Alright, quick update this morning. California is still #1 with 152, while Arizona has moved ahead of Utah for second with 16 to Utah's 13. Texas is apparently taking it easy with only six, while British Columbia and Alberta are not far behind with five and four respectively. Nevada has three while there are two apiece coming from Colorado, Ohio, Ontario, Oregon, and Washington. The singular states are Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee, and Nebraska. Don't see your state listed? Well, check your vacation schedule, call up the hotel and register already!
Oh and there are a TON of SRTs coming already, in case you thought otherwise... 18 300C SRT8 16 Challenger SRT8 2 Challenger SRT8 IE 392 25 Charger SRT8 9 Charger Super Bee 12 Magnum SRT8

Still, you got maybe 9-10 weeks before registration is closed and I imagine the hotel will be filling up fast if it wasn't already. I've been promoting this event since what, August or September now? You've had plenty of time to make plans, all you gotta do is sign up.
180 Californians now registered, but that means there are 74 coming from out of state, even out of country!

Get the word out, ask your friends if they are going and if not, why not? We got convoys developing from all over, even if you're the only one from your area, odds are you can join up with those passing through or on the way.
11 more since last night makes 270, just 30 shy of 300! Looking for the numbers to spike over the weekend! British Columbia, California, and Texas had gains and we added another state, Wisconsin!! All the LXes had gains, but no new Challengers. C'mon y'all!! All today's registrants are 2007 or earlier models. Hmm... 300Cs, 300 Tourings, Charger R/T Daytonas, Charger R/T Road/Tracks, Charger SRT8s, Charger Super Bees, Magnum R/Ts and Magnum SRT8s all had gains since yesterday. Bright Silver Metallic, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Cool Vanilla, Detonator Yellow, Go Mango!, Inferno Red Crystal Pearl, and Magnesium Pearl all made gains.

Arizona is finally getting in the game with 21 total, a gain of ONE since yesterday. Utah is holding steady at 13, but Texas finally made it into the double digits with a new total of 11 after adding TWO more.

It looks like the 300s are coming after all, now up to 58 total, 7 more since yesterday. ------ 2006 models now number 103, while there are 59 2007s and 51 2005s. The newer models are putting in a strong showing with 43 2009s, 40 2008s and 31 2010s, while 2011s now number 5! ------ Many model-trim totals grew since yesterday so the competition for TOP model/trim could get interesting: 39 Magnum R/T 32 Charger SRT8 30 300C SRT8 28 Challenger SRT8 27 Challenger R/T 24 Magnum SXT 21 Charger R/T, Magnum SRT8 17 300C 15 Charger R/T Daytona 14 Charger Super Bee 11 Magnum SE 7 Charger SXT 6 Other Other 5 Challenger R/T Classic, Charger R/T Road/Track, Charger SE 4 300 Base/LX/V6/RWD, 300 Touring, Challenger SRT8 IE 392 3 Challenger R/T J 2 300C Heritage, Challenger SE, Charger SE Plus, Magnum R/T AWD, Dodge Other 1 300C SRT Design, Challenger R/T Mopar 10, Challenger SE G, Magnum SXT AWD ------ We now have a Vehicle Color in the triple digits, and numerous colors in the double digits now: 106 Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl 41 Bright Silver Metallic 29 Inferno Red Crystal Pearl 22 Hemi Orange Pearl 16 TorRed 15 Cool Vanilla 15 Other 14 Silver Steel Metallic 10 B5 Blue Pearl, Stone White 9 Deep Water Blue, Magnesium Pearl, Midnight Blue Pearl 5 Detonator Yellow 4 Dark Titanium Metallic, Plum Crazy Pearl 3 Go Mango!, Steel Blue Metallic, Top Banana 2 Bright White, Mineral Gray Metallic 1 Butane Blue Pearl, Furious Fuchsia, Light Sandstone Metallic (NEW!!!), Marine Blue Pearl, Sublime Metallic So yeah, the first week was a little slow in terms of growth, but looking back, its that way every year. We got less than ELEVEN weeks until the event plenty of time to get the word out and get folks excited! Today's growth is the largest since Monday in fact. Keep 'em coming.
Tonight's Stats - Much better! New total is 375 when I last refreshed the stats page (probably more now). FIVE states saw gains since yesterday! ALL FOUR Models saw gains! Every Model Year but 2011 had gains! FIFTEEN Model/Trim combinations had gains PLUS we added two more! TWELVE Colors had gains plus we added some more "other" colors without adding any Non-LX/LCs!

