NorCal Car Show Swap Meets & Races – August 28 – September 4,

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi,

This past Saturday we were able to go to Reno and be a part of the Hot August Nights Event Series Grand Finale. It was a fantastic show with some very nice cars. There were around 60 cars from all the Qualifying Events plus a Show n Shine with about 200 cars. Deny Dotson, the new Executive Director of Hot August Nights, has done a great job with this new Event Series and I’m sure it will get bigger and better every year.

The Grand Champion Award with the $5,000 prize and the featured car for the 2024 Hot August Nights went to Greg Bonney from Spanish Springs, NV and his absolutely beautiful 1956 Chevy Nomad. Greg actually qualified by winning the Townsmen Car Show in Loomis back in May.

Of course, I was rooting for our Northern California cars and they all did very well. Kenny and Kelly Loeffler qualified at the Freedom First Car Show in Citrus Heights. Their 1967 Camaro was First Runner-Up in the Stock Classic category.

Craig Coulter from Fair Oaks was the Qualifier from the Justified Performance Car Show in Rocklin. Craig’s gorgeous 1959 Chevy Impala was the 2nd Runner-Up in the People’s Choice category. The top three were all nice but I definitely would have voted for Craig’s car!

There were several other Northern California cars there and they all looked great. Here is Barry Edmiston’s super clean 1957 Olds Super 88. He was the winner at our Hot Rod Bookstore Cruise-In.

Charles and Janis Webster were there with their 2006 Shelby GT. Charles is the new president of the Townsmen Car Club and he also won a large toolbox from Summit Racing.

Dave Hawkins from South Lake Tahoe was there with his 1994 Chevy S-10 Pickup. It is one fast little truck with a LS3 engine.

Sieg Volti from Markleeville, CA and his flamed 62 Chevy Nova was there as well! He was the winner of the Day in Paradise Car Show in Lake Tahoe.


I want to say thanks to all of you that joined our American Car Culture Association or subscribed to our newsletter this past week. We literally couldn’t produce these newsletters or maintain the website without your help!

As always, I do want to stress that our NorCal Car Culture website and newsletter are both totally free, but, if you are in a position to do so, we very much appreciate your support! Our 2023 NorCal Car Culture Subscription price is $30 a year, which works out to only $2.50 a month.

We will be very busy the next few weeks going to Car Shows all over Northern California. If any of you would like to join us, it would be great to meet you in person. Here is where we will be:

On Saturday, September 2nd, we will be at the Santos Family Car Show in Alviso.

On Sunday, September 3rd, we will be at the C/10 Intervention in Woodland with my friend Art Wong, from Maita Motorsports. We will be set up in front of the Bank at 283 Main Street.

Monday, September 4th is Labor Day and we will be at the Louie Luau Car Show in Citrus Heights to present the award to one of the first 2024 Hot August Nights Event Series Qualifiers.

Friday, September 8th we will be up at the last Auburn Cruise Nite of the year. We will probably be hanging out with the guys from Justified Performance.

On Saturday, September 9th, we will be in Fairfield at the big Ball Metal School Supply Drive Car and Motorcycle Show. This is also a Hot August Nights Event Series Qualifying Event.

Then on Saturday, September 16th, we will travel to Placerville for another Hot August Nights Event Series Qualifying Event, the Automotive Excellence Annual Car Show.


After attending the Grand Finale, I am more excited than ever to be working with Hot August Nights on their new Event Series.

As I have said many times, I think it is a fantastic deal for all Car Show Promoters to be part of a cool program and get a lot of extra publicity for their shows for only a $20 investment. We now begin a new Event Series to compete in 2024!

Car Show participants can sign up for $10 and receive a decal that makes them eligible to enter as many Event Series Qualifying Car Shows as they want for the rest of the year. The winner of each event will compete in a Grand Finale event in Reno in August 2024.

If you are planning a Car Show and would like some additional exposure, please contact me and I can steer you in the right direction. For more information on the Hot August Nights Event Series Click Here.

If you are interested in competing in the Hot August Nights Event Series please check out one of these shows.

As well as the Hot August Nights Event Series Grand Finale they also had a 200 car Show-n-Shine. Out of that 200, we chose the first two qualifiers for next year’s Grand Finale. There will be a new Truck Category next year so Deny Dotson chose this beautiful 1955 Chevy Pickup.


They allowed me to pick the second Qualifier, so I chose this very cool 1939 Pontiac Silver Streak owned by Jeff Seifert.


I don’t know how many of you have been to Hot August Nights before but they must have the greatest group of volunteers ever. This year they all wore green polo shirts and they were so helpful and they all seemed so happy to be a part of this great event. They even sent a volunteer to escort me while I was judging. Here is Bud and me after our duties were over. We had a great time checking out all the cars together.


 

 

This week, I was also able to go to Larry Martinelli’s famous breakfast at the Auburn Airport. There are always some great cars there as well as some Hot Rod Legends. Here were a few of my favorites.
