GRAND DADDY DRIVE-IN
Keep On Truckin’
The Grand Daddy Drive-In is the outdoor portion of the GNRS. Open to Hot Rods, Classics, Muscle Cars and trucks. Come for one or all three days. 2023 will have a special parking area for all Classic Trucks as part of the “Keep On Truckin” Feature Building exhibit.
The Suede Palace showcases hot rods and classic cars that are more “traditional” in their look. These amazing vehicles will give you a taste of what hot rodding was like “back in the day.”
World-class pinstripers are creating fabulous art while raising money for a worthy charity. Bring your items and for a nominal cost, get it striped by one of our artists.
O’Reilly Auto Parts stores are located throughout the US. Check your local listings to see a store near you. If there is not an O’Reilly store near you, you can always purchase the discounted ticket voucher at an O’Reilly store in California just before you get to the show.

When is the best day to come?
Every day is a great day! Friday has less foot traffic and is great for those who want to avoid large crowds. This is the best day to meet many of the vehicle builders and car owners. All weekend the grounds will be filled with our outdoor “Grand Daddy Drive-In” cars. These cars will fill in between the buildings to give our guests an outdoor car show along with the indoor car show. This is a rain or shine event.