Oh, you wanted to see ranks? Well, there are now 301 Californians registered for this event. That still means 96 of ya are coming from outside the state. Fifteen of those are from outside the country, and two of THOSE are from outside the friggin’ hemisphere! • 301 – California • 26 – Arizona • 14 – Utah • 12 – Texas • 8 – Nevada • 6 – British Columbia • 5 – Alberta • 3 – Colorado, Ohio, and Washington • 2 – Ontario and Oregon • 1 – Florida, Germany, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Sweden, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Wyoming Chargers are still in the lead with 118, but it looks like someone told the 300s, cause there are 75 now! • 118 - Chargers • 113 - Magnums • 83 – Challengers • 75 – 300s For some reason 2006s are the clear leader still, but the other years are finally turning up in droves. • 129 – 2006 • 69 – 2007 • 57 – 2005 • 48 – 2009 • 46 – 2008 • 39 – 2010 • 5 – 2011 • 4 – Other We added another new model, a Charger Base. And the competition is still pretty fierce for who’s on top. At the moment it’s the Magnum R/Ts, but with four other models numbering in the 30s, and seven others in the twenties and teens, its still any model/trim’s game. • 45 – Magnum R/T • 36 – 300C SRT8 • 35 – Charger SRT8 • 33 – Challenger SRT8 • 30 – Challenger R/T • 29 – Magnum SRT8 • 25 – Charger R/T and Magnum SXT • 23 – 300C • 18 - Charger R/T Daytona • 14 – Charger Super Bee • 11 – Magnum SE • 8 – Charger R/T Road/Track and Charger SXT • 7 – Challenger R/T Classic • 6 – 300 Base/LX/V6/RWD and Other Other • 5 – Charger SE • 4 – 300 Touring, Challenger SE, and Challenger SRT8 IE 392 • 3 – 300 Limited, Challenger R/T J, Charger SE Plus • 2 – 300C Heritage, Magnum R/T AWD, Dodge Other • 1 – 300C SRT Design, Challenger R/T Mopar 10, Challenger SE G, Charger Base, Charger R/T Plus, Magnum SXT AWD While Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl is a clear favorite, it just makes it easier for all those other colors to stand out. • 129 – Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl • 46 – Bright Silver Metallic • 32 – Inferno Red Crystal Pearl • 23 – Hemi Orange Pearl • 21 Silver Steel Metallic • 18 – Cool Vanilla and Other • 17 – TorRed • 13 – B5 Blue Pearl • 12 – Stone White • 11 – Deep Water Blue • 10 – Magnesium Pearl and Midnight Blue Pearl • 5 – Dark Titanium Metallic and Detonator Yellow • 4 – Plum Crazy Pearl, Steel Blue Metallic and Top Banana • 3 – Go Mango! And Mineral Gray Metallic • 2 – Bright White and Sublime Metallic • 1 – Butane Blue Pearl*, Deep Lava Red Pearl*, Furious Fuchsia, Light Sandstone Metallic, and Marine Blue Pearl * Just looking over the list of registrants, I see that some OEM colors don’t track with the models they’re associated with. I understand how in the excitement of registering for the first time you might slip or get confused, but we want to make sure everything is right. As excited as I am to see exotic colors like Butane Blue and Deep Lava Red, I’d hate to be disappointed that they aren’t really coming because someone flubbed the color selection. Please make sure to select the correct color and to review your registration or even just look at your listing on the statistics page to make sure all your information is correct. If it’s not correct, post up here or even PM me or one of the guys running this show and we’ll get you straightened out.
