\"Syracuse<\/p>\n

The Syracuse Nationals, put on by the Right Coast Association<\/a>, is one of the largest car shows in the East Coast, held at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse, NY.<\/p>\n

The show features a car corral, swap meet, and acres of vintage vehicles from hot rods to stock muscle cars to the hybrid in between.<\/p>\n

As part of the event, the pinstriping community comes together for Artie’s Party, an auction of pinstriped items — many done at the show — that are auctioned off to benefit the Ronald McDonald house charities. \u00a0One of the auction items is three minutes in a nostalgia funny car drag car, and that is a sensory explosion! \u00a0The winners almost always stumbled out of the Frantic Ford or Super Camaro with a giddy grin, ringing ears, and the sent of alcohol and nitro in their nose.<\/p>\n

Despite some challenging weather (blistering heat and humidity on Friday with a sudden, vigorous rainstorm), the show was a welcoming, entertaining way to revel in the classic car fervor (and learn the value of the state fairgrounds secret weapon – the wine slushie).<\/p>\n
