Good catch on the date change! After reading the thread over on TS, this looks like a gong show out in So Cal now.

I go for the OCTO meet primarily. (i could actually skip the classic and go to the beach) but the sum total of all the other events, shop parties, open houses, cruises etc makes it worth the 3k mile drive over just a few days.

My vote is we wait till next year and hope they get this sorted out. I'm up for an alternative group caravan if someone has an idea. If it wasnt my 20th wedding anniversary this Fall I'd suggest Solvang .

Well, dammit. It's not looking good at all. I agree.... The sum total of the all-bus OCTO, the Classic itself, and the various other events... is what makes the long trip worthwhile for me. I'm also losing interest if it all can't be done on the same trip.

I would love to substitute in the No Dough Bus Show in April at Daytona Beach, but it's coming up REAL quick, and that would make FOUR weekends in a row away from home. My wife won't likely be happy about that. That one is probably a no-go as well. I guess I might be putting the August Eureka Springs show back on the agenda 8-)

way disapointing about the classic. I feel so bad for all the folks from overseas. I have way more fun the week before and octo, than the classic itself. Plus Nick's burger spot closed, and Lenny doesnt do a big BBQ anymore


In a way, this is good for me. My little brother is getting married in September/October. Save my classic money and use it to go to their wedding

Looks like we mark this thread dead for 2014 ...bummer but better now so we can craft an alternate.

Hmmm Eureka Springs .... Only 586 miles from my front door!

That sucks! I was getting excited about the CA Classic... Oh well, Eureka Springs is a fun show in a cool town.
