Friends of Steve McQueen Car and Motorcycle Show 2024

[Sharp Shooter]

They put on a live re-creation of The Great Escape chase scene. The Sherman tank firing off was worth the price of admission alone.

That looks like the most eclectic and cool collection of badassery ever assembled! Slingshots, altereds, air craft and everything in between! That has to be one of the greatest gatherings I've seen. Mr. McQueen is smiling!

Very impressive, is this the annual show just one and done?
My kind of show, anything with a engine and a tank firing to top it off!

Yes, it’s the annual show first weekend in June every year.

Wow sorry I missed that one! If it’s annual I might have to do something for it next year.

 

[Ziggy]

Sweet! That's an extensive gathering.

Named my old purple boat after this movie. Grape Escape.

Great photos!

Nice to see @Clank123 and @ltbaney1 had their bitchin' hot rods onsite.

Glad that field dried out - they had to cancel the Porsche 356 show and swap meet last month because it was too wet.

I passed a couple of those cars yesterday on the 5 heading home. The Nomad and the Cutlas. Love seeing classics driving next to modern cars!

Damn, I missed it again. When did they start including boats? I am pretty sure I haven't seen them in past years.

Man, looks bad ass!
My pop would have loved it.

He went every year to this show, since he lived 3mins away.
I went a few times with him in the past but it was never like that.

I've been the last 3 years and each time boats were there. I have posted photos of this event here on Riverdaves every year.

Out of the last 3 years this one was easily the best. I heard the Cal Rod Club helped bring a crowd as well as talked them into lowering their vehicle admission price. I've never seen the huge military and camping truck representation before as well as the movie chase scene recreation. They did have a moto demo 2 years ago.

Between medium duty trucks and aircraft engines, Studebaker did great things helping to win WWII. It's too bad they disappeared after 114 years in business.

I assume so - I was going but got an email that said it was too wet to use when they cancelled last month?

we have been there the past 3 years, always had the boats as well. it is a cool show, and my kids enjoy it with the variety. My uncle had 3 triumphs out there this year and took home an award for it. this year all of the dragster guys were kind of bummed, they have always had out on the baseball fields by the planes with easy access to our trailers. this year they moved us up onto that heavily sloped asphalt.
