Basically any muscle or performance car. There's only one award, so were not being overrun, it's still a hot rod show. Last year a Panoz roadster took the honor.
Per capita Havasu has a lot of Hot rods, but we can't compete with dozens of towns in SoCal within a hundred miles. We're not critical, but it's getting harder to find shows with much more than a couple hundred cars. Even Run to the Sun was over 600 cars I believe, but a couple hundred shy of their record. I also feel it's only logical to raise the acceptable years once in a while. I think the surge in popularity of new performance cars is why some shows have included a few, certainly don't want any hot rod show to become a Mustang, Vette, Charger or tuner show.Getting harder to fill the shows? I will agree that we’re losing out old timers but the shows in SoCal are still thriving. We have Riverside Show N’ Go in 2 weeks with well over 1000 cars hosted by the Old Farts Racing Team car club.
The Quarantine cruise is another good example of thriving participation and a younger crowd of older classic cars.
Just to clarify are you sayin 100 miles from Havasu? ... what SoCal towns?
Sorry, not very clear. What I'm saying is, a car show in let's say Ontario Ca. will pull from dozens of towns within a 50 mile radius, and that population will probably be in the millions. My comment was in regard to having a little bit of a problem filling car shows in Havasu.
Ok yes that is very true ..... Havasu is pretty much an island out here. Still pretty cool all the nice cars I do see here, these guys look like they're all having a such a good time with their car buddies at these local shows. I'm always looking for something to buy and almost did at the Havasu 95 show but have to clear out a couple things first taking valuable space .... lol
I just got into it a couple years ago myself, bought something basically completed, although they're never really done.
If you pick up something and want to try the club scene check out Havasu Classics, we definitely need to expand. It's a family friendly club and we put on the Veterans show in November for Anderson Chrysler and are trying to get back to doing our spring show in late February.
Sounds good …. thanksI just got into it a couple years ago myself, bought something basically completed, although they're never really done.
Oh that’s cool. Dustin is a family friend and yes, a great kid. Larry was in a Mopar club with his dad back in the 70’s.
