heading over !

Well I hope to be heading over to the US. this year, I have a couple of Questions, what time of the year are the best truck shows & where ?

The plan so far is spend a week in Sacramento CA with friends then ?

I do want to get to Tennessee to see some rock bouncers [buggys] & mud boggin & some live country music.
So if you guys can recommend anything else that would be great!!

thanks Jeff

Most shows are in the summer time, but there are a few in the spring time. Most shows will have some form of posting on the internet as to when and where they will be.

Summit Racing in Tallmadge, Ohio, has a cool show called the Summit Truck Fest every year. I haven't seen the dates yet for 2013, but I'm sure they will post the info soon.

Good luck on your trip! Take lots of pics!

Where are you traveling from? Welcome to the US!

Dennis Carpenter has a good list of shows for this year. Dennis Carpenter Show Dates

The closest one to Sacramento (I used to live there) is the ANAHEIM SHOW F100 WESTERN NATIONALS

I now live in Idaho and there are 'no shows' anywhere close (Boise, Salt Lake City, Portland, Seattle) NaDa, nyet, no.

Maybe I need to sponsor one!

If you are in Sacramento there are some shows nearby.

5-5 All American Truck show, Redwood City, CA
7-13 Classic Car Show, Redwood Church in Castro Valley, CA
10-6 Horses to Horsepower, Redwood City, CA

Those are only the shows I'm participating in, I'm pretty sure there's more in Northern California if you Google search.

Enjoy your stay!
