Nice old timey main street with shade tree canopy and late model yuppie amenities. It's swarming with old baldy cruisers and Harley dudes and dudettes every weekend. Why is the Good Guys' Get-Together being held in Pleasanton? Because that's where the Alameda County Fairgrounds is. This is the Good Guys' hot rod club's home court. Three Get-Togethers (all years allowed) and one hot rod show ('54's and older) every year. Although the Indianopolis hot rod Nationals and the Bakersfield nostalgia drags are more famous nationally, the Spring Get-Together is the longest-running Good Guys event. 180 Out TS 2 Well, I think that was more than Kate was askin' but OK. I think the Redding and Reno gatherings are better, but that's my opinion. >> I just be gettin' th' notices... I doan be pickin' the locales.... > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >180 Out >TS 2 Hey!

Redding? I've not heard of that one. When is it? That place is HOT in the summer. Reno Hot August Nights dwarfs anything else. The Good Guys' Get Togethers and the hot rod Nationals have expanded to include Thursday and Friday activities, but mostly they're just the usual cars and lawnchair on the grass type deal. If it's not raining on Sunday my youngest daughter and I will be down there with our light yellow '70 Cougar. We're always on the big lawn next to the double decker bus when there's room, or else way out by the Car Corral if there's not. 180 Out Redding is fairly "new" compared to the Good Guys and Reno, but it has been growing fast and BIG. We're getting the crowd in from WA, OR, ID, NV, down to the Bay Area, and getting better each year. The main is Kool April Nites coming up next month. There is a lesser one in August for Hot August Nites (hey, I didn't pick the names... ). True Redding is HOT in the summer, (so is Merced, Mojave, Bakersfield, and most other central valley cities and town) but surrounded by mountains up to 14,162' to the west, north, and east. Major lakes rec areas, rivers, and streams. Twenty minutes and you're climbing into higher elevations and considerably cooler. We've had snowstorms close the mountain highways in June and July. It's also become a big site for Spring Break for University of Oregon, and U of Washington students who come down and rent houseboats. >> Well, I think that was more than Kate was askin' but OK. >> I think the Redding and Reno gatherings are better, [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >180 Out Hey!
