THE MAGAZINE ROOM
February is already here, but this year we get to enjoy it for one extra day.
This month s issue is filled from beginning to end with some great features and shows from across
the nation. But first you all must know that SLAMOLOGY has moved to a bigger facility, Lucas Oil
Raceway. That s right the home of NHRA World Finals. Dates are still Fathers Day weekend, June
16-17, 2012. Pre-Registration is open and you can stop by the Gauge Magazine Lifestyle section at
Indianapolis World of Wheels and register and get a free shirt and limited edition Slamology 2012
Sticker by doing so. So mark your calendars! Or pre-register today online at www.slamology.com
To start off the features we have Shannon McGee s 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport aka Red Ram
from down south. Shannon s Dodge Ram is clean and straight forward as they come. Legendary
Brad Walker was able to catch this feature while at the All Star Event in Tennessee last year. Next we
have our cover vehicle Import Killer a 1972 Chevrolet Nova owned by Jake Wade. We met Jake
while running the Autocross at Good-Guys in Indianapolis this past year. This ride is one bad ass
machine from top to bottom and doesn t know what a trailer is. For the cover we snuck into Indy
Airbrush and shot the lovely Gauge girl Shaye Wright. While in Lexington, KY we caught up with
Joe Hughes and his Asphalt Assassin a 1995 Nissan Hardbody that is a real head turner and was
recently on the cover of Mini Truckin Magazine. Joes had this bad boy for several years and used
to be on juice. Topping off the features this month is Bobby McGinley s 64 Chevrolet Impala better
known as No Mercy . We spotted this unique lowrider while covering the Showoff showdown up
north in the SOTA aka Minnesota. No Mercy has some hidden features that you will have to look
closely for.
Know for the show, we start off with the Road Rocket Rumble held at the Clarion Hotel in
Indianapolis, IN put on by the Road Rockets Car Club. This is great event with live Rockabilly
bands and a Pin up contest that is spectator favorite. Special thanks to Big Lenny Thompson aka
BLT for the coverage. The next show in the program is the 1st WIX Filters Good-Guys Speedway
