Car Show Bernie: 2022

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: 2022 Florida Classic Weekend

Dec 5, 2022

After the fun that I had last year, on November 18th, I returned to Orlando for my second Florida Classic Weekend.

On October 31st, I made my faithful return to Las Vegas for my 12th SEMA show.

On October 8th, I made my return to the Home Depot Backyard in Atlanta for the Whip Addict Car Show. Aside from the show was located about 20 minutes from my house, I still have no reason to complain and here's why...

On October 2nd, I attended the Georgia Donk and Old School Day. Unfortunately I missed it last year, even though I had so much fun at the first annual one in 2020, so this year, I made sure that I attended.

On September 24th, I made the wise decision to return to Indianapolis to attend MidwestFest for the third consecutive year.

Mid-October 2021, Atlanta based Krazy Vatos Car Club posted this video on their Instagram page stating that Lowrider history would be made in August 2022. But that's all they said...

Last year I was robbed of the full St Louis Summer Showdown experience, but I knew I had to come back. I stayed true to my word and on July 31st, I was back at World Wide Raceway to experience the show in its entirety.

On July 23rd, I traveled to Tampa for my first Donk Day car show. I was excited since this was my first donk show in Florida (Florida Classics doesn't count- cause that isn't truly a show. It's a three day hangout. It's a fun hangout, but it's still a hangout.) I thought I was going to see a lot of donks since I've seen past footage.

One week after the Drive Your Dreams Car Show, Street Whipz held their annual King of the South weekend.

After the success of last year's show, DJ Envy returned to the Georgia World Congress Center for the Drive Your Dreams Car Show.

Originally I planned to go to Dallas for Texas Whipfest. The airlines wanted to charge more than what I was willing to spend for a two hour flight, so I had a last minute change of plans. Instead, on June 25th, I went to my first ever HSV Junefest show in Huntsville, Alabama. I've seen footage from past shows, so I had an idea of what to expect and I knew I was going to enjoy myself.

We all know I love a good car show. However, on June 19th, I attended my first actual race at Silver Dollar Raceway. I've seen illegal street racing especially when I lived on Long Island. Stuntfest, King of the South, Texas Whipfest all have racing at the shows, but I normally avoid the racing aspect (I don't like crowds) and just stick to the car show aspect, but Street Beast VI forced me to see what racing is all about. It took me forever to make it to Street Beast, since the original 2021 date was rescheduled to the same date as Midwest Fest (and nothing can come between me and Midwest Fest).

On June 18th, Whips By Wade held his fourth annual Certified Summer Car Show, and thankfully the weather was nice.

Earlier this year, Rick Ross and 57 Freddy (I'm only going by his Instagram handle since I don't know him personally) announced that they're were going to team up and hold a car show. On May 21st, they stayed true to their word and the first annual Promise Land Car Show was held without any issues. I tend to be a little judgmental about first annual car shows because it's the first show and a lot of mistakes are usually made, the turnout isn't as great as it could be, etc. But this was different...

On April 27th, the Stuntworld guys held their famous Stuntfest weekend. So the weekend went as follows: Wednesday and Thursday, there was a hangout before heading to the club. Friday was a day party/shootout at a racetrack followed by clubbing.... which means the first three days, I was no where to be found.

I emerged Saturday, April 30th, for their block party because it's always a great time. I got to see cars I've never seen before, which means I have no reason to complain.

So the next day was the grand finale, which is the actual car show. Held at the Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds, GA (which is over 100 miles from my house, but I'm always determined to go because I know it's going to be worth it.) It was crowded, but the amazing part about it is... as often as I go to Stuntfest, there were STILL cars that I've never seen before. Needless to say, I had no reason to complain... except for the heat. I'm not built for hot weather.
