12-3-2009: New Events Calendar

Post by Steve Simmons »

Some of you may have noticed a change in the events calendar. I'm still tweaking a bit, but the new calendar should be more reliable and easier to use. The "Events Calendar" link still works as always but should give more accurate and detailed information. There is also a new mini-calendar in the side bar on the main page of the site. This mini-calendar will show when events are coming up, and clicking on a date will tell you what is happening on that day.

As always, post any upcoming events in the forums and I will add them to the calendar. Eventually I will try to allow members to enter their own events but this may be a ways off because I need to work out some security issues first.

Hope you enjoy, and comments / complaints are always welcome!

- Steve

Are you going to add the "fun runs" to the events calendar?

The Turkey run is on there, and I will of course add future runs as they pop up. Any car-related event is fair game. :)

Steve please add the 54th Holiday Motor Excursion - Pasadena. This is a must see event. It happens the first Sunday after Xmas. Jay Leno is a regular and the variety of cars is amazing. It's like a grand automotive Museum and parade all in one. Get there early to see the cars dive in and stay to watch them leave. To par take in the tour I believe you must be in a pre-1934 car. some day ours will be running so we can. I may be wrong about the cut-off, but know the cars are all pre-war. When I am in town I always go. I can not find a link to the event, but there should be one posted soon. Generally over a 100 cars show up!
Here is a link from somebody's day there last year:
