There are many awards given out, so if you what to show the world what you have accomplished in your garage, have yourself and your car show up and strut your stuff.
2010 Fun Under the Sun Notes
Change is inevitable but also painful. After 30 years of holding our show at Knott’s Berry Farm it became necessary for us to find a different venue in order for it to prosper. So it’s with great excitement that we invite you to join us for our 31st Anniversary Fun Under the Sun Car Show to be held for the first time at the Fairplex at Pomona in front of the NHRA Motorsports Museum on the 24th of April, 2010. The selection of the NHRA Museum at Pomona seemed a natural –motorsports have been spoken there for decades–and working with the people at the Fairplex, the Host Sheraton Hotel and the NHRA Museum has been great as they all talk cars and are as enthusiastic to have us there as we are to be there!
There are some changes in the show format as we work to move, revamp and take advantage of the opportunities afforded us at the Fairplex. - It’s a one day show. We’ve seen the declining attendance on Sundays and understand why, but more importantly it’s to take advantage of the fact that Sunday the 25 this the world famous Pomona Automobile Swap Meet which will allow all of our vendors to move into the swap meet if they wish and reach an even larger audience then before
–Along with everyone else being able to walk the meet and see the bargains. Still a full car event weekend!
- We’re downsizing the individual show space for Private Participants to one car parking space each due to the limited size of the parking area we have to work with. The spaces at Fairplex are 45% larger than what single spaces were at Knott’s (9’x16’ vs.7’x14’) so although it’s tighter; there is still plenty of room. After-Market and Manufacturer’s spaces remain the same.
- We’re awarding the Good Manufacturer (GMP) trophy on Saturday morning so the manufacturer can have it all day in their booth to display.
- We’ve also teamed up with the NHRA Museum to offer free unlimited access all day Saturday (yes, it is part of your registration fee.) The NHRA Museum displays and promotes some of the best in racing history and fabulous cars around.
- We will offer a Saturday night dinner for those who are sticking around or wish to renew friendships. We will be having it inside the NHRA Museum –yes you heard this right, dinner and great cars at the same time –and it won’t be chicken.
