Goodguys Rod & Custom Show 10-21-17

Iron Mike

Hey Gang! Yesterday, Chris and I went over to Charlotte Motor Speedway to take in the Southeast Nationals Goodguys Rod & Custom show. What a beautiful day! Weather was perfect and the grounds were jammed with hot rods, customs and muscle cars. Here's a few photos I took, but this is only a small percentage of the cool rides that participated.

The "grass" near the finish line isn't real this time of year.

This 32 valve mill looked right at home in the Ford.

There's something about red and black that trips my trigger.

This guy participated in the burnout contest, note the rubber flecks on the paint and lack of tread at the rear.

Hemi power works for me too.

Photography does not do this paint scheme justice.

Inside the Kids Tent, the Make & Take was underway, along with a model car contest.

It was good to see all the kids with their finished cars. :salute

Looks just like my cousin's old ride. RIP Ricky T.

The wooden speedboat was really beautiful, couldn't get a good photo angle however.

I really dug the lines of this sedan and the flames sealed the deal.

I still don't think it's the same roof line.

:D

Great picts, glad you figured out how to get them off the phone. :good:

Oh that's a 66, Mine is a 67. :coolio
 
Thanks for posting Mike . Seems like there were way more white walls than i had noticed .

Bob, even the body style is a good bit different .

Cheers, Christian B)
 
The wife and I use to drive our 40 Ford PU street rod to Indy Good Guys ever year from Missouri to Indy. (y)

Tony and Catherine.
 
I drove a 1970 Torino GT 429 to & from the University of South Ankeny. The Shortcut High Bus is awesome. Thanks for Taking the time & trouble to share these inspiring pictures. I might build a Car Model!!
 
It always gets me going when I go to a car show,big or small. The Goodguys show in Des Moines was something I looked forward to back when.
 
Thank you for taking the time to share these photos!

irst off, your wife has great taste! I love vintage 'vettes more than Ferraris!

My father had one of these and never understood why people wanted to 'soup them up' but alas, it fell victim to my '67 Pontiac Firebird. :(
IMG_20171021_120622510.jpg


My back hurts thinking about how to get in!
IMG_20171021_132152361.jpg


Nice! Did you get to hear all their engines or were some only static exhibits?

Thanks again,
