I can say I have attended one POCI convention, one GTOAA convention, and one Trans Am Nationals before. They are not to be missed. Hershey is a bucket list meet, especially if you are working on something that is from the 50s or older. It is something like 60+ miles of swap meet if you walk ever row and aisle. Spring and Fall Carlisle is huge, you never know what you will find. The GM Carlisle meet is great too. I have also done a one day stops of the Hot Rod Power Tour when there stops are in Pontiac, Kalamazoo, and Warren. I'd like to do it from start to finish though.

let us know when you come to the West Coast.

all shows here are "some day" the local ones within two hours or so are "likes to go" and Cherrys Jubilee is right here and is a "must". but also i would "likes to enter"or "enter some day" in Cherrys Jubilee since my car hasnt been entered in anything yet.

You need to work on that bud. Get out there !!

i know. but my car aint special like your car.

Meh I've been to 1 or 2. Never entered just looked around. I'm more of a track guy

You can't win if you don't enter Young Gun. All cars are special to their owners Ghost. Make it special to you !!!

There aren't too many around here, but if the annual DRIVEN show is coming back, I want to try and get the Focus in.

Been unfortunately too busy to get either of my cars in a show or look what's around this year. Think I might just lurk around some shows this year

I need to bring the Phoenix to a car show sometime. I just never know where/how lol

All cars are special to their owners Ghost. Make it special to you !!!

true and it is. but in a world full of imports and classics, more must be done to the car. hopefully my plans are enough.

Red deer, ab has a cruise night every Thursday the weather is good. Anywhere from 300-1000+ cars will gather, from may- november. I take the G8 cuz most people have no clue what it is lol, I get some strange looks while driving.
