dion · 10-09-2002, 11:25 PM

Once a month we have a Hot Rod Show/Swap Meet at our main Stadium. There are always many Chevy's there. I show mine almost every time.

paintpyro · 10-10-2002, 01:45 AM

Hey muscletruck, dont forget Giovannis in Fullerton thursday nights (Harbor/Imperial), Donut Derelicts every Sat morning in Huntington Beach (Adams/Magnolia)

riden2low · 10-10-2002, 02:26 AM

Up at Long Beach, Wa, "The end of the world run" About 3,000 cars, rods and trucks showed this year. The week end following Labor Day. For years it was on Labor Day week end but it had to be changed for all the people going up for the last camping,fishing, and partying ( collage kids)for three days. So it was moved. And so did the parties. Small Coastal Town that would take you no more than 5 minutes to drive from one end to the other, but on that week end an hour is doing good.

Pont · 10-10-2002, 04:05 AM

Grants Pass, OR (Southern Oregon)

1 big cruise a year around the 3rd week of July but nothing to write home about. Roseburg, OR (about 1 1/2 hours North of me) has a very decent cruise around the first week of August I believe. Worth going to if your in the area. Other than that, I will be traveling either North or South for one of the West Coast meets, depending on where we all plan on meeting.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-10-2002, 09:57 AM

Hey Alex
Pittsburg CA is not far from Pleasenton so I hit the Good Guys shows. Now and then theres a small show at the local fair grounds in Antiock.

NSANE68!!! · 10-10-2002, 10:23 AM

Pheonix AZ, Truckin Nationals, Sponsered by Truckin Magazine, and lots of other press coverage. This event is HUGE!!
It's Oct 19,20th this year, but is an annual event.

fastbagged68 · 10-10-2002, 02:52 PM

Brentwood, i try and go to all the Good Guys Pleasanton Show to look at the girls and some cars.

hjalbert · 10-10-2002, 04:21 PM

umm phoenix, dont know what goes on here yet though, just grease in my parking lot so far. right now i would be embarrassed to drive my truck to a show. (not really, just wouldnt want to show all the pansies what real men drive) (read gunrack, four colors)

CoryM · 10-10-2002, 07:26 PM

gabet40 · 10-15-2002, 01:04 PM

im not far from pleasanton either, wear my board shirt every show. matter of fact theres a show comin up on Nov. 9-10. (http://www.good-guys.com/events/even...entID=AGETOG02) i probably wont drive my truck up there though and dont have an extra $50 if we decided to do some kind of last minute get together in the show, but its still accepting registrations if you guys want to.

but im willing to drive any distance if we could get everyone to put in their .02. i havent had time to watch the board lately so almost completely missed this post

but im still getting a list together for the early June 2003 show in Pleasanton. i talked to a Good Guys rep and he said if we all just call at the same time on the same day (early february) well be placed next to eachother, cuz theres no way to reserve a section just for us. so anyone who hasnt email me so i can put your name on the list and email you when we get closer to the date with new info

Big69C20 Toy · 10-15-2002, 01:41 PM

well Slam and the other cali boys nailed the events i know of. But i'm up for something as long as i'm in town

71MoneyPit · 10-15-2002, 07:36 PM

we have a Pretty Big Cruise here usually the 14 thru the 16th of June (Medford Cruise)we have Red Light Drags at the Southern oregon Dragway on friday, the show and shine is sat. morning and the Cruise is that night.

we have other smaller ones around the Rogue Valley during the year but the Medford Cruise is the big one for the year, we had close to 700 cars here this year I think.

Just over the Cascades to the East in Klamath Falls they have the Klamath Kruise about a week later. It's usually a pretty good size.

Project1970 · 10-15-2002, 08:00 PM

NSANE already mentioned the Truckin' Nationals...

It's not really the same, but the big Barrett-Jackson car auction is in Scottsdale every January...plenty of HIGH dollar vehicles go across the block there.
