Hot August Nights 2024 - anyone else going?

[Dean Jenkins]

I'm optimistic that my 68 el Camino will be road worthy by summer and I registered for Hot August Nights in Reno, 8/4/24 - 8/11/24.
Have a buddy with an enclosed trailer that we will haul the car in.
The Hot Rod Power Tour is on my bucket list, but it is so far away. Starts in Bowling Green, KY this year. That is 2400 miles away and is in June, then you drive ~ 1000 miles on the tour. I won't have time to shake down the car before then and it makes me nervous. Maybe next year.

Reno is much closer to me, 1200 miles, plus I'll trailer in and just do the evening cruises. Much more practical.

Anyone else thinking of going? It would be great to meet some of you fine folks in person.

It's about a 7 hour drive, but I don't know if I will go. Not having my own rig to show off makes it a lot less likely. I'm glad you will be going and I am going to think about it.

My first time going was 1993. I go pretty much every year - although it has been several years since I had a car there. Barring any unforeseen circumstance - I will be there this year too. It would be fun to say "Hi"...
