THE MAGAZINE ROOM I think this is one of the HOTTEST summers on record. July is always our special edition issue dedicated 100 percent to SLAMOLOGY. Well this year is no different. We would like to thank the nearly 900 entries for bringing your rides to the biggest Slamology to date. Plus all the Specters and fans that made it out thank you. And a BIG SPECIAL THANKS to all the sponsors and vendors that include Air Lift, XS Power, Spade Kreations, Don t Drive Naked, Asylum Autowerks, Indy Body Works, A-Dapt-It USA, Speed Judge, Kreative Body Werks, R-N-L Customs, Eric Ward Custom Paint, Illusive Designs & Fabrication, TR Manufacturing, Audio Technix, Ohio Generator, ISP Parts, Drop em Wear, KIK, Drop Jaw and The Custom Shop. I m sure I missed a few of you and apologize but without your help and support the show just would not be the same. So THANK YOU. To kick off the coverage we have Best of Show winner John Wargo and his SSAWD 2010 Camaro Convertible that is got some crazy body modifications including a 68 Camaro front clip on the cover with Gauge Girl Amber. Inside we have Chris Mad Professor Chytry and his 1988 Mazda B2200 Mazdilla who took things back a few years with this build. Next we have Mike Krause and his 1966 Cadillac Coupe De Ville representing Kreative Body Werks and Detroit City. This caddy is just plain clean and a American Bad Ass. Last feature is John Wargo and the Custom Shops Last Minute 2011 Ford F150 Super Cab FX2. In between all these nice rides you will find some of the 900 rides that rolled into the show. Plus all the events that kept the weekend full of fun and activities. Keep your eyes on www.SLAMOLOGY.com for information on the 2013 show. Until next Month, Keep Cool, Drink plenty of liquids and remember, strip clubs have air conditioning.
