It doesn’t have any radiators fitted…. might get a bit toasty…

Radiators and oil cooler were there, it was just missing the ducting from the chin inlet.

I’d expect it’s easier to get out of Chino by car than Duxford after an event.

How do they compare by costs…entry, parking, food?

I can’t speak for the proles as I went in the VIP gate & left via the tenants gate to the East end of the airfield. I also parked right behind the tower while the public were out in some field at the Prison end & transported via trolley to the spectator areas.
Admission was $20, kids $5. I was handed a wristband at the pilots briefing so I didn’t pay. I have no idea if they charged for parking, I think not.
It seems most of the traffic is on Euclid Ave heading to the 10 & 60 freeways after the show. I went up Bel somethingorother which was free of traffic except for 4 other cars heading to the next freeway junction to the east at Grove.
The only traffic issue happened on the 60 which was all droning along at 30mph for some reason… then after about 2 miles of this I saw a CHP cruiser sitting on an on-ramp & once past him everyone sped up to the usual 70-80mph.
The only food I bought was a bbq tri-tip sammich & a can of coke which cost me $10. There were more cans of drink during the day but they were free (can of diet coke at Allied Fighters hangar, can of diet coke at the briefing etc, I avoided the free donuts, can’t have sugar). I think they were charging $1 for bottles of water.

Not sure about the traffic going in as I was there at some ungodly hour…. about 7.20am IIRC

I also noticed that the fender fluff at the Ducati/Triumph tent was stouter than the ramp tootsies seen in previous years… Rubenesque even…. & there was only 1, not 2 this year.. altho to be fair, she probably weighed the same as the 2 from last year.

& who was that reporter type female with the kind of body that would make the Pope kick a nun?

Also I don’t recall seeing a beer tent at Chino, but I wasn’t looking for one.

They did have a booth selling Bud Light, but you’re right, I didn’t see anywhere selling beer.
