A bite-size sampling of concours, cruise nights, auctions, club races and other upwellings of car culture happening across America this weekend.
Santa Fe Concorso: Santa Fe, N.M., Friday-Sunday
Though unconfirmed, organizers anticipate visits from Al Unser Sr. and Sir Stirling Moss at the third-annual Santa Fe Concorso. A special class features three so-called cowboy cars, including a Pontiac Bonneville embellished by Nudie Cohn, the tailor who fitted rhinestones to the apparel of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. The car was purchased at auction in 2010 for more than $250,000. More info.
Lowrider Magazine Super Show: Woodland, Calif., Saturday
As part of the magazine's protracted celebrat ion of its 35th year of publication, a convergence of lowriders and the occasional donk is forecast for the Yolo County Fairgrounds. A hop, in which drivers hit switches to get quick action from their hydraulic suspensions, sending their cars' front ends skyward, is planned, as is the requisite bikini contest. More info.
Nurotag: Miami, Saturday
Nurotag brings together all manner of customized cars, the merits of which are determined not by judges in porkpie hats, but by attendees who vote for their favorites using the power - albeit in undefined form - of social media. No judges, but plenty of judging, in other words. Live music, DJs and exhibited work by street artists augment the hands-on atmosphere. More info.
Japanese Car and Motorcycle Day Brookline, Mass., Sunday
This annual event is held on the lawn of the superlative Larz Anderson Auto Museum, just outside of Boston. Past years have brought a number of Z cars from the 1970s, as well as newer c ollectibles like the Acura NSX and first-generation Kawasaki Ninjas. More info.
