Fallbrook Country Car Show
Fallbrook, CASunday, October 2, 2016
At 6:00am you drive with your lights on. You’re following someone because you have never been there before. You turn onto a single lane road. In about a quarter of a mile, you see a forest is on your right and a lake is on the left side. As the morning light begins to shine some light on the flourishing landscape, your first thought is, “Is this a golf course?”
You’re then directed to leave the road and drive over the lush green grass to your parking spot. 250+ hot rods and classic cars were parked on the grass inside the Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens, 18 acres of first-class botanical gardens surrounding a Victorian estate and the luxurious Beverly Mansion.
This was the 1st annual Fallbrook Country Car Show, hosted by the Fallbrook Ag boosters. Meguiar’s and Jack Powell were proud sponsors of this event. Special guests included local long-time resident and drag racing legend Dode Martin and the fire breathing extreme hot rod called “Wild Thang." The music was provided by Brett Harrell and his High Energy Sound Machine. There was food, beverages and some unique grounds to enjoy lunch. The handmade trophies were awarded to deserving cars and there was a cool “JR” class for 21 and under.
From the looks of it, this inaugural edition this event will be followed by many more.
