Thread: Goodguys West Coast Nationals

Tweet

Anyone going to be at the Goodguys event in Pleasanton, CA this weekend? We're flying out to visit friends and plan to be there Friday and Saturday, and may swing by for a couple of hours Sunday depending on the turnout. Looking forward to seeing some west coast machines.

This is a show I definitely like to attend,but unfortunately it does not look like it will be doable for me this time around.Enjoy!

Roger,is Pleasanton part of Noddys tour??If it is,I would think Johnboy,and she who must be obeyed will possibly be there...

Will be the first time in 15 years I will miss it. I decided to work OT instead, to help catch up on bills.

Leavin in about 2 hrs.
Drivin to Bakersfield (425 miles) spendin the night with some buddies, then about 10 car goin up from there(300 miles) on Thursday morning.
Ain't nuttin like a road trip in a roadster

we came over from Oz last year and drove From LA /Bakersfield/ Rio/ wendover for bonnaville all the way though colorado back to LA and then up to Pleasenton just for the Good Guys West coast show. It was with out doubt one of the best Hotrod shows i've ever been to, only issue was not enough time to take it all in. make sure you get there early for the best deals in the swap meet area.

now i wish i was there...................... maybe next year

Don, I'll look for your car and try to say hello!

Cranky, we're flying this trip (1850 miles), so getting swap meet stuff is probably not going to be an option for this one, unless it fits in a suitcase!

Rspears, thats easy mate, Big Suitcases

Don,
I looked for your roadster both days, and had a local guide Saturday to ensure we did not overlook any of the little side areas but never did find you. I guess I should have gotten your number to contact you at the fairgrounds. Were you in the light brown car w/yellow accents you show above, and where did you park?

Here's a link to a PhotoBucket Album with the cars that caught my fancy at the 2010 NW Nationals. You won't see Don's (DA34GUY's) roadster as I couldn't ever find him amongst all of the other cars there!!

Now I`m jealous that I missed it, had to work, not good.....but I will be at the NSRA show in Oct in Sacramento...

I was there on Sunday from about 10 til 12. Was the smallest turnout that I have seen. There were only about 2/3 the normal vehicles. Was still good just not the same. Must be the economy.

Bug,
I was there both Friday and Saturday, and Saturday had at least 20% more cars than Friday, which is understandable. Did not go back Sunday morning, but we noticed that Saturday night the parking lot in the hotel was less than 50% and had been full Thursday and Friday nights. I believe that a lot of people left at the end of the day Saturday - not sure why.

Maybe the difference for me is that I usually go on Saturdays. Maybe Sundays are always that much slower.
