Hot August Nights started in 1986 by the Reno convention bureau to fill a void in tourism in Reno during the month of August and to raise money for local charities. They had concerts and a classic car show. It has grown every year since. It is hard to pick only a few pictures of the cars, but there was everything from the 1912 roadster to the “gangster” cars of the 1930s and up to cars from 1976. My favorites are probably the 1963 – 1967 Corvettes and Thunderbirds, but it was fun to see then all.
We went to Downtown Reno, Victorian Square, the Atlantis, the Peppermill Resort, and Grand Sierra. Tobey and I even got to try the Racing Simulator Test Drive. It was pretty fun. We even tried a little gambling … and today Tobey’s winnings on a slot machine put us about $5.00 ahead. Big time gamblers …
We enjoyed our evenings back at the RV playing cards and taking Penny for walks. Tomorrow we say farewell to our friends and head out toward California.
