Page 7 THE MAGAZINE ROOM What s up everyone? We are less than 4 months away from the biggest Slamology to date. If you haven t heard, it has a new home at the Lucas Oil Raceway. Some big things are planned and many others in the works. Checkout www. Slamology.com and get all the details, plus pre-register and save $20. This issue is full of great rides and shows from South to North and East to West. We start off with Hot and Dangerous Gauge Girl Pretty Poison on the cover shot by the great photographer Nick Means. Our first feature comes by way of Legendary Brad Walker who caught this Bad Ass 300 owned by Adam Lovette at The All Star event last year. Next we venture to Iowa for the 20th Heartland Nationals put on by the crew at Good-guys. Twisted family member Rusty Townsend hooked us up with the coverage. Second feature comes to us from Chris Fessler and his personal ride Project Blazer that has grazed many page of magazine beside Gauge. This machine is sweet from top to bottom and rumor has it, it s For Sale. Slamily Reunion in Arkansas is the next stop in show coverage. This was the 3rd year for Robbie Bryant and crew and looks to be even bigger this year. Check out www.SlamilyReunion.com for info on 2012. Heading out west to Colorado Jason Peckovitch got up with the Jenkins who finished up this Honda Civic called Jasons Dream for their son Jason JJ who passed away in 2004. Very clean ride inside and out. Glad to see it got finished in his honor. Next we head back to the Hoosier State better known as Indiana for the 4X4 Jamboree put on by the Special Events at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds. Ryan Jason Hartley covered the festivities from Mud Runs to Monster Trucks to the Hotties wearing the short shorts. Always a good time, especially when friends show up with Apple Pie! Last feature of this issue is Low Lark owned by Greg Peterson up in the Sota. It s a Mean Ass 67 Buick Skylark wagon, that s right wagon. Greg built this beauty for his business Extreme Powder Coating. Check out www.extremepowdercoating.net for all your powder coating needs. Next we head down South for our next show coverage courtesy of Brad Walker of the long running Slammin and Jammin in Knoxville, TN. Charlie Cobble and crew at Autoshow.cc have been putting this great show on for many years. The Final stop in this March issue is the ever so wild Cruisefest Nationals. BLT and myself have been covering this show for so many years that it s a must attend, just to see what will happen. For those who go, you know what I m talking about. Until next month, get them rides ready, sell the snow blower and support midget entertainers! Dan Double D Davis Editor ‒ Gauge Magazine
