| | What is Goodguys? Goodguys is the world’s largest rodding association with nearly 70,000 members. We provide the world’s best rod and custom events all across the country and offer an industry leading full-color, large-format (10.5”x14.5”), 200+ page monthly magazine. |
| | How do I win one those great Giveaway cars? There are two ways. First, become a Goodguys member and your name is automatically entered into the drawing. Second, participate in any of the Goodguys Show ‘n Shine events and place your Sunday Lucky Ticket in the blue barrel on Sunday after 1:30pm. At the end of the 2:22pm award ceremony, we will draw one lucky winner from that event to become a qualifier for the giveaway car. YOU MUST BE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE DRAWING TO QUALIFY! |
| | What is a Rodders Rep and how do I become one? Goodguys Rodder Rep volunteers are the eyes, ears and voice of Goodguys all across the country. They hand out Goodguys information in their area and help out with events. To learn more or to become a Rodders Rep, call Bill Goodwill at (813) 659-0596. |
Events |
| | How do I get my car into a Goodguys event? Simple, just head over to our Registration area of the site, or call (925) 838-9876 for a registration form. |
| | Do you park certain cars in certain areas? What are "special parking areas"? Yes, we do have special parking areas at select events. They vary by event, but may include areas like: Boyd’s Pros Picks, Homebuilt Heaven, Young Guys, Suede & Chrome, Mighty Muscle, Deuce Doin’s, etc. Locations vary by event too - check with Goodguys staff when you enter or just follow the signs. |
| | Why is 1972 your cut-off for cars? For the most part it is a space issue. Space at all of our events is limited and therefore our venues can only accommodate so many cars. Also, 1972 is viewed by many as the end of the Muscle Car era, and ’72 and earlier models are more easily recognizable. |
| | How do I win an award? How are the cars judged and who judges them? First of all, don’t come to a Goodguys event looking for an award; come to have a good time and have fun! We do not have “judges.” Selections are made by Goodguys staff, venue staff, members of the media, select hot rod builders, sponsors, etc. If you end up being selected, you’ll be asked to park in the Winners Circle on Sunday and to participate in the Award Ceremony. If you don’t get an award, don’t worry about it, hot rodding is not about awards, it’s about hanging out with friends and cars. |
| | Can I leave my car on grounds overnight? We do not provide security for cars left on facility grounds therefore no cars are allowed to stay overnight. |
