Put these dates on your calendar. Details below. If you wish to do the track day you need to register soon
DAVIS SWAP MEET AND CAR SHOW – Sunday April 27th.
This event will be the largest Volvo gathering in California this
year. Last year there were over 150 cars and I expect 200 this year
easily. The event will attract Volvo owners from all over the west
coast. The cost is $5 per car, $10 if you are selling parts. The
Davis Central Park Pavilion is located on 3rd and C streets in
Davis. It is right near downtown so that you can walk to
restaurants, shops etc. It is a great, shady place with a playground
for kids, etc. This has been our very best event for four years
now. The park got too crowded last year, so we will close the street
to add more parking. Don't miss this one. You don't need to be a
club member to participate, but you can join while you are there if you wish.
If you are coming from out of town, here is a list of Motels near the
park.
