#1 Car shows

Post by Jim's 64 FHC » Fri Dec 30, 2022 1:37 am

Just wondering how many car shows you guys go to. I'm lucky we have a ton of shows and cruise nites within 40 mile radius of my home. This last summer, I went to over 40 events. I'm retired, so I have lots of time now. some are small, 40 cars most are 100-300 cars. One event was 1100 cars.
What about shows in your area? I wish I could go to uk and see some events. My grandfather was born in UK, imigrated here in 1890's. Feel like I'm British. There is even a small village in Norfolk with My family name. I don't travel well, so I'll probably never make it there.
Lets hear about your shows.

Three of our major events in Britain, plus lots of other large and small during the season.
Hill climbs at Prescott https://www.prescotthillclimb.co.uk/
and Shelsley Walsh https://www.shelsleywalsh.com/

Brooklands holds events, too: https://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/

For a small country but with a grand history of land speed records as well as Formula 1 champions we don't do too bad. Then we can go over to the continent for Spa-Francorchamps and Le Mans where they have classic events, etc.

What about cruise in type shows? For instance, we have a little bar...(Pub)...that is about 6 miles from nearest town. It has been there 100 yrs, owned by same family. On tuesday nites from 4-9pm, we have a car show. they have bands, or dj's. We get over 100 cars. We get everything from old trucks to a Lambo. It's a lot of cool people and cars getting together.. It's nice to have these, because lots of guys don't have time on weekend to spend a whole day at a show.
