But why Pleasanton ????

Why is it called Pleasanton? Well it is a pleasant town. 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.

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.

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... ).
