Hey guys, I'm gonna be in Maine during the third week in August. I'm just wondering if there's anything cool happening in the state during that week? Any must see hotrod shops? cruise nights? shows? swap meets? etc. I don't get any real opportunities to dive into the traditional car scene around my neck of the woods. Thanks, Steve
These are every week. starting about 4 pm. Nicks Bangor union st near airport wednesday Renys Plaza rt 1 and rt 3 Belfast fridays Gardiner rt 201 Anslies market exit 49 off 295, east about 4 miles. thursday
Owls head for sure, what George said up above and winter port drag way Gassah Guys weekends, al real blast and lots of old cars racing the 1/8 mile. The Gardiner meet at Ainsley's is the best. Backbay Customs in Portland does some awesome work, you can check out their website. Don't forget to get a Lobster roll at Sarah's in Wiscasset or the lobster salad at Marriners in Camden....unfriffinbelievable!
We're camping at the Hebron Pines Campground the weekend of the 17th. Its the 40th year that DownEast Streetrods have held this event. There is a car show on Saturday.
Bentley's had 240 cars one Tuesday eve last summer, always fun and they offer a deal to the car owner too.
We'll be floating around for sure....depending on what's happening, I can make a trip anywhere in the state.
If in Bangor, stop at Dysarts Truck Stop for the trucker's breakfast. That was a Sunday morning ritual when I went to Orono. If you are looking for twisty roads then try Rt. 17 out of Rumford to Oquossoc, then Rt. 4 down to Farmington. Be sure to stop at Height O' Land overlooking Mooselookmeguntic Lake on Rt. 17, its a beautiful sight right now, spectacular in September when the leaves turn.
If you plan on coming to the Sebago Lake region feel free to send me a PM or e-mail... Other Maine cruise nights; Bridgeton on Weds Cumberland on Tues Blast form the Past, Waterboro Fridays Trolley Museum in Kennebunk, they even have a Divco type truck rotting away off to the side.
To me the Downeast Street Rod event Aug 18-19 is a don't miss!!! If all goes well I'll be camped by the pool... stop by Pontiac Slim PS Marcia Things not going so hot .... IF I make Hebron we'll talk
