The Roamin Angels’ Cruisin’ the Pines Car Show

The Roamin Angels in Grass Valley, CA.

If you have never been to the Cruisin’ the Pines Car Show in Grass Valley, it is definitely one show you should check out next year. It is held at the beautiful Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley surrounded by tall pines. It was a 3 day event, September 6th to the 8th. Friday evening was for participants only and Saturday and Sunday were open to the public. The famous Roamin Angels Car Club goes all out for this show. There were live bands, an Art Show, pinstriping, hot wheels gravity drags, a Car Corral and all kinds of raffles and prizes. I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a car show with so many different kinds of food available. It was great! All the food booths for the fair were open, I would guess at least 20. There were Car Clubs from all over Northern California with their cars on display. The whole show was extremely well planned and organized. I remember buying a raffle ticket about 10 years ago at Hot August Nights from the Roamin Angels for a free engine to be given away at their show and I ended up not going. I can’t believe it took me so long to go but I won’t miss another one.

Here are a few of our favorite photos of the show. Enjoy!

I love flatheads!
