BACC @ RADwood & HooptieCon
« on: Feb 20, 2019, 12:41:54 am »


Hey everyone! Like last year, we will be going to the R A D RADwood show, but this time at Sonoma Raceway along with the 24hrs of Lemons! So there will be more than just clean 80s and 90s vehicles, but some interesting racecars too! For a vehicle entry, it's $34 with fees to enter. To spectate, it's just $20 plus fees.

Date: Saturday, March 9th, we will meet beforehand, cruise up, arrive & then begin parking up at 9:00am
Location: Sonoma Raceway
Rendezvous point for the cruise up: TBD

Please let me know if you are going! I need to let the organizers know to set aside some spaces for us to all be next to each other. :) See you there!

We're all bringing our unsightly, broken hoopties. Perfect for this show!

Nice, wish I could go

Make the trip up! :) Every car registration lets you bring a +1.

It's on the same weekend I plan to go to OnGrid at Willow Springs.

Edit: I wonder if anyone who's not going to RAD Wood is going to OnGrid, would love to see what others have done to their suspension setups.

Quick note everyone; to help ensure that we get a nice chunk of parking at the show, we are all going to meet up here at this Novato Park n Ride, just a few miles away from Sears Point, at 8:30am.

Show's in a week and a half, see you there!! :)

Rain or shine, huh... it was 95% rain, 5% shine. It was cold, wet, muddy and miserable. But what a day! There were cool cars, a Lemons race going on just down the hill, and fun times. We even had a guy from Hot Rod Magazine checking us out and taking video & stills.

First, a pre-pre-RADwood meeting with blueberry muffins at Fort Point for some cloudy glamour shots. I love my Panasonic.









Then a pre-RADwood meeting to gather everyone.



And then the show! Strange we were put in a muddy gravel lot... even the VIP entries.















Chevy Sprint Turbo









BEAMS Camry All-Trac







Honda Beat





Countach









Fiat X1/9





A unicorn 240SX



And now, the Hooptiecon Lemons Race. Jay Leno was out there racing too!











CELEXUS84 himself!













What a day it was.

Yeah it was pretty good! CELEXUS84 wasn't out there the entire time, not sure why. The other Celica and Supra out there were pounding out lap after lap.
