The GOODGUYS West Coast Nationals is one of those events, that just puts a smile on your face. It really does! The whole deal is so laid back, but yet so fun filled. It starts out with Hot Rod Week. Touring the Northern California country, checking out hot rod shops and other very cool “neat to see” attractions. Having done this in the past, there is nothing like cruising with 50 100 of your hot rodding friends to check out all this cool stuff. Nightly entertainment is always great and bring a lot of Goodguys together at night.
The hotel parking lot at the host hotel is always filled to capacity with great rides to check out. The fairgrounds are full of trees for shady places to park and walk around checking out the hot rods and customs. Add in a swap met, LOTS of vendors, tether cars, minature engine show(they really run!) and a whole lot more, just makes for a great weekend of hot rod fun. You get to do all this, but yet you feel laid back and in no hurry, but yet you want to see it all, because there is so much to see. GOODGUYS has been doing this one for 26 years just this way, and we see no reason to change now or in the future. 26
