The Alameda County Fairgrounds is again set to be a paradise for petrolheads as the Goodguys 37th West Coast Nationals roars into Pleasanton. Slated for today until Sunday, August 25, this gearhead gala promises a display of over 3,000 pre-millennium hot rods, classic trucks, and muscle cars, according to Patch. It is not just a static showcase. The event also features the heart-pounding CPP AutoCross, where drivers will battle it out for the Wilwood Brakes West Coast Shootout title.
The family-friendly affair isn't just about the chrome gleam and burning rubber smell. It's a full-blown festival with a bevy of activities. As stated by Patch.com, kids can dive into the fun with the Kids Zone offering arts, crafts, and games, while adults peruse a treasure trove of auto parts or potentially spot their next ride in the cars for sale corral. All American Sunday opens the field to any year of American-made or powered vehicles, adding to the inclusive spirit of the show.
The event also salutes the artistry behind these fabled machines with a Brush Bash for pinstripers and specialty indoor displays, including a dedicated exhibit celebrating the Chevrolet Chevelle's 60th anniversary. As detailed by the official Goodguys news release, the crowning event will feature the selection of the prestigious Builders Choice Top 10, handpicked by Roseville Rod & Custom.
