Speed Gone Wild was a WIN!
Despite the rain making a very unwelcome appearance at times, Speed Gone Wild Weekend at Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont on June 5-7 was an amazing success!
Over 3o cars braved early morning rain for our first-ever driving skills event at Colorado National Speedway. Times were good on a wet track early in the day, but got much better as it dried up for an incredibly fun event!
Friday night, our weekend’s presenting sponsor, Longmont Ford, held a Garage Nights event at their dealership in Longmont. Great food, free beer from Left hand Brewery and Oskar Blues Brewery made it a great evening!
Saturday morning’s Speed Gone Wild car show was a hit! We officially had over 300 cars, trucks, and motorcycles on the grass at Boulder County Fairgounds. We had to speed up the trophies a little as a small rain shower creeped in, but overall a great success!
Sunday morning was the Canyonball Run Rally put on by the Northern Colorado Mustang Car Club. 71 cars split into two groups going opposite ways on a beautiful run to Estes Park and back.
Everything ended up at Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont for the end of the rally and the end of weekend car show. Free lunch for participants, free beer and root beer from Oskar Blues, great weather and a great culmination of an amazing weekend.
We look forward to doing it again next year. Visit SpeedGoneWild.com for driving skills event times and pictures of the event!
June 29th and July 19th OutRock Car Show Reviews
Sorry this is a month late on the first one. Things have been extremely busy at ColoradoCarShow.com!
The 2nd and 3rd OutRock Car Shows of the year went off even better than the May show!
The June 29th show was hosted by the Good Times Corvette Club and was a great time! We had over 225 cars and well over 10,000 spectators show up for this event! With the Corvette Club hosting, we had over 90 Corvettes in the show! Special thanks to the show presenting sponsor – Sill-Terhar Motors in Broomfield. Jack Terhar and crew brought out a couple Maseratis, a beautiful Aston Martin, and the incredible Jaguar F-Type R Coupe. We had everything from old classics to muscle, and sports to exotics at the event. The show ended with the distribution of 36 class medals and 9 specialty trophies.
The July 19th show was also a night show and concert from the rock and roll cover band Doctor Fine. The show was another success with over 160 cars and close to the average 10,000 spectators. The military vehicles showed-up in force at this event! We had several trucks, troop carriers, Jeeps, and a cannon! The star of the military vehicles was an amazing (probably priceless) amphibious Jeep. According to the owner, this jeep is still capable of amphibious operations! The exotic class was another surprise. Avery custom 1923 hot rod won the best exotic medal. We gave out 24 medals and 5 specialty trophies. The show ran until 7pm, when the band started playing. Special thanks again to Sill-Terhar Motors in Broomfield for being our presenting sponsor, and to Douglas County Diesel/Castle Rock Auto Repair for being our concert presenting sponsor.
We look forward to the final OutRock Car Show of the summer on Sunday, August 17th, from 10am – 4pm.

OutRock Car Show – May 18th Review
The first OutRock Car Show and Concert Series event presented by the Rocky Mountain Car Club on Sunday, May 18th, 2014 was a huge success! Over 150 cars entered the show, and another 40+ cars came out to check out the event for the following months or just drove by and wanted to see what was happening. A rough estimate of the spectators who showed up over the course of the day is over 10,000. Proceeds from all four OutRock Car Shows will go to the Morgan Adams Foundation for childhood cancer research.
The vehicles that showed up were from all years, makes, models, and types. Everything from huge military wreckers, to vintage cars, sports cars, exotics, modified cars, and trucks made a splash at the show. The military vehicles were a big hit and one of them actually won 3rd place in the truck category. All registrants who came in before 10am received a free pancake breakfast from Chris Cakes. Door prizes were given away every half-hour until the 2pm awards ceremony. Thank you to the guys and gals from Fatal Creations Car Club who helped put on this show!

Denver Auto Show 2014 Review
The 2014 Denver Auto Show is under way. The show opened last night to the public and runs through the weekend. The show started-off with the charity preview party on Tuesday night. Without knowing the total number of people in attendance, we can say it was a very large crowd. The attendance has gone up consistently over the past few years. There was a fashion show, great food and drinks, and the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press presented the Rocky Mountain Car, Truck, and SUV of the Year. The car of the year is the 2014 Lexus IS250/350. The truck of the year is the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. The SUV of the year is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Also, John Elway was on-hand as an honorary chair of the event.
The show opened to the public last night. The selection of cars and number of manufacturers is impressive. Some of the newest vehicles include the 2015 Ford Mustang, the 2015 Chevy Silverado High Country, the 2015 VW GTI, the Nissan GT-R NISMO edition, and the latest from many other brands. Some foreign highlights are the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the Lamborghini Aventador, several examples from Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Lotus, Aston Martin, Bentley, Subaru, Audi, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Land Rover, and Fiat. Although the foreign vehicles seemed to outnumber the Americans, there are some great examples from Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, Buick, Ford, Lincoln, Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, Tesla, and even the MV-1.
Overall, this was a great show and we are looking forward to next year.

The City of Westminster has teamed-up with the Rocky Mountain Car Club to put on a car show at the 4th of July Fireworks Show at the Westminster City Park / Rec Center. The show will be held on the grass field right next to all the fun activities. The city does a great job organizing the event.

We expect to have 40-50 cars at the event along with some great local companies to display their goods and services. The preliminary schedule of events is: 4pm-5pm: the cars park in the designated area. 5pm: all cars must be in place. 5pm-9:15pm: car show, concert, and family activities. 9:15pm-9:35pm: Fireworks show. 10pm: leave (need to stay in place until majority of crowd leaves).
This is the first time the City has allowed cars on the grass at this event. We will have registration available by April 30th as the limited number of spots will fill up fast!
