10th Annual Hot Boat & Custom Car Show Feb 23 & 24th, 2018 Jack Smith Park Needles Ca.

[westair]

You know, If this event was closer, and longer, I'd be more apt to attend. When I've done the California Hot rod Reunion in Bakersfield, I tow in and set up Thursday morning, with the racers, and stay until sunday night. It seems worth it.
I have an observation on most car shows/boat shows, in general. The "trophy" part of most shows that award trophys, kill the very spirit of being an enthusiast.
Anyway, I tell event organizers that my stuff is NOT in competition, when I've been at events. I think what I have is cool, regardless of accolades, I'm happy, and that's enough for me.
I just can't justify towing all the way to Needles unless I'm going to stay there for more than the 1 or 2 days anyway. Parker has always been my favorite...but I won't go for less than 4 days. O.K., call me weird.

I know quite a few of these guys come in from all over, out of state, and are there for the week at Jack Smith campground next to the park. Then I think its the week following the show they get together and are out running their flatbottoms or whatever on the lake ..
