    It was very nice to meet ferrari sulla pellicola (Black horse media), Eric (Kruger), and David today, glad to put a face with the name.

    There were tons of Porsche there, now I know for sure I have a complete change of heart. Not a single Porsche from today gave me the slightest excitement.

    Here are some pic from my lowly camera.

    The real brew starts this Sat at my house... I have to work on a Ruf 911 turbo this weekend, and afterward I will be throwing on something good on the grill. Hopefully Eric will bring the brew, but in either case my wine cooler is fully stocked. Open invitation if anyone wants to join the fun and talk about pistons.
