A summertime favorite for more than three decades, the 38th Run What Cha Brung car show returns to Mills Park in Carson City this Saturday, June 28.
This annual classic hotrod show, with all vehicles welcome up to 2025, is presented by the Karson Kruzers car club. The show brings plenty of shady trees, all the shiny chrome and many stories from the vehicle owners who drive them. The event is free to the public to view the show. There will be raffles and silent auction, food trucks, a live DJ spinning tunes and more.
The hotrod event has been a staple of Northern Nevada car shows since the late 1980s when, during the first few years, was attended by mostly other car club members.
“In the early years, our show had been a word-of-mouth event,” said Loretta Marcin, president of Karson Kruzers.
The popularity of the show only grew as it became a three-day event held at Fuji Park. But as times change and organizers grew a little older, it was scaled back around four years ago to a single day event at Mills Park.
What can people expect Saturday? Cars, trucks, motorcycles and more, whether they’re vintage, new or anything built in a garage.
“We’ve had boats, we’ve had motorcycles, we’ve had a semi before. People have brought all kinds of transportation,” said Marcin. “If you can get it to run, bring it.”
There’s even a “Kids Special Interest” event where children can enter (free with a parent), anything on wheels, including bicycles, pedal cars, scooters and skateboards.
“We want them to doll ’em up” for the show, she said.
As for judging, there will be a number of events, including the kids event, the sheriff’s pick and the “BJ Barnhurst Memorial” that is presented by Jane Barnhurst, wife of the late BJ Barnhurst, an original Karson Kruzer.
The special award is in memory of past members “who are kruzing in Heaven now,” said Marcin.
For those wanting to enter, the event is open to all vehicles. The cost to enter the show is $40. Registration is 8 to 9:30 a.m., on Saturday.
On Friday, June 27, participants can register for the show at Gold Dust West east parking lot, 2171 E William St., Carson City, from 5 to 7 p.m. Mills Park is located at 1111 East William Street. For information call 775-883-0927.
