Event Coverage The 2010 Must Attend Event Calendar Post

Bump

 

Lead East sucks! Not trying to start shit...but its a true "gold-chain" event! Sorry, $10 bucks for spectator parking then $20 for spectators to get in WTF?!?!?! $150 to show your car?? F that...not my kind of gig. I hope Mel does Motor Speedway again, that was a good time! Real hot rods, drag races, live music and booze! AWESOME!

 

Hot Rod Power Tour 2010 starting at Newton Iowa Speedway June 5th and ending in Mobile, Alabama on June 12th. I am planning on doing the whole thing .

 

"Makin' Junk Run" in Toledo,Ohio Saturday June 12th 2010. Small show but great feel and good people!

 

Since Big Olds will be in California in Sept I am going to attend the Primer Nats Labor Day weekend. Question for you though...is what 6pack to go stated true?? $150 to enter your car for the weekend??

It's killing me not to be able to attend at the GREAT new location BUT BilletProof Detroit was scheduled on the same weekend as the Jalopy Showdown in York Springs PA and there is no way in hell I would ever give it up.

 

This is what I'm hopin to do in 2010...

Turlock Swap - January
Pasadena Roadsters Club Reliability Run
LA Roadster Show and Swap
Hot Rod Revolution
Hop Up RCN

A great and useful thread, I will be at the LSRU.

Do they still run the Back to Route 66 in Flagstaff AZ town fair come hot rod show?

 

im takin the year off and goin with Denise

 

Being in the midwest and not being able to travel too far out of Cleveland b/c of job and kids I would say The Spinout in Talmadge Ohio. For some reason I am most excited about that show for this coming summer. Next would be the Gasser reunion in Thompson Ohio...

 

So many I'd like to get to, but I doubt we'll make it anywhere this year.
One event I haven't seen posted yet is MSRA's Back to the 50's. That's one of my favorites!

 

You're more than welcome anytime bud

 

1-Grand National Roadster SHow

2-Lone Star Round Up

3-Jalopy Showdown

Not sure I'll be making more then the first two since I have a baby on the way and due in July. Bonneville would have definitely been on the list as it's life altering but the baby comes first and I am not sure that I am going to want to pick up and go a couple weeks after he/she arrives!

Cool, that looks like an awesome show. It depends which way you play it. Last year I worked it out to pay nothing. If you decide to come, I'll get ya hooked up. Ask BobK about it, he came this year and had a blast!

 

This is an AWESOME thread!! So many Killer events.

For the 5th year, I'll be at the NoSurf HAMB-B-Q in Abilene, KS mid-April-ish, Great Family Fun!

I'll be starting the new year in LA hitting the Peterson Auto Museum and hopefully the NHRA Wally Parks Museum.

If I can swing it I hope to drop in on Kiwi Kev as well!

Bonneville, GNRS, LARS, LSRU, HAMB Drags, Good Guys Colorado, ...... Man I'm excited for 2010!!!

Pebble Beach http://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/

August 15th 2010

 

Nobody mentioned Fall Hershey or San Diego Big 3. I know the collection is gone, but will there be a gathering and swap at the Nick Alexander warehouse ???

 

Since the only thing I have done in moderation is make money!!, my choices are very limited. The most prized event to me is the Lone Star Roundup, but a long way to go. So I am down to what I think is really $ possible. So here is my wish list. Worl-o-Wheels in Omaha---Some of the homies are talkin about going to Cool Stuffs new Tourque-Fest---KKOA in Salina-----Roadburners Gretna Days Car Show, that this year will feature more live music, bigger art show, same great Roadburners Tiki Grille Food---special feature cars---tons of cool Roadburner stylin trophys---easier registration---looks like Sunday July 18th.---H.A.M.B. Drags---Greaserama---if I can pull this off I will be a happy camper!! So many great cool events to choose from as this part of our sport has grown like the tons of newbies and revived oldies are into the mix!! ~Sololobo~

 

Here are a few South Easterners for those who might be interested:

-- Spring Grand Rod Run -- Pigeon Forge TN -- April 15-18
-- (dare I mention) NSRA Knoxville -- April 30 - May 2
-- F100 Nationals - Pigeon Forge -- May 13-16
-- Nashville Goodguys -- May 21-23
-- Fall Grand Rod Run -- P.F. TN -- September 16-19
