Attending shows

[elgemcdlf]

I am curious. How far would you travel for a show?

[cep62]

I've traveled from mid Michigan to Indy,
And I've had friends go to St Ignace in our U.P.
It's at least a 4 hour trip either way.

i try to keep it under 50 miles for the cruise ins, but i regularly travel 180 for one down south and about that for one north of me. those are just once a year trips though.

Cool April Nights in Redding. 48 miles.

2x.. I try to limit at 100 miles. Way more better if there is a swap meet with the show. Goodguys Nationals at Pleasanton is a scant 28 miles.

Every other Friday btwn March and November, there is a vey loose and informal get-together at the far corner of a mall (about three miles from me) which draws a rotating assortment of about 50 cars and trucks of all types - rods, customs, street machines, restos, restomods, etc. Lots of casual passersby....We're all on an email list and get updates, news, and heads-ups on all shows within 60 miles or so. Works really well.

Hammond La, home of the CoonAss Redneck nationals is 540 one way. This will be my 10th Year....

Depends on what kinda show
It also depends on where you live. There's a car meet every Sunday about 7 miles from here. There are car meets every Wednesday night about 15 miles away and a several car meets on Friday nights.

A little under 200 miles to the F100 Supernationals.

I drive up to the Annual All Ford Show and Shine at Summit Racing in McDonough, GA from Warner Robins which is 85 miles one way.
But I've driven 100+ each way so 200+ round trip in a beetle and in a mustang once. But I like to drive so it depends on the show.

I can do July. Only been to SR once a couple years ago. I almost didn't leave.

Depending on the show. Ive drove for hours and planed vacations around certain shows.

I use to trailer my mustangs all over the damn country when I was young dumb and single. Car shows, and lots of partying. But with a wife, and kids at the house I have toned it down over the years. I will typically catch 2-3 GoodGuys shows a year now, but Im not much for anything further than 3-4 hours drive time.
