What's your favorite car event/weekend?

I love Paso...I get a weekend out of town with the Wife and it's an excuse to get out to California...I also love the laid back vibe of the show.

 

Goodguys Indy
Ducktail Gas City
Rebel Run Lima
Road Rocket Rumble Indy

 

Pile up was a blast and I can't wait for this year. However, we're going to try the Jalopy Showdown in May. Of course that follows Autorama next weekend, and VLV the following month.

 

Radir wheel party and lead east

also Road Agents

 

1 california hot rod reunion
2 hunnert car pileup
3

4 every other weekend im out in my ride.

 

What he siad..........

 

ROAD ROCKET RUMBLE !!! by far!!
Hot Rod Reunion - Bowling Green
Pile up
James Dean

 

Lonestar Roundup

Coonass Redneck Nationals

i will make B'ville before i die.

 

If the HAMB Drags and/or B'ville aren't on your list as favorites it's because you haven't attended yet.

I am actually planning on doing this one in Aug '08 (I'm done with the Nats in L'ville for awhile) and will getting the details from SirStude next month when he comes here for a visit.

Got any inside info regarding this event you wanna share? Is it a weekend event inside the park. Sleep inside the park?

 

Where else? Dragway 42 Rock & Race July 20, 21 & 22

I'm hitting Bonneville this year for the first time, and I suspect all other events I've attended will pale in comparison. Of the ones I've experienced:

Best multi-day event: Lone Star Roundup. THE standard by which all hot rod shows should be measured.

Best single day event: Banks Gearhead Invitational. Absolutely mind-melting array of machinery.

 

Blessing, Primer Nats, Paso and our BBq's

 

it WAS the hot rod reunion in bowling green, ky. those fuckers. now, i'm just full of hate...........well, i like the ducktail run at gas city ind. too.

 

Paso, because there's so much visual variety. I also enjoy GNRS, LARS, and GG Pleasanton. Haven't yet been to CHRR -- maybe this year -- or Roundup.

 

Pile-Up just 'cuz breeder's so damned pretty in the soft glow of a chilly October sunset.

Really, I've only been to a few big events and the Pile-Up, despite the frosty stones, has a great variety of great cars. Plus it's only 45 minutes from my house.

Hey you so and so - where's my truck?!? PM me dude.

 

My favorite car event is in my garage with my boy's showing them how to work under and around a car safely all the while having fun.

 

The Indy Road Rockets Rockabilly Weekend is the most fun I've had with my pants on.

 

hey , i was wind burnt!that and my BP was prolly up a bit from the 55 beers i drank!
guess which one i am???

ps...im lookin hard mikey!!!promise!!!!

 

HRR at Beech Bend was my all time favorite, I won't follow it to Ohio though. I'm really wanting to hit the Hunnert and Billetproof Detroit this year.

 

I gotta go HAMB Drags at Mokan. Just plain noisy and fun.

 

At the present time it would have to be
(1)HAMB Drags In Pittsburgh Kansas.
(2)Tulsa Roasters Old Time Drags and Nitro Nationals In Tulsa Ok.
(3)The Cowpasture Reunion in Ardmore Ok.
(4)Whatever happens to pique my curiosity on a given weekend.
In that order,but..... I haven't been to Speed Weeks in Bonneveille or the Chili Bowl in Tulsa or The Day of the Drags in Austin or the Coca Cola Nationals in Cordova yet.

 

1 Ducktails in Gas City
2 The Cool Cars show in Louisville
3 Carl Caspers
4 Somerset Cruise

 

Very hard to choose, but narrowed it down to these, in no particular order apart from the 1st one...

Paso

Billetproof

The Asphalt Invitational/Strangers BBQ Double Header here in the Bay Area

Road Zombies BBQ (as mentioned by Cab above)

Viva Las Vegas

 

Any Vintage American Race Car or Midstate (NY) Vintage Stock Car Club event. As ya'll know, my first love are the vintage dirt track eastern modifieds. It's more fun if I have a car to race there but not mandatory. Just bench racing with the guys, swappin' lies and checking out everyone's race car turns my crank. BTW, I like to see old cars DOING something, not just being displayed.

This year I'm going to Thompson here in Ohio for the Gasser Reunion. Some day I hope to make it to MoKan. I went to Woodward in '04 and '05 and found the fluff to hot rod ratio uacceptable.

Dear,

Doesn't Newport come before Dean on your list of favorites???

 

You're right, and I did consider it, however I doubt that very many know what it is or can appreciate it.

 

HAMB drags in Joplin Mo. #1
Pile-up in Morris Il #2
North Saint Paul Mn Fridaynight history cruise every summer friday night #3

 

Without a doubt, Lonestar Round-up and the HAMB Drags-Mokan Too much fun !!!! Gary

 

Englishtown Spring/Fall Swap Meet for the parts
Road Agents Rockabilly Rumble for the show

 

SCARY LARRY'S JALOPY SHOWDOWN RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything short of the Showdown (or maybe Bonneville ) is just an overpriced weekend more suited to the California Duster and cry-baby crowd than the hot rod crowd.
