Goodguys Rod & Custom Association Looks to the Centennial State for the 27th Griot’s Garage Colorado Nationals.
Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, the world’s largest hot rodding group and producer of America’s Favorite Car Show, is excited to welcome over 2,000 classic cars and trick trucks to the Mile High State for their 27th Griot’s Garage Colorado Nationals September 5-7.
The Griot’s Garage Colorado Nationals takes place at The Ranch Events Complex in Loveland, just north of Denver. Specialty vehicles built in and before 1999 are welcome, including vintage street rods, muscle cars, customs, and Pro Touring street machines. On Saturday, participants get to compete for a regional finalist position in the Goodguys Top 12 of the Year Awards presented by BASF, including the Snap-on Muscle Car, LMC Truck (Early), and Griot’s Garage Muscle Machine. There are also over 80 other unique awards up for grabs, including the Builders Choice Top 10, being selected by renowned local builder, Eric Peratt with Pinkees Rod Shop.
The Family Fun Weekend offers plenty for kids to enjoy, starting with the Auto World Family Fun Zone, filled with games and crafts, a free Model Car Take-and-Make activity, and a model car display. When the kids are finished, they can hunt for parts and collectibles at the swap meet and even find a new project to drive home in the Cars 4-Sale Corral. Exciting racing action runs all three days on the Goodguys Autocross, where drivers compete to qualify for a spot in Saturday afternoon’s Western States Shootout. The show and additional racing continue on Sunday for all years of American-made or powered vehicles, with a chance to race in the All-American Shootout as part of the Meguiar’s All-American Sunday. So, be sure to drive your newer Mustang, Corvette, or Challenger out on Sunday!
For anyone eager to kick off the hot rodding weekend early, Goodguys is hosting a Cruise to WyoTech on Thursday. The cruise will depart from the Embassy Suites in Windsor at 9:30 a.m. for a scenic drive north to the WyoTech Trade School campus in Laramie, Wyoming, where you’ll meet students and faculty, tour the school, and enjoy lunch.
