Each year, the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association brings the Meguiar’s Del Mar Nationals to the scenic Del Mar, California, fairgrounds – right next to the Pacific Ocean. The 2018 event will be held April 6 through 8, and this 18th-Annual extravaganza promises to deliver a great time for all.
The Del Mar Fairgrounds will be full of custom cars, classics, trucks, and street rods all weekend. Whether you live for the roar of an engine or the squealing of tires trying to gain traction at the grueling autocross, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this prestigious event. And just to keep the good vibes – and tunes – going, the Republic of Music will be entertaining everyone.
As with all Goodguys events, there will be so much to do, that you’ll definitely have to spend the entire weekend at this hot happening to see and do it all. So, make your plans now by going to the Goodguys website to find out what all is happening, and then enter before it’s too late.
