Our friend and roving reporter Dean Court went to the Good Guys 25th Pleasanton event this past weekend and had an unexpected award ... During some of the ceremonies the crowd was asked how many of them had attended ALL 25 years of the event ... about 20 stepped up ... impressive... then they asked how many drove the SAME CAR to all 25 ... Well Dean Court was one of just a handful that fit the bill and was given a hand and some Good Guys Goodies.... Congrats Dean... we know you’ve had fun each and every one of those 25 years.

We heard from Dave Schuab today as he embarks on his latest challenge... 49 States in SEVEN DAYS .... Dave did a great job making 49 in 9 a few years ago to benefit Ronald McDonald House and so he had to “up the ante” this time by shortening his time by 2 days. Dave will start the trip Sept. 10th in Terry, Maine. We’re proud to be a sponsor again this year so look for that big Hotrodhotline logo on his rear deck. You can follow the trip at www.49in7.com
