the duck tail and james dean run are good ones on the same weekend and just a few miles apart

 

Yup it was cold ..but I'm hard core with my California ASS!!!

I've been to alot of shows over the years and my list are the best shows
because of the people and the event and just good old Hot Rodding!!!

Pile Up
Primer Nats
Round up
Day of the drags
Jalopy Showdown
Detroit autorama
billet Proof
Asphalt invite
Pride of the champ
March Meets Baco
even the GNRS was pretty cool

These are the best of the best,,,if you can make it any of these
you wont be disapointed.

Paso Is my all time favorite. I hate when people say shit like this but I havent missed it for 11 years now. Midnight mass put on by the poorboys is probably second it is part car show part party LTR Dave

 

Here in Australia,

I would have to say

Bright

Queenscliff

 

Street Rod Nationals in Louisville Kentucky

• People and Friends
• Practically in my backyard (4 hours)
• Enough space to cruise all weekend
• More stuff to see and do than you have time for in 5 days
• Six Flags is next door (Brings in the cute girls, haha)
• Every style of car/build you can think of can be found (pre 48 that is)
• Last but not least. Its one of the most exhilerating things ever to be/hear/smell/see 11,000+ cars in one place at one time.

HAMB Drags

• First and foremost, the people
• Second, the cars. Almost every vehicle there is just what gets me goin.
• Drag Racing. Its really the only place i get to not only see, but be a part of old time drag racing.
• The People
• The Parking lot shenanigans

S.I.S.R.A. Father's Day Rod Run and Radius Rod Roundup (aka Pocahontas)

• The last 2 remaing geunuine "Rod Runs" around here.
• Both held in amazing Parks
• The People are all old friends and everyone knows everyone

 

Bonneville. too obvious to explain (if you've been there, you'd understand....)

So I guess I'll be the first to say it......
A-Bombers Old Style Weekend... Uddevalla Sweden Woohooo! It can't be the first weekend of August fast enough!!

Paso Robles
Ducktail Gas city,in
Rebel Run in Lima,oh
Emerald coast cruise in panama city,Fl
Indy goodguys
World of Wheels huntington,Wv a small show but has a real family feel
Pumpkin Run in ohio

 

LA Roadster Show is a killer show for a Florida Cracker boy.

 

My vote goes to the "Hot Rod Revolution" up in Penngrove, California (Norcal) in the month of September. Small, good people and lots of high quality and very traditional pre-1948 hot rods... thanks again Ryan for putting on this show, can't wait for next year!

Our CC, The Road Zombies puts on an invitational party/picnic every year in July for the local Norcal rodders and CC's.
Here's a cool pic from last year after everyone left and a few rods that stuck around for these shots

Billet Proof always a great time and growing...thanks once again Kirk
Asphalt invitational, quailty... sorry we missed last year Jay
Paso ...finding a place to stay is difficult.
Viva ...man what a drive!
moon eyes ...lots to see and also growing.
Primer nats ...another great show.

I haven't been to the:
Pile up
Round up
Hamb drags
or Bonneville as of yet.

...but some day!

 

Paso by far, just plan your hotel a year in advance .

 

HAMB Drags! Hands down winner!

 

BilletProof gets my vote, although Midnight Mass is a close second.

 

Jalopy Showdown Drags Sept. 29th

 

Speedweek at Bonneville (truly amazing, can't be beat in my book)
California Hot Rod Reunion
Ranch Run
Viva Las Vegas
Big Three Swapmeet

 

HAMB drags--cause I get to spend quality time with BobK, Hotrodladycrusr, and Roadstar---my 3 best hot rod pals

If it wasn't for that, Charlotte Autofair would be tops

 

Like these people said....

HAMB Drags... Joplin MO

I don't get it... best event the Charlotte Auto Fair?

 

Bonneville - you need to expierence it to know.

but I am really interested in the hor rod revolution, I want to make it this year for sure.

 

You must not be a swap meet guy.....

 

I seem to remember you having a pretty good time at Paso too.

 

Wow, so many. Beatersville, Road Rocket Rumble, World of Speed week at Bonneville, HAMB Drags at MoKan and the Hunnert Car Pileup.

 

CHRR is absolutly THE BEST!! Then HOTROD O RAMA. Many Many more Ide like to attend.
PASO
BILLETPROOF
PRIMER NATS
BLESSING OF THE CARS
And ofcoarse lots of East Coast meets and Texas. Someday maybe !
FEDER

 

West Yellowstone Mt 1st weekend in aug. Low key,Great driving roads,Beautiful senery.And a good mix of cars from the Northwest and calif.I think it is one of the oldest rod runs still going

 

Bonneville Speed Week ... impossible to explain ... you just have to experience it yourself ... SALT FEVER is highly contagious!

 

Yeah, B'ville is also #1 in my book. I would say 'Back to the 50's' is second place, and getting better each year. Both of these events totally exhaust you, but you're never bored!

 

Hamb Drags.............................................................................

 

Hot-Rod-Aroma in Tacoma,Wa is usally pretty good we have a couple other local smaller shows too..

 

H.A.M.B. Drags gotta be #1

#2 Would have to be the Stray Kat 500 put on by our own straykattkustoms.
Still probably the best kept secret in this part of the world.

 

Hot Rod Reunion, but only if its at Beech Bend!!
