“ Ya Gotta know where to Go….The FUN Starts Here….”

head out on the road and blow the cobwebs out

It’s GO TIME...wash them...wax them...fill them full of HI-TEST….

it down, wash it, wax it , whatever level of cleaning you want to do, but as Larry the Cable sez ..”GIT-R-DUN!”

Welcome to April 2019 gearheads.

The first quarter of the year has flown past all of us at a greater rate than I personally like. Cant stop the clock!

When you get done cleaning your ride, head to your favorite gas station and fill that sweet machine with fuel and then head out on the road and blow the cobwebs out of the exhaust pipes. After you burn through that tank of fuel, go get another tank full and rack up some more miles or should we say...SMILES.

With April, the weather is warming up in the northern 2/3’s of the USA. Along with that

comes a PLETHORIA of car shows and cruises across the USA.

Driving these sweet machines we own gives double joy and fun when you drive yours.

First it’s the smile on your face as you dig blasting down the road in your favorite car or truck. The 2nd bit of joy comes from all those that see that cool ride of yours, as it DOES bring a smile to their face too. Don’t believe me...go drive your hot rod and watch their face...

This weeks issue is STUFFED FULL of great events and cruises. LITERALLY this issue is loaded from cover to cover with nothing but gearhead fun for you.

Whether your cool ride is in primer or coated in multiple coats of paint and clear coat, get out in the garage and get it ready to drive if you haven’t already. Dust it off, wipe

Live It Fully Everyday

Jimmy B.

“the fun starts here”….

Adults $20.00 admission and kids 10 & under FREE. The 2019 SEGA Championship Season will begin with another record number of Gassers

and Super Stocks in competition. A total of 77 SEGA legal race cars competed at the 2018 Finals for an all out battle that crowned three Champions in the A, B, and C gas classes for the 2018 season. 2019 will mark the beginning of a fourth championship class in that of the new SEGA Super Stocks. Owner/founder Quain Stott has started a resurgence in nostalgia drag racing that represents a true depiction of the original 1960’s gasser era. Though SEGA rules are loosely based off the 1967 rule book, they are much more defined and meticulously thought out to combat today’s technological advances. These rules prove to be a key ingredient in a nostalgia event like no other in the world. Every Southeast Gassers’ event is a true race fan’s dream and a hot rodder’s paradise!! So, come witness the future of real drag racing, while enjoying the historic roots of the past!! MAKE PLANS NOW!!!
