Choices…choices…choices.

It’s mid-September and what I call the triple S is revving up big time.

September Show Slam.

The car show and cruise-in fun is at it’s busiest level for the next 4-8 weeks, depending where you live the USA. This is brought on by super nice weather for the most part. Cool mornings, warm days and pretty dry too.

Some people have said they don’t like it that there are so many events on the same day. We say embrace it and pick the event you really want to go to and go have fun. Why be upset…ENJOY the options you have.

Why not go to an event that you have never been to before.

It may become your new favorite event or cruise. On top of that, you will meet some new gearheads and that may become a long lasting relationship for you.

gearhead

A lot of car clubs and organizations take advantage of this time of year to plan their events. The weather ensures a good shot of success for getting the event in, and they know too, that with colder weather coming, us gearheads want to have as much fun as possible before it does get cold and heaven forbid…SNOWS!

This is where the choices come in at.

For the next few issues of the Gearhead Gazzette, the pages are going to be stuffed full with more gearhead fun than you can have in one weekend, even if you did a car show and cruise night each day.

Speaking of shows and cruises, it’s never to early to start sending in your 2017 event info. We already have quite a bit. We are already sharing some of the 2017 show info on our website in the CAR SHOW area. We list events for the next 6 months, so if your event or swap meet is in January, February or March of 2017 and you do not have it listed with us, you are missing out on a lot of gearheads seeing it today.

Email us the info at gearheadgazzette@gmail.com Now pick a show and go have fun!

Keep that right pedal....FLOORED!
