• The Car Events Calendar How-To

      Hello GearHeads -

      Julie has has worked pretty hard to compile calendar events for Ventura County and throughout Southern California. If you haven't already looked at the calendar, we think you will be pleasantly surprised to see an actual calendar with Year, Month, Week, and Day views. Julie receives event updates from organizers all over SoCal. In the future, the calendar will expand to Northern California and beyond.

      We try to include all of the details for an event so you don't have to travel around the Internet looking. information you can expect from our events include:


      • What the event is about
      • Location, Date, and Time
      • Event organizer contact info
      • Event website link
      • Event flyer and registration form
      • Plus - an interactive map from Google showing you exactly where to go

      Here's a sample of what you will see


      ** A benefit for registered users of WestCoastGearHeads.com... When logged-in, you will see a button (link) below each event to request a reminder alert to the email address used during registration. There is no cost for registration, but many benefits!

      Here's how to view the Events. Click on the "Events" button at the top of this website screen




      When you see the calendar, be sure you are looking at the right month. If you want to look at a different month, click on the dropdown button. Once done, click on the "Go" button next to the date and year. Optionally, you can click on the <- or -> buttons next to go. This will take you to the previous or next month currently displayed.



      To view an event, click on the event itself, which will bring up another window with all the details of the event. When available, the details will include event contact info, event website, a flyer, and an interactive map courtesy of Google.

      If you would like to add an event to the calendar, simply send an email to Events@WestCoastGearHeads.com with all of the details. Or, you can submit your event directly to the calendar with all of the details. If you have any trouble, let us know and we'll gladly guide you.

      To add an event directly to the calendar, click the "Add New Event" button.


      On the next screen, there are four simple steps

      • Add the title of the event
      • Set the date (options are Single, Ranged, and Recurring events)
      • Add all of the details of the event (copy and paste from your website is ok)
        • Include
          • Full address of the event
          • Contact info (email, phone, etc.)
          • Event website
          • Link to flyer
      Once you are satisfied that you have included everything you know, click "Save Event"


      Our calendar staff is alerted, when a new event is submitted and verifies that all of the info is included (we'll research for further details, if necessary). The event will be posted to the public fairly quickly after review, if all the necessary info is in the description.
