The Ventura Show 2008

August 14, 2008 The Ventura Show 2008
I recently found out from my friend Eddie at World Class Motoring that the 2008 Ventura Show was going to be at the Ventura County Fair Grounds September 13 and 14. So what’s great about the 2008 Ventura Show? It’s the 15th annual German Auto Fest which is a Porsche show. Anything that has to do with Porsche is OK with me. I don’t know anyone who’s an auto enthusiast like me that doesn’t picture themselves behind the wheel of a 911, a Boxster, or a Cayman. It says you’ve made it; you’re on top of the world.
There is more Porsche’s per-capita in Southern California than possibly anywhere else in the world. So where better a place to see hundreds, maybe thousands of Porsche’s than the beautiful Ventura County Fair Grounds. All makes and models, all years from the beginning to today will be there.
The show which had been previously run by Bob Campbell for 14 years before is now being taken over by World Class Motoring because Mr. Campbell is changing his focus to other things. Bob Campbell will help with the transition of the show from his company German Auto Fest, to World Class Motoring, making it as seamless as possible.
World Class Motoring which is located in Agoura Hills, has been in the business of selling automotive related items for many years. They started out as a catalog based business and have recently opened their store. They have years of experience in working at automotive shows, and will be using this experience to run the Ventura Show 2008.
I’m looking forward to being there, to see all the vendors, displays and cars. I plan on taking my camera to document the proceedings in my own fashion. Last year the main event was Turbos On Main Street. There was a swap meet, Saturday’s People’s Choice Concours, Sundays’ Crazy Concours, daily seminars, a car sales corral and more. This year the main event will be early 911’s On Main Street. And like last year there will also be many other things happening. Larry Crane of Auto Aficionado magazine is helping out to get together the people who are going to speak at the event. And there is a rumor that there might be some of the Martini & Rossi Porsche race cars at the show. As of yet the rumor has not been confirmed.
