Event History - An Interactive look back at Del Mar's history.

Del Mar Nationals Debuts in 2001!

Once held at the Pomona Fairgrounds east of Los Angeles, the Del Mar Nationals secured it's spot on the Goodguys event roster begining in 2001. The first event held, March 31 - April 1 brought in 1000's of car participants and many more car enthusiasts.

One great thing about Del Mar is the fact it's the first event of the year for the CUSTOM RODDER Top Ten. In short, although it may not be directly related, that means you'll find plenty of cool '49-and-later iron to drool over. The flipside of that coin is it makes it even more difficult for us to whittle our decision down to 10 picks, but that's part of the job! As you'll see in the accompanying pages, this year was no exception when it came to fine customs. Sister pub Street Rodder also had a Top Ten pick at the event

Special event features have included:
* Deuce Doin's - featuring those spectacular 'Lil Deuce Coupes and roadsters
* Homebuilt Heaven - open to all owner built machines
* Good Wood - for those wonderful "woodies" with polished timber sides
* Wide White Way - for any car sporting traditional whitewalls
* Young Guys - open to owners and builders 25 years and under
* Muscle Reunion (1960 - 1972) - for those wonderful street machines with horsepower to spare
