    I'm trying to compile a list of awesome events that feature traditional styles cars. Either static or racing. These will be displayed on a interactive map with a little information for each show.

    Here is what I am working on.

    https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zm4BEo-LzFVw.keKM0boO_GPA

    After looking at the list, please add here what you don't see.

    Thanks for any help.

    If your going to make a list might include location and date approximately if set annually.
    Just saying cause this is a great idea but a couple of these I haven't heard of.

    There are quite a few around here in the Southern California area that are pretty hardcore traditional-type events, but are typically invitation-only. Since they aren't open to the "general public", do you want them on your list, too?

    I was going to suggest the All Deuce Run in late May but some of the cars are not traditional. HRP

    LARS not so much. The show itself is roadsters ONLY and there are a bunch of rules including shiny paint. You can get into the preferred parking/swap area though. Many times that area is the best.

    Please take a look at the map and look at waypoints for

    The race of Gentle man
    the east VS.west flathead run
    Hot rod Fall out

    https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zm4BEo-LzFVw.keKM0boO_GPA

    there are also a few more i have completed.

    I have started filling in brief descriptions and links to the event page if possible.

    What do you guys think?

    I just got a bunch filled in.

    Let me know what you think. Is this working for you? I'm also planning on adding a layer for major swap meets. But we'll get to that later.

    If you know what weekend a show falls on reliably vs. current years dates, that would be better. I don't want to remake this every year.
