Car Craft Summer Nationals 2014

[81cutlass]

I did a terrible job of pictures this year. There was a LOT of G bodies this year. Less GN's but holy crap monte SS, like 50 of them there. G bodies are the new trashy drag car of choice. 1 4dr G body in the whole place, gobs of malibu wagons. G bodies held 2 and 3 of the small block dyno. 86ish 442 with a 6.0 and BIG air to water IC made 1075 to the wheel and a super nice GN-GNX clone had 1023 to the wheel or something with what I thing is an SB2 turboed SBC.

I had the only drawthrough car there. Hehe!!

Sweet GP, 455 Poncho.


I giggled. LS in a sn95 stang with 5.0 cover.


Sweetest GS ive ever seen. GSN.

That GS is bad to the bone.

I forgot to take the picture of the GSN stripe, he took the GSX stripe and replaced the X with an N, it was easily the coolest thing to me at the show. It helps that I have an unsafe desire to own a 70-72 GS or 68-72 Cutlass S.

Sorry guys, I did a terrible job this year as well...

I was there all 3-days, weather was actually great... cloudy and cool, low 70's... Usually it's always 95 and humid lol.
The 442 ran great. Racked up a bit over 200 miles cruising and averaged right around 10 mpg...
Lots of G-bodies this year indeed.
Got to hang out for a bit with SafariWagon and 81cutlass... I saw a few other members cars but wasn't able to connect with the owners.
And there were TWO 4-door Cutlass's :lol:
Lots of Malibus, coupes and wagons. TONS of Montes. At least a dozen or two H/O's of various years. Lots of Turbo Buicks.
Only saw 3 442's other than mine.

That Turbo-powered GS is pretty quick too... I've seen it run a few times over the past couple years up in Brainerd.

I did manage to snap 3 pictures on Friday before losing interest in waiting for people to get out of the way so I could get a clear shot...

The 442 and the GN... Had a good spot in the shade right by the exit Friday... got to watch everything cruise out.


Plain-Jane wagon... I liked the dog dishes, needed a paint job...


Another clean wagon...

I know we dropped the ball this year, but I have a consolation prize for anyone who wanted more pictures.
As the cars pull in the gate they are photographed. I think they only do it on Friday but I'm not sure. I never see them the other days unless they're gone before I get there...
So help yourself to a ton of pictures.
Safariwagon is on page 6, Squirrelmaster and I are on page 42...
