The Goodguys 34th All American Get Together
By Tony Huntimer 3-25-16 Fun! Rain or Shine! Unlike the Goodguys Street Machine Nationals in Columbus, Sunday is always a good turnout in Pleasanton, CA…unless there’s rain in the forecast.

Goodguys 33rd All American Get-Together at Pleasanton

Goodguys 2014 Autumn Get Together in Pleasanton
I don’t usually start an article with a point of contention, but I’m going to do it this time. When I go to the Goodguys show and autocross, I want to see a bunch of eye candy and form over function Pro Class ingenuity on the autocross, my Lateral-G (and Pro-Touring) brothers and sisters, awesome vendor hardware, and a good corndog!
