Goodguys Rod & Custom 2019 Schedule Announced

The 2018 show season has come to a close for many, and the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association wants to give you enough time to plan your 2019 season trips. For you to that, you need plenty of notice to put in for vacation time. To help you with that, the folks at Goodguys have released the 2019 event schedule during the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas.

There will be a total of nineteen Goodguys events that will bring high-octane entertainment to hot rodders across the country. That total even includes the all-new Goodguys Great American Nationals, scheduled for August 16 through 18 at the York Expo Center in York, Pennsylvania. This will be the first time Goodguys has visited the historic venue, and anticipation is high for a power-packed weekend in Pennsylvania.

Goodguys Schedule

A classic ’55 Chevy Bel Air turns a few heads as it drives to a parking spot at the Goodguys 10th Great Northwest Nationals at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center. Some 1,500 hot rods, customs, muscle cars, and street machines through 1972 were on display.

Other significant schedule changes include the 14th Nashville Nationals. This extravaganza will go back to a three-day format at Nissan Stadium the weekend of May 3 through 5 and feature the crowning of the Goodguys 2019 Hot Rod of the Year. The 26th Southeastern Nationals at Charlotte Motor Speedway will remain a two-day National event and will be staged Friday and Saturday October 18 and 19.

All other 2019 Goodguys events are scheduled for their traditional weekends, bringing thousands of colorful hot rods, muscle cars, customs, classics, and tricked out trucks through 1987 vintage, with the exception of the 33rd West Coast Nationals in August, which will showcase 1972 and older vehicles.

Highlighting the schedule will be the Goodguys 22nd PPG Nationals on July 12 through 14 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus. Goodguys will stage a spectacular 50th Anniversary Camaro exhibit inside Cardinal Hall.  The special display will feature sixty-nine significant ’69 Camaros to celebrate the pony car’s Golden Anniversary.

The Goodguys Autocross-series continues to accelerate in participation and popularity. Autocross competition will be staged at 17 of the 19 events, with special 16-car “shootouts at most of those 17 events. The season comes to a climactic close the weekend of November 15 through 17 at the season-ending Goodguys 22nd Speedway Motors Southwest Nationals. At Scottsdale, the “Duel in the Desert” will feature the season’s fastest 32 cars in a shootout to determine the Goodguys 2019 FAST AutoCrosser of the Year.

Finally, the Goodguys Top 12 awards and the Builder’s Choice awards program return bigger and better than ever in 2019. Also, on tap are special Road Tours (Including the Goodguys Hall of Fame Tour), as well as Friday Night Vintage Drags in Puyallup, Washington.
