GoodGuys Columbus Auto-X

Probably the only thing Columbus has going for it is every July it hosts one of the largest Hot Rod shows in the country, GoodGuys’ Nationals. Even if you go nowhere near the show you know it’s here, 20% of traffic is suddenly pre 1972, with the percentage growing rapidly as you get closer to the main roads north of town, we’re talking 7000+ cars from around the country. And for the first time in forever I missed it. It’s all good, I was in Cleveland having the best week of my life …..but that’s another story. HL roving reporter Duke has some pix for us we’ll be putting up soon.

One thing GoodGuys have done over the past few years that I just love are the autocrosses. I’d love to see this incorporated into something like Eibach or JCCS. Eventhough I missed all the fun (actually I didn’t, I wouldn’t have traded what I was up to for the world) I did find some cool pix from the AutoX

You know what I love about old 70’s econoboxes? It’s the fact that they were nothing special and completely unrespected when they were new. They’ve long since rotted away or been sent to the crusher so seeing them today makes you see them in a whole new light, suddenly it is rare and special to see one and makes you regret all the ones you had a chance to buy for $500 back in the day. Which brings us to this prepped Datsun B310.
