Event Coverage where are we going 2023

you need to get better stuff.

 

I'm trying to get rid of my stuff so I can get better stuff to put on my car

 

Since I want to trade my hot rod for something more comfortable (happy wife-happy life), I’m going to hit as many local and semi local events as I possibly can with my “for sale or trade sign “ on the windshield. So I really appreciate this thread for the listing of shows and events.

 

I figured you didn't want to sell your good stuff.

 

Charlotte Auto Fair (Vendor)
Knoxville NATS (Participant)
Steel In Motion
York NATS (Participant)
ONSI (Participant)

...and whatever I run across that I can squeeze in my schedule. I usually find out about stuff AFTER the fact though.

 

Where are you going in 2023? That is the question. Well, as a wise man once said I’m going off the rails on a crazy train. Heh heh.

 

The for sure list:
Rumblecat's Rally in the Alley
Conroe Swap meet
Chickasha pre war swap meet..
Hotrod Showdown 5
Prewar Pileup if they have it this year.
Riviera's Roast

The maybe list:
Lonestar Deluxe
Invasion
Pistons and Paint
Cruising the Coast
Lonestar Roundup -Disclaimer. The show is good, swap meet is good, but the city has a huge theft, drug and homeless problem and police not caring about it due to defunding. If the show was anywhere else I would probably put it on the for sure list. Only reason I go normally is friends who haven't gone want me to go with them and show them the ropes.

Events I wish that would happen or come back around.
Moonshine Run in San Antonio
TROG in the south.
Bayou Roundup

 

Always enjoyed & for sure appreciated the Speedway Motors monthly Saturday coffee cruises, just an hour's drive & always a big gathering, can be home by mid-day unless I tour the museum, or someone has a garage tour invite.

 

I've been considering this for a while. It would be an overnight or two possibly but not a killer on seat time.
Would love to see the museum and cars from the area.
To see the 4 banger Plymouth that Rick Fox built with the yblockhead and half of a Hilborn FI would be worth the trip just by itself.

 

Since the new Tax every thing, Iola my be thin on vendors. New rules up in Wisconsin

 

The Roundup, Stray Kat 500, The Gathering at the ROC.

 

I may also be traveling down the road and flirting with disaster.

 

May is Vintage Torque Fest in Dubuque, great show, really fun entertainment Friday night
June is Back to the Fifties, too complicated to take a hot rod anymore, but fun to see that many cars.
July is Leadsled Spectacular in Salina KS, really fun show, usually unbelievably hot, but worth the effort
Mississippi Mayhem is back this year outside LaCrosse WI, another fun show, that is just the right size.
Those are for sure, maybe a Bonneville run just for fun.

 

Asphalt Angels
Spring Carlisle
All 32 Run
ONSI (I hope)
Fall Carlisle and Hershey

I will fill things in with cruise nights, garage visits, and anything else that tickles my fancy!

 

Tri-State Swap meet this weekend in Denver!

 

well we are booked for the USA September/October
just found some special fares for that time at $1375 each return
USA here we come

 

GATHERING AT THE ROC...there will be others but really, this is the only show that matters to me anymore.

 

The only thing I'm REALLY shooting for is LLOYDaPALOOZA or what ever were calling it now. Anything else I'm just wing'in. I plan to start driving next month so I can make it to Lloyds by October Mitch

 

Mooneyes Yokohama - will probably enter my 34.

 

That's about the right time for cruisin the coast of you happen to find yourself near the gulf coast. Worth checking out!

 

LARS and the ROC

 

Lloydfest! Brush up on your corn hole skills, rumor is, there's gonna be a helluva tournament, winner take all lol

 

Lloyd, if I bring my wife, the "bag champ", there will be some folks going home alot lighter in the wallet.

 

I get some flack from local guys, because I dont take my car to the wednesday night cruise in, but I'll drive 10 or more hours to a national event, so I think I'll try to attend more local stuff this year

I'll go to hershey, maybe for a day, maybe for 2, and because Ive heard great things about the show this year I may need to enter my car in HPOF 2023.

I do plan to attend The National Woodie Club's event in Mystic Conn.

and I would really like to attend IOLA, as well as the cleveland autorama, but both will be a last minute decision.

 

San Luis Roadsters 43rd Annual Run in May. Two days of roadsters, coupes and sedans trotting around SLO county.

 

Probably going under the knife for my back. Getting old really sucks.

 

Hoping to attend the Turkey Run in Daytona.

 

Lined up to have some fun in the roadster at this event.
