Travel to the Pacific/Western!

Hi Hernan -
I suggest you check out http://www.hotaugustnights.net for a great car show event in Nevada. This is also close to Lake Tahoe for some outstanding scenery.
After Hot August Nights you could drive down US Hwy 395 to Lee Vining and then take California State Hwy 120 up and over Tioga Pass (3031 m. elevation) and down into Yosemite National Park for some unforgettable scenery. After Yosemite you could drive to Sequoia National Park for more unforgettable scenery.
I also suggest you check out http://socalcarculture.com/events.html for a list of car events going on each month in Southern California.
Enjoy the NHRA Northwest Nationals in Seattle. My next event is going to be the NHRA Finals at Pomona here in SoCal in November.

Enjoy your trip!
