    IF YOUR GOOGLE GENE, IT SAYS HE HAS A NET WORTH OF TWO MILLION,
    DOWN FROM 5 MILLION A FEW MONTHS AGO,
    I WENT TO HIS PLACE AT THE DESERT TWO MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS A HOIST, AND MANY ASSETS VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AT HIS PLACE,
    FYI.....

    IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN---- THAT IS A PLAN TO FAIL......

    If you are still alive and
    somewhat cognitive …

    You will have made plenty
    of mistakes along by the way

    We know that net worths listed on the internet are always accurate.

    If you don't want to support it, don't support it. We don't know anyone's personal business, so we have no idea what his financial situation is. People are trying to help an elderly man who has gone through some crappy stuff lately. He happens to be an icon in this hobby/industry. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

    I briefly looked at the
    Instagram post and put
    that information
    in the original thread title

    I corrected the title and
    edited my first post

    The Instagram video says the 24th, the text says Saturday in one spot and Sunday on the other. Seems like the flyer is spot on. Sunday, November 24th.

    I am corresponding with someone
    who works at the venue for the car show

    He has indicated that several
    renowned hot rod and custom cars
    are attending from outside of California

    I will post when I know more

    Here is the location of the car show:

    I just got off the phone with
    one of the volunteers who
    helped organize the event …

    All of the car show spaces
    have been sold out including
    25 additional spaces

    The local volunteers donated
    car trophies for eight classes

    Gene Winfield will personally
    choose the winner in each class
    and sign their trophy

    No vendor spaces are available
    Gene Winfield’s personal memorabilia
    and swag will be available for sale

    The owners of the venue donated
    the space and local volunteers
    are providing the man and woman
    power to put this on

    All proceeds go to Gene Winfield’s
    care needs - he is staying in California

    This is what the hobby is about …

    Turning the wheel - helping each other

    Gene’s been through the grinder for this thing of ours—a relentless, soul-sucking beast that gives as much as it takes, and sometimes far more. The man’s poured blood, sweat, and god-knows-what-else into it, and from what I’ve gathered about the last few months, it’s taken him to hell and back. The stories I’ve heard are unspeakable. Unthinkable. The kind of shit that leaves scars you don’t show.

    Now, I’m not claiming to know all the details, but I know enough to say this: the benefit is appropriate. So let’s not nitpick or overthink it. If you want to support Gene, then show up, throw in, do the thing. If not, stay home.