The new total is 416, so just 19 since Tuesday night. Another slow day for gains, so time for something different. So you say it’s too far or it’s just a bunch of Californians… Well, we’ve got attendees coming from Germany and Sweden, so odds are you won’t be the furthest. Of the 416 registered, NINETY-NINE are coming from out of state. In fact, TWENTY other states besides California, plus parts of Canada in addition to those guys from overseas I already mentioned. You say it’s too far to drive. Well, we got folks coming from Ontario, Ohio and Tennessee under their own “Mopower.†You think it’s all show cars? Well, I know of many daily drivers (like mine), as well as super-charged, turbo’d, roadcourse’d and autocross’d cars that will be there, plus they’ve got Sam “the Crazy Swede†Hubinette there with the Dodge Motorsports Drift Challenger. You think it’s all SRTs and R/Ts? Well, we’ve got at least SEVENTY V6s registered. Heck, we’ve even got ONE Magnum SXT AWD. Its Southern California in March on a retired air field, with a few thousand? of your closest car forum friends. What is NOT to love? You wondering who’s already signed up to attend? Check this page: http://www.socallx.com/SpringFestival/2011SFStatistics.aspx Now you wanna sign up? Go here: http://www.socallx.com/SpringFestival.aspx Oh and Registration is free. If you hurry you might still get a room at the nearby Doubletree where everyone will be before and after the show for a discount rate. Plus there's shopping for the LX/LC widows, there's Disneyland in semi-reasonable driving distance if you need an excuse for the family to tag along. Seriously, you gotta come check it out and see why so many of us are sooo enthusiastic about this annual event.
Curious about the current standings? TOTAL: 419 (Added FOUR and Lost ONE since yesterday) STATES: 320 - California 26 - Arizona 15 - Utah 12 - Texas 8 - Nevada 6 - British Columbia 5 - Alberta 3 - Colorado, Ohio, and Washington 2 - Ontario and Oregon 1 - Florida, Germany, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Sweden, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Wyoming MODELS: 124 - Dodge Charger 118 - Dodge Magnum 88 - Dodge Challenger 79 - Chrysler 300 YEARS: 139 - 2006 71 - 2007 58 - 2005 50 - 2009 48 - 2008 43 - 2010 5 - 2011 and Other MODEL/TRIM: 45 - Magnum R/T 39 - 300C SRT8 38 - Charger SRT8 36 - Challenger SRT8 33 - Magnum SRT8 30 - Challenger R/T 26 - Charger R/T 25 - Magnum SXT 23 - 300C 18 - Charger R/T Daytona 15 - Charger SuperBee 12 - Magnum SE 9 - Challenger R/T Classic 8 - Charger R/T Road/Track and Charger SXT 7 - 300 Base/LX/V6/RWD and Other Other 5 - Charger SE 4 - 300 Touring, Challenger SE, and Challenger SRT8 IE 392 3 - 300 Limited, Challenger R/T J, Charger SE Plus, and Dodge Other 2 - 300C Heritage, Charger Base, and Magnum R/T AWD 1 - 300C SRT Design, Challenger R/T Mopar 10, Challenger SE G, Charger R/T Plus, Magnum SXT AWD COLORS: 135 - Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl 48 - Bright Silver Metallic 33 - Inferno Red Crystal Pearl 25 - Hemi Orange Pearl 24 - Silver Steel Metallic 21 - Other 18 - Cool Vanilla and TorRed 14 - Stone White 13 - B5 Blue Pearl 11 - Deep Water Blue 10 - Magnesium Pearl 9 - Midnight Blue Pearl 6 - Steel Blue Metallic 5 - Dark Titanium Metallic and Detonator Yellow 4 - Mineral Gray Metallic, Plum Crazy Pearl, and Top Banana 3 - Go Mango! 2 - Bright White and Sublime Metallic 1 - Butane Blue Pearl, Deep Lava Red Pearl, Furious Fuchsia, Light Sandstone Metallic and Marine Blue Pearl So there you have it. Not bad for the first two weeks. If we could maintain an average of 210 per week we'd be at our goal in like three weeks. I'm used to seeing more from Arizona and Texas, but its early yet. I keep having to remind myself that this is only the second year that registration opened so early, so by all accounts we're doing great. Again, get the word out and all it takes is one or two people agreeing to a road trip before it becomes a full blown multi-colored convoy.
