What are the "big" car shows you will go to next year?, 2016 version Options

[siverson]

I made it to a couple more events this year because I planned ahead (Amelia Island, Rennsport), so I thought I'd post this again for 2016. I've archived the 2015 list in a post below.

So... aside from small events like Cars & Coffee, D&Gs, and local car shows, what are the big events that you try to make every year, or you think someone should go to at least once?

Here is my list for next year. Maybe I'll make half of them.

1/23/2016 -> 1/31/2016 Scottsdale car auctions

1/29/2016 -> 1/31/2016 Pomona Grand National hot rod show

3/5/2016 - LA Literature & Memorabilia Show at LAX

3/6/2016 - So Cal All-Porsche Swap and Car Display (Anaheim)

3/11/2016 -> 3/13/2016 Amelia Island Concours

I forgot about SEMA:

11/3/2015 -> 11/6/2015 SEMA (Las Vegas)

I have been 3 or 4 times, but it's been about 6 years since I've been. Strange... my oldest child is 6 now; funny how that works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But it's a great excuse to go to Vegas.

This year I plan to hit the Rennsport reunion and a concours in Arizona (I forget the name). I would like to get back to the Goodwood Revival if time permits. Goodwood should be on every cars guys list. Best car time I have ever had. The parking lots have better and more interesting cars than any car show I have ever been to. Fly to London, play around there for a couple days (awesome) and then head down to Chichester, seeing every thing you can inbetween (you must see the Beaulieu Museum (http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/) and the Naval Yards). End with the revival - which is simply awesome - and it just doesnt get any better.



I will attend probably two local shows, but I wont bring any cars. Not worth the hassle. It's more fun just go see pals and walk around looking at stuff.

Maybe PBeach - scheduling in my little world is just so brutal anymore as the girls get older.

My main goal this is year is to actually DRIVE more!

Really just trying for RR V and WCR.

I live in a Good Guys town so 3 shows a year come to me.

[siverson]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the local-to-me Good Guys show - thanks. I'll add that to the list.

4/10/2015 -> 4/12/2015 Goodguys Meguiar's 15th Del Mar Nationals (Del Mar Fairgrounds)

I don't venture very far out.

Used to go to GAF, but they killed it. Would also like to do Sema in Vegas. I have only seen it on TV

The 356 Reunion at Dana Point usually held in July is also a very nice event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
The Concours d'Élégance is for 356 of course but a lot of 911, 912, 914s and others show up as well. The setting is classy.
