Goodguys 21st Grundy Worldwide Insurance East Coast Rod & Custom Car Nationals
Friday
Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MAFriday, June 15, 2012
My buddy Charlie and I went to the 21st GoodGuys East Coast Nationals on Friday and Saturday in West Springfield, Ma. It was the 1st year at this new location after being in Rhinebeck, NY for many years. The New location meant just a 40 mile round trip instead of 200+ miles. The show was held on the Big E (Eastern States Exposition) grounds. The final count on Saturday was 1100 cars and they were spaced out over the spacious grounds which meant LOTS of walking and the ensuing Old Guy Pains each night. We saw lots of cars that we've never seen before, met up with old friends and made several new ones. I met another HOTRODHOTLINE event photographer, Dave Guttman and his Wife. We also met up with Tom Poremba and had to force him to have a beer with us, so much so that he got a couple more after we finished the 1st ones. Great spending time with him and some other guys, and making plans to meet at the Syracuse Nationals next month. The weather was Perfect and everyone had a great time; we're all hoping that GoodGuys has found a new home for the East Coast Nationals for many years to come!
