2024 Good Guys Nationals Columbus Day 1!

The 2024 Good Guys Nationals have officially begun in Columbus at the Ohio State Fairgrounds, and Day 1 had an excellent turnout! Despite the challenges of the location, the plan seems to have panned out and there are thousands of awesome hot rods, classic cars and classic trucks, custom machines, and even some awesome imports!
The weather gave us all a blessing, 90 degrees and sunny with just the right amount of clouds. Unfortunately the trip TO the event had it's challenges, though that's also part of the experience! For OUR chosen vehicle for the Good Guys Nationals 2024 we went with the Hot Rod Power Tour proven 1979 AMC Spirit AMX. Certainly one of the odder more unique vehicles of the era and one we have had many thousands of miles of fun with! So far so good, on to Day 2!

Here at the Syracuse Nationals they used to give away a car but now they give away $10k in tools. It kept a lot of people there until 2-3pm on Sunday because you had to be present to win. Now most folks are not staying for some free tools so Sunday’s participation is about 1/3 the amount of Fri & Sat.

I rode for a while with the Nervous Hospital truck during HRPT this year. Cool old thing. It was cool to see a bunch of stuff I also seen at Power Tour. I'm new to this whole scene and loving it. HRPT was actually the very first event I was a part of and can't wait for whatever the next event will be.

44:51 that is the absolute ideal amount of foam on that setup 👍 sometimes they have it dialed way up to conserve product by making it foam up too much and you don’t get much liquid. Pro tip: I sample all three vendor units for the best pour. Pro Tip 2: the insulated mugs hold significantly less product as the thin wall mugs so I bring one of each: double fistin, also can drink 2 different flavors that way.

😂 I was parked between the ag building remains and the barns, some how you strategically missed my 63 Buick Riviera. 😊

He saw it but was likely so jealous that he edited it out of the video. 🫣 Perhaps you will be in today’s video? 🤷‍♂️

People turned to the wagons due to them being cheaper, but now they’re not even cheap anymore.

The entire video the barracuda funny car and ramp truck way over the top on the truck wow, disabled so no walking

You Definitely need to Rent a scooter, I did for years. I eventually bought three of them (Pride Victory 10 -used $1000) over the years for myself, father and his friend. My legs work just fine but I like to pretend that only the peasants have to walk the show grounds 🤣 but the reality is there is No way a normal person can see everything in one day on foot and not hate themselves later.
