OC Concours Sunday June 3rd

[HB Chris]

Correction in Title: Sunday June 2nd!

Thanks to Mike Burger and Fred Larimer we will have our own BMW Concours at the HB Concours d' Elegeance held at the Huntington Beach Public Library on Sunday June 2nd. Last year we gathered a few BMWs at the last minute and participated at this event and had a great time. Then the wheels started turning and some of us said "why not have our own categories" next year? Well, Mike and Fred put words into actions and now it's official. There are four classes of BMWs, if you are in Southern California you need to join us and either be judged or displayed or just wander among the great cars this show attracts.

The HB Concours is quickly approaching. This is our first year where we have a specific BMW category. Please come help support us in making this a great event! Bring your BMW even if you aren't interested in having your car judged, there is a display only category for non judged cars.

The organizers of the HB Concours have finally gone 21st century and are now offering online registration!!! Here is a link to the online registration form. There is another page where you can pay after you’ve hit submit.

Looking forward to Attending it

Just found out that I'll be in LA that weekend (without my car though).

Looking forward to seeing in person some of the Coupes that so far I've
only seen in photos here in the forum. Hopefully will also get the
opportunity to meet some of you West Coast owners too!

If I just want to come see the E9s and meet a few of you, would it be better to come on Saturday or Sunday ?

Pete:

If you will be in the area both weekend days, round out the experience by coming to Cars & Coffee in Irvine on Saturday morning. There are always some e9's there, as well the wild and the wacky. You have to be there EARLY - the event basically runs from 6:30 am to 8:30 am. Be sure to park in the visitor parking structure if you are driving a rental car.

I made the early morning trip to Irvine. To say that it was a spectular gathering of all types of wonderful cars is an understatement. My head was spinning trying to take in all the beautiful cars. It felt more like a car show except no judging. I saw 3 super looking E9's there but was not able to meet anyone to talk to. I'll post some pictures when I get back home.

Chris- on a disappointing note, A last minute schedule change means that I will be
unable to attend the Sunday car show. I saw the nice HB library when I stopped by to buy the tickets and a glimpse of the wonderful grounds where the show cars will likely be.
I'm really bummed that I won't get a chance to meet you guys and to see your cars, but maybe next year

At least thanks to Jay and what I saw this morning, I got a car fix this weekend!!

Hope you all have a wonderful car show on sunday...

Congrats to John LaPorta

John (polaris6) took first in pre `76 BMWs with his `73 Verona coupe on his first contest. We think we now have him hooked on attending more events including Carmel this August. We had 25 BMWs, although not all were judged, including several nice e30 M3s and e28 535s and five very nice coupes. A big thanks to Mike Burger and Fred Larimer for getting this event going, and to Paul Cain our chief judge, we would like to make this an annual event and draw even more cars. We were the biggest marque other than the 50 or so Corvettes celebrating their 60th anniversary. Ron Perry's CSL also took a first place award along with his e28.

Thanks Chris. It was a lot of fun and would not have been possible without Mike, Fred, Paul and your support. Already looking forward to next year and possibly Carmel.
