In the interest of full disclosure, I am one of the organizers of Radwood and while I regularly contribute to this site, I was encouraged to bring a piece of my car show to FLATSIXES.com. I was way too busy working to make sure the event ran smoothly to take many photographs of my own, but some of my friends have contributed their pictures for you to peruse in this post.
For those who don’t know, Radwood is an 80s and 90s car show that celebrates the lifestyle and totally tubular-ness of the 1980s and 1990s. We started this show back in June, holding our inaugural event at the Brisbane Marina south of San Francisco, and it was such a wild success that we decided to host a second one just 6-months later. “Radwood 2 [Electric Boogaloo]” took place in Anaheim on the second of December.
We had about 360 cars and over 1000 attendees turn up, and it was a raging success. While the only stipulation for the show was that your car be built between 1980 and 1999 (or otherwise have significance to the era, like the VW bus from the American classic ‘Fast Times At Ridgemont High’, for example), Porsche was the second most represented marque, following BMW. SoCal Yuppies were out in full force. Matt Farah brought his newly purchased Cassis Red 911. Hunziker Design brought a bunch of merch to sell (and their dirty 996 GT3). Fifteen52 brought their super cool 964 (top). So many people dressed in period attire to really get into the spirit.

Lots of nice cars...but that flattened cardboard box serving as a drip pan below the Sahara (?) Carrera is a bit offputting. Gotta get that leak fixed!
The venue required cardboard under the engine of every single car on the property. Most of them didn't leak a drop.
