This year’s Goodguys 27th Summit Racing Nationals Presented by PPG marked the first of what we hope are many occasions featuring the new products showcase winners sponsored by In The Garage Media Inc., under the banners of Modern Rodding, Classic Truck Performance, and All Chevy Performance.

This year’s winners come from a variety of categories that represent the many components involved in building a hot rod. So, it would be wise to examine the winners closely, as many of the products shown might be exactly what you need to complete your project.

Besides the new product awards, In The Garage Media distributed individual awards. These custom-made plaques were presented to individuals for their respective hot rods representing the corresponding brands.

The coverage of the Sacramento Autorama that appeared in our July issue on page 77 suffers from a “misdirection of arrows”—or as we might say in the publishing biz, mistaken identity. At the bottom of the page, the little red arrows that point in a direction depicting a Chevy and a Buick should be reversed.

Turns out ye ol’ editor Brian Brennan and author John Gilbert either cannot tell their “left from right” or a Buick from a Chevy. Let’s hope it’s just the aging process confusing their sense of direction. So, for future reference, take with the proverbial grain of salt that we can’t tell our left from right, but we are pretty good at telling a Buick from a Chevy.

Our apologies to all, but especially to Carlos and Audie Martinez’s 1964 Chevy and Bryan Celosse and his 1964 Buick Rivi.
