UPDATED | THE 2019 SHOW SEASON

Be Prepared and Make Plans Now

An abundance of amazing car/truck shows happen all across the United States every year. Because our magazine is not currently as thick as a phone book, we can only list a few of our favorites and some of the most popular from years past. If you were to hit a majority of these shows across our great nation, or at least the ones in your area, we can promise you will not be disappointed. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page, Instagram and website for other shows we will be covering as the year goes on. We love catching up with and hearing from our builders and readers alike.

JANUARY

The Grand National   Roadster Show

Jan. 25-27 • Fairplex in Pomona • 1101 West McKinley Ave. • Pomona, CA 91768

The Grand National Roadster Show is now in its 70th year. Once known as the Oakland Roadster Show, it is the longest running indoor car show in the world! Produced at the Fairplex in Pomona for the 16th consecutive year, over 500 show vehicles will compete for awards inside the Fairplex buildings. Another 400-800 vehicles will join the event Saturday and Sunday for the 14th Annual Grand Daddy Drive-In.

FEBRUARY

Lone Star Throwdown

Feb. 22-24 • Lone Star Expo Center & Montgomery County Fairgrounds • 9255 Airport Road • Conroe, TX 77303

LST has become one of the most prestigious shows in the United States. Expect everything from mass amounts of SEMA builds to first time debuts and quality builds of every dynamic. This Texas show shuts the gates at around 2,000 vehicles; register for the show and your hotels ASAP, people. It sells out. Also, be prepared for another impressive corral setup by AMERICAN FORCE again this year; those guys don’t play around.

MARCH

Orange Beach Invasion

March 15-17 • The Wharf • 23101 Canal Road • Orange Beach,
AL 36561

Spring break on the Gulf Coast—what else could you want?! Located on Orange Beach, this show is known for one of the most beautiful show setups you could ask for, as well as having all the perks that Orange Beach brings along with it. Plus, spring break weekend means you can seem like quite a parent taking your kids on a trip, when in reality it is all about seeing your friends. Be sure to stick around for all the night life this show has to offer as well!

Forbidden Fantasy

March 29-31 • Avi Hotel & Casino • 3028 Soledad Drive • Laughlin, NV 89029

No, this is not an adult superstar convention; although you may get “lucky” and see Mike Alexander get a little bit too wild one of those nights. Forbidden Fantasy is one of those shows that goes without saying that it will be a good time. Nevada shows don’t play around; just go to it. Genuinely, there are no good excuses to miss it. Side note, the hotel and casino layout is insane perfect for kicking back and having some post-show fun.

APRIL

Layd Out at the Park

April 12-14 • Cherokee Park • 3075 Floyd Hall Road • Morristown, TN 37814

Featuring a variety of vehicle classes to compete in, thousands of custom cars and trucks, totally tubular vendors, food, bodacious music and more, it’s going to be a totally tubular car and truck show! It’s time to show off them details!

Mini Truckin Nationals

April 26-28 • 3340 Soco Road • Maggie Valley, NC 28751

Can’t get enough mini-trucks at your average show? This is the one you need to hit. From old builds you grew up seeing to guys giving those classic builds their own new twists and everything in between, you will see some unbelievable builds here every year. It definitely has something for everyone.

MAY

2019 LMC Truck C10 Nationals   Event Schedule

May 2-4 • Texas Motor Speedway • 3545 Lone Star Circle • Fort Worth, TX 76177

Growing each and every year, C10 Nationals is a must go for any C10 owner/fan. Bringing out the inner C10 nerd in all of us, this show gives you every type of C10 you could imagine, in every form. From crazy after-market mods to flawless stock restorations to all those little parts no one has anymore, but one person as one of each tucked into a subtle build … this Texas show has it for you. Did we mention C10s yet? But really, Chevy fan or not, this show has a lot to offer any enthusiast for the entire weekend.

Battle in Bama

May 3-5 • 2703 Battleship Parkway • Mobile, AL 36602

“Hell yeah we are eating tacos on a battleship!” What else do you need to hear?? Seriously. That happens. Run by one of the chillest guys around, the premier show of the Gulf Coast has it all—including some of the most insane pictures you could ever take of your builds. A literal battleship in the background??? Yeah, we will take it. Great weather, insane food, quality builds, awesome friendships. Don’t miss this show. P.S. Make sure to tell Craig how great his retro van build is, because not only his trucks need love.

Relaxin in the Park

May 18-19 • Arnold City Park • 2400 Bradley Beach Road • Arnold, MO 63010

This may be the first time this show has happened ever, but we can assure you with all the hype already surrounding it, it will not be the last. With builds already confirming their attendance from different corners of the US, it’s easy to see that this show will be bringing in some heavy-hitter quality, as well as a very relaxed atmosphere for vehicle owners and show goers alike to enjoy. Don’t sleep on this one; be there.

Midwest Dragfest

May 31-June 2 • Missouri State Fairgrounds • 2503 W. 16th St. • Sedalia, MO 65301

This Missouri show, run by a team of some of the most laid-back friends you will run into, has a lot to offer. Growing in numbers every year, the Dragfest is always full of surprises in the best way. One of the most chill shows we have been to in recent years, it gives friends a real chance to hang out and enjoy their passions and hobbies together. Also, be prepared for drink specials that will blow your mind at a local bar near the hotels that we will not mention by name; I promise it’s worth the trip even just for that.

Outbreak

May 31-June 2 • George H Henderson Expo center • 1200 Ellen Trout Dr, • Lufkin, TX 75904

Outbreak will return in 2019 as a second annual three day event held at the George H Henderson Expo center in Lufkin, TX.

Scrapin the Coast

June 21-23 • Mississippi Coast Coliseum • 2350 Beach Blvd. • Biloxi, MS 39531

Talk about a beautiful location. Obviously, the trucks are amazing and all of that; but seriously you should see the area people.

Make plans for it now

JULY

Camp N Drag

July 19-21 • 11677 S. State Rd. 47 • Lake Waveland, IN 47989

You have camping and you have dragging. What else do you need?? We aren’t talking about when your uncle has a few too many beers and walks into the basement wearing one of your aunt’s dresses either. Be prepared for frame dragging, spark rolling, grown ass men camping with trucks that everyone said wouldn’t ever be used for the outdoors. Camp N Drag is a big tradition for many clubs/truck builders these days, and we encourage you to find out why.

30th Custom Sounds & Tint Texas Heat Wave!

July 26-28 • 7311 Decker LN • Austin, TX 78724

You have camping and you have dragging. What else do you need?? We aren’t talking about when your uncle has a few too many beers and walks into the basement wearing one of your aunt’s dresses either. Be prepared for frame dragging, spark rolling, grown ass men camping with trucks that everyone said wouldn’t ever be used for the outdoors.

AUGUST

Slamboree

Aug. 2-4 • Grand Casino Hotel & Resort • 777 Grand Casino Blvd. • Shawnee, OK 74804

The biggest thing to happen in Oklahoma since, anything honestly. This show is nuts. No, really. If you have been sleeping in a cave somewhere and not seen any coverage of this show in the past few years, this is us telling you: Go to this show and be mind blown. The quality and numbers that attend this show will blow you away. Having one of the most organized shows in the Midwest, the only thing stronger than this show are show organizer Jimmie Broyles’ pythons. Have that man hit you with a gun show soon as you show up. Also, the casino/resort houses a ton of food options as well as fun night life/opportunities to hide from the sun.

Carlisle Truck Nationals

Aug. 2-4 • 1000 Bryn Mawr Road • Carlisle, PA 17013
