HOLY CRAP KNOTTS BERRY!? I live in Torrance, OMG! I will totally go! However, I have never heard of it, but I will do a little research. I have only met one CEG'r here with a Silver SVT, I would love to see more. Oh, btw, I always see a RED SVT parked here on Carson, ST during the weekdays in front of a flower shop, any one here with that?

Yea, it is going to be on Sunday April 25th in honor of the 25th anniversery for the show....Its the biggest All Ford show on the west coast.
I beleive it is 40 to enter your car in the show (or to get a primo parking spot ) but its free to walk around if your not entering your car in the show.

no problem at all. we discovered 2 years ago that if we arrive right before the gates close, we get the best spots in the show (cobras). its not like the csvts have to worry, the usually get the same crap spots every year.
so no need to sit in line for a few hours. just show up at the last 30 minutes before the show starts and you can roll right in lol

The general location is established in the master plan, and can vary from year to year. Last year it wasn't quite so grand.
But yes, no need to get there at 7 a.m. -- so long as you are in the stream of cars entering the gate by 9:59 a.m., you're good.

Yes, indeed -- if you are "showing" your car. You need to pre-register by April 12 (it often sells out early). Great goody bag in store.
Remember that it's a reunion -- not a show.
If you are a spectator, parking's about 12 bucks at any Knott's lot and it's otherwise free all day from 10-3.
If you want to take the family to Knott's amusement park, there are great deals on tickets on the registration form, and you can also buy them at the show, next to the registration booth (cash only).
