Default Car Craft Magazine liked Todd's LS2 GSX too

Congrats, Todd!

It was an awesome weekend for the Car Craft Summer Nationals here in Minnesota. I'm hearing that we had over 5000 cars register.

Yeah Scott, I don't remember that show being that packed before. It was a great weekend and I know Todd was pretty excited to get some press on the Buick. They say it should be in the January issue.

Nice Buick. Congrats on getting in the magazine!

On Sunday, they announced that there were nearly 6000 cars registered. It was nice to see Scott again, Meet Max Harvard, and I got to see Keith's El Camino in person as he drove by.

One of the photo editors of Car Craft and Hot Rod took an interest in my car, so....I took him for a spin outside of the fairgrounds for some 'action' shots. I think he liked getting some second gear rubber in a big Impala. We switched seats and I let him drive it back into the fairgrounds. There is a good chance I'll be in one of the magazines in some form, too.

Lots of nice cars again this year.

Randy

Cool! I knew it was a good turn out, the place was packed. There were some bad ass cars there, the scenery was great and the weather was perfect.

Congrats on getting to show the magazine guys what the Impala can do.

Keith had a good time at the show too.

Eric, sorry I missed your call.

Next should be even better. Maybe I'll even have my car there.

A perfect weekend overall. As Scott mentioned the weather was perfect which helped create a huge crowd with lots of great cars and some good scenery as well!

I want to say thanks again to Kurt & Paul at Autokraft Race Cars & Restorations! You guys do great work and I think the show itself proved it with all the attention G-ReX received!!!

Thank you also Scott for creating a great website for our Cars!

As said, it was the perfect weekend. Huge crowd,great views ,great cars, just an overall great event. Just wanted to congratulate Todd on his GSX Buick, what an awesome car. Kurt and Paul at AutoKraft do great work. AutoKraft had "5" cars at this event all of which are great cars. I feel very lucky to have such a High Quality shop so close and even more fortunate that I'm able to have such great friends as all of these guys!


Congrats,

Travis

I saw the car, great job!
I think 35,000 and 4200 cars were last year's numbers.
More like 6000 cars this year.
