Cruising around this weekend in the Lotus with the windows down, RPM’s up reminded me that with beautiful weather now prevalent across MOST of the states (sorry northerners!) there’s going to be some fantastic shows this summer across the northern hemisphere. Conveniently for you we’ve compiled a number of them right here on our own little Hooniversal calendar.
Some of the May highlights include:
- Granny Groses Busses May 13-16 in Beavertown, PA – one of the largest east coast Aircooled VW campouts
- 24 Hours of LeMons May 22-23 in Kershaw, SC – this truly needs no explanation
- Gravity Park Rally May 29 in Chilton, WI – SCCA rallycross and coefficient 1 rally events, all indoors!
There’s many more so swing by the calendar and check to see what’s going on in your area the rest of the month.
And don’t forget to drop us an email on the tips line at ti**@********se.com if you have a cool show/cruise night/swap meet around your neck of the woods this summer. We’ll make sure to post it up for all to see.

Thanks all – will post up.
St Paul MN at the state fair grounds, June 18-20, the Back to the Fifties Weekend. Its huge show with pretty typical hot rods and street rods and whatever else kind of rod you want, but of the multitude of cool metal that somehow looses its value all crammed in the fairgrounds, about ten percent of the stuff there is batshit crazy, wtf hooniverse-type stuff. The show goes from the dawn of the car to 1964 (but no mustangs).
Also the contact us link or whatever its called on the calendar page didn't work for me, maybe that was just me though.
Don't forget the Larz Anderson lawn events

I've been wanting to make it to Gravity Park in Wisconsin. Rally isn't a popular series in the southern half of the state. I'd like to see how the better half live.
The weather in Austin is thisclose to past nice. Friday was already hot, and this weekend was nice enough, but I think this week is supposed to be mid-nineties. I am by no means complaining; last year it was already ten degrees hotter.
Austin American-Statesman Car Expo is this weekend and I am going to sit in a Raptor for the first time. Also, a 5.0 Mustang god willin'.
Anyone in Indiana? Free next weekend? http://www.midwestmusclecarchallenge.com – The inaugural event, so let's get some hoons there to help make it a success.
It's within an hour of Indy (to the West) – and it looks like it could be super cool.
Ugh! I'd love to but it's track day at Summit Point. WOOHOOO!
That seems like quite a drive, if you were really thinking of hitting up the Midwest Muscle Car Challenge.
I'm going to try to make it. Just checked the participant list and Mark Stielow is going to be racing. Should be awesome.
The thought of tastefully modified (no chassis cars allowed) muscle cars attempting to tear up a road coarse makes my hair stand up. The sound shall be glorious! I'm not happy about them removing the drag racing portion of the event though…. not happy at all.
I love spending time in minneapolis. There is so much great stuff to do!
