The official name was the 6th Bridgestone Nashville Nationals but it was a GoodGuys event. These guys are the biggest in the business on putting on car shows, twenty one events throughout the nation. About three days before the event I thought I’d give it a shot and emailed GoodGuys asking for a press pass, expecting no reply, these guy are big time and they’re busy. But a pleasant surprise was on my email the next day. The email said something like; Love your website your press packet will be available at the Marriot convention center after 1:00PM on Friday. For the several days I felt important. Thanks GoodGuys!!

GoodGuys events are open to only pre 1972 American made cars and it’s the place to be seen when it’s in your region of the country. One of the coolest things is the recent addition of an autocross at most GoodGuys events. This has added an action dimension and has added a whole new group of cars, the Pro Touring car. It also has given the show cars guys a place just see how their cars will do.

I’ve included a couple of short videos of a couple of guys just having some fun on the autocross course.

Beware of cute girls showing a lot of skin (EMMY) asking you to sign up for a drawing for a free trip to Hawaii. Later that week I learned the fine print said I had signed to have my house vinyl sided. My brick house just doesn’t look the same anymore. EMMY was a little hesitant about posing at first but I think she was only conning me again. She jumped in and hit some of the cutest poses I’ve ever seen. EMMY is student at the University of Tennessee majoring in hustling, only joking, marketing.

The car Emmy is posing with is a 1929 Ford Roadster owned by Bob and Kathie Roush (no relation to Jack) from Upper Arlington, Oh. The particulars a listed on the gallery page
