Getting Big Red Ready For Goodguys - PPG Nationals in Columbus, Here We Come!
 
As you may have seen, we're getting Big red out on the road to see some of our fans -- starting with the Columbus Goodguys show in July.
To make the car more recognizable, it will arrive at the Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio on July 10-12 wearing its familiar Silver State Classic Challenge skin.

The car is currently in landspeed mode with the Elephant stuffed between the front fenders. It just finished running at El Mirage running on the dry lakebed and is very dirty.

First, start by removing the parachutes and blowing out all the El Mirage dirt.

Change the hood from the huge bulging scoop to a cowl hood.

Swap the deck lid out with the one with the standard Camaro spoiler.

Swap the narrow racing tires and salt flat discs to the wide street tires and BBS wheels.

The next race is Bonneville, so they don’t want to change the working combination too much. Due to the tight schedule for Bonneville, the engine, fuel system, gears, interior, front fender wells, exhaust, cooling system, etc. You get the idea. There’s a lot that goes into changing the car from one type of event to the next. It takes a lot to be The Original Outlaw Racer.

Always loved that car! I had a picture of it on my wall growing up. Glad to see its back.

I would love to see this thing in person. I've been watching it since the 80s.

Thanks for the kind words all!

Some of you are saying you would love to see Big Red in person. Will anyone actually be there? We're going to be having drawings for Big Red Tees and hats.

Come by our spot at Columbus for your chance to win!

See you there!
