Best "Traditional Rod"[edit: Hot Rod] scene?

I've never been to Austin but I'm going with Ryan on this one.

 

Red Deer, Alberta, Canada

Ahahahahahahahahahahah *wipes away tear* I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but sometimes I just kill myself I'm so funny...


I think TX or the Pacific NW have got things on lockdown pretty well... I went to Hotrodarama last summer and it was killer

 

Latimore PA, Every May!!!!

Of course it is the LA/OC Area. Kinda unfair, due to the size, but there is not a night of the week that their is not a cruise or car meet, hell, even early Saturday and Sunday meets. Some of the best shows are here, GNRS, Goodguys, Father's Day in Pomona, and so on and so on. Add to that one of the best car museums in the world, the Petersen, and the NHRA Museum, the Nethercutt Museum. Even a vast majority of the most renouned builders are here as well as the Pomona Swap and Long Beach swap meet. All of this in sunny weather about 330 days of the year. I can go on and on and usually do, but I will end this advertisement for Socal.

 

to quote one Kevin Lee, Kansas City Mo, the cradle of Hot Rodding!

 

If you're going to use a vacation trip to do some hot roddin', either pick a large nation type event and set you date for that, OR if you have to take the trip at a specific time, check all the event calenders for that time period and pick the one with the best reputation for cool cars.

 

I know where it *ain't*................South Jersey Shore.......sheesh! <sigh>


CB

 

It *ain't* here, either.

 

dont get me wrong i LOVE L.A. just too many scenesters and posers that end up ruining good shows, my 2cents

 

This may be a bit biased but its gotta be So Cal.

 

I toured the country in a greasy rock and roll band. I would have to say the most true to the roots traditional bonafide city I have been to is Kansas city. Ne Ohio is pretty good. Chicago sucks, even though its my Home Town. So-Cal is half way decent but there is a lot of posers.

 

people , people! you poor misinformed schmucks should know its mississippi!

 

how about a huge cross country traditional poker run - not a power tour type of thing but a fun run stopping in different towns with great,good or even ok traditional followings

 

Actually on second thought I'll retract the So Cal entry. I hear there is quite the scene in Samoa, yeah Samoa....

 

you got a lot of good points there. The weather thing has got to be one of the biggest factors.

 

I know, but I'm not tellin'.

 

Starting to sound like I might have to think about moving instead of visiting. Hopefully this thead will help people find cool events and people around where they live or places they would like to visit also. Can't wait to get outta here.

 

I'd say SoCal hands down.

It started here and has never left.

Just follow Bad Bob around here. He is proof that there are far too many hotrod related activities to do in just Orange County.

So Cal........The OC........where it all began

 

Here we go again......
