A welcome respite from the Monterey Car Weekend usual.
: Gather a bunch of 1980s and 1990s cars in one place, invite enthusiastic nostalgists who pine for those cars to a location local to them, and encourage attendees to dress in period-inspired outfits. Rinse, repeat. Our latest visit to a Radwood show, at Laguna Seca raceway in California, provided a welcome respite from the Monterey Car Weekend usual. You know, exotics, supercars, and eye-wateringly expensive classics mingling among the idle rich.
That's great eye candy for sure, but all the revving V-12s and flashy new metal can be a little exhausting. If ever you could be reminded in real time, over and over again, that you're relatively poor, Monterey Car Week doles out such lessons incessantly. So Radwood and its motley collection of fellow car enthusiasts' more attainable rides—though there are some near-priceless vehicles that qualify for entrance—offer up a dose of pleasant reality.
