I don't think you have to be sold on whether to attend or not. The glowing testimonials of last years attendants should be good enough!

I just registered my roadster and truck (I'll need a second driver). If your coming, I'll see you there! If not, you'll hear how you missed out.

I went through the paypal method and it's pretty clear, but be sure to follow the instructions to get registered correctly.

Here's the blurb from the official site-

On Saturday, September 30, 2006, from 9 am to 3 pm, join us at the Queen Mary in Long Beach for the original 2nd Annual Japanese Classic Car Show!

Nearly every make and model of the "Old School" Japanese car brands will be on display in this celebration of Japanese automotive history, including Toyota, Mazda, Datsun/Nissan, Honda, Subaru, Mitsubishi, and more!

Last year’s Japanese Classic Car Show was a huge success, with nearly 5,000 people attending. Excellent weather is expected for this year’s show, and car enthusiasts will get to see even more cars than last year!

The winning car will receive JCCS trophies and great prizes. But the real prize is the excitement of seeing cars of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, and meeting with other car enthusiasts from all over the U.S.

So come see the "So-Cal Old School Imports" really shine at the 2nd Annual Japanese Classic Car Show!

Registration Fee $30.00 for per vehicles: Pre 1985 manufactured models only, which includes the models that was first built in 1985.

Queen Mary General Parking is available for all the spectators, fee of $3- 10.

*The picture shows the popular Japanese playing cards or "Hana Fuda" ("Flower Cards") that contain pictures of flowers, the Moon, the Sun, and animals. In 1980’s Japan, car enthusiasts often used the Hana-fuda images, Japanese symbols (Kanji), and terms from the World War II era (like "Kami-kaze" and the "Rising Sun") to symbolize speed and strength. Look for hidden messages in the background and featured cars

"Kyu-sha shu-kai" stands for Classic Car Meeeting

"It’s already been 46 years since the very first Japanese vehicle was ported with a pounding heart in California. Who could have imagined what the remarkable popularity of Japanese cars would be? The continuation of persevering efforts and skills of the Japanese car manufacturers has made this significant improvement - strong will and a priority for "manufacturing high-quality automobiles that satisfy people". And so, the popularity of Japanese classics has grown. The Japanese Classic Car Show is a safe and fun, family oriented event on a sparkling green grass park, in front of the ocean & the mother ship Queen Mary. It is not only about cars, it is about the Japanese culture and respect for old sprits. Bring the kids and enjoy Southern California’s blue skies and peaceful ocean breezes while viewing some of the finest Japanese Classics in America."

I'm hoping to be there, not sure if I'll bring the 240Z, but I'm trying to convince my step dad to taking me.

Great show, many guys from the San Diego Z club went last year they loved the show. Next the WestCoast Nationals at Motorsport this is the best event.

I am signed up to bring one of my race cars, If I can get my 510 done in time it will be there. Otherwise I will probably bring the Z.

Hope to see you guys there, it is a great show at a great venue.

Victor, IIRC wasn't there a parking issue last year....not enough room? If so, has it been addressed and resolved. If there are going to be more cars and people this year I hope the parking situation is under control.
