The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association will kick off its 30th anniversary season this weekend at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona. The event marks the beginning of a year full of automotive festivals geared towards classic American automobile enthusiasts, according to a Goodguys release. With the kick-off in Scottsdale, the Goodguys promises that fans will get a close-up glimpse of the modern-day hot-rodding scene and witness how the Goodguys' core message—having fun with cars—has not changed in 30 years. The event will feature all of the attractions of Goodguys events—the AutoCross, Manufacturers Midway, model car program sponsored by Revell, and All American Sunday—that have made Goodguys events a key component of the rodding scene.
