FireballV8 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 HiI just had a few questions about the AACA Western Fall Meet in San Diego, CA this year. I would like to show a couple of cars and want to know how to join the AACA and what is needed to sign up for the meet. I have been wanting to show a car since 2002, but this seems to be my only chance yet. Please advise as I have not been able to find out too much on my own. Also curious about what a car might win on its first time judged and what are the next steps to get to the highest award. Can it win the highest award the first time out?ThanksSteveEmail steveclassic@earthlink.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Steve,Here are your answers:To show at the meet you need to be an AACA member. To join the club either call (717) 534-1910 or signup online at http://catalog.aaca.org/Once you are a member you can signup for the meet online or when you call to join just ask the friendly folks there to send you registration information.Find a brochure for the meet at: www.aaca.org/meets/brochures/SanDiego.pdf A car that goes for it's first award will be eligible for a "First Junior". For details on the judging system you can download the judges guidelines at http://www.aaca.org/publications/manuals/judgesFinally, I suggest your also join the San Diego region.SAN DIEGO REGIONKen Whited916 Temple StreetSan Diego, CA 92106 If you go to the car museum in Balboa park you'll find a lot of the AACA members as docents and I even believe they restore cars in the maintenance area.Good luck and if you have additional questions I'll be glad to help. I'll also be attending the meet as a judge.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
