Award-winning builder and former Goodguys Trendsetter of the Year, Jonathan Goolsby of Goolsby Customs, will also be on hand to select his Top 10 Builders Choice rides of the weekend.
The family friendly two-day event offers plenty of fun for all including a chance for the kids to build a model car courtesy of Auto World during the free Model Car Make and Take. There are also free games, arts, and crafts to enjoy before heading over to hear and feel the roar of the Nitro Thunderfest exhibition dragsters revving their blown nitro-gulping engines. There are also more cars to see inside the Graham building plus a swap meet, Cars 4-Sale Corral, and a midway full of builders and manufacturers.
Racing excitement takes place both days on the Goodguys’ Autocross track where drivers race around corners and dodge cones with hopes to qualify for the No Limit Engineering “Rumble in Raleigh” AutoCross Shootout on Saturday afternoon. The day concludes with a parade of over 60 award winning rides followed immediately by the metal-crunching fun of the LMC Truck Demolition Derby where competitors will crash and ram into each other on a slippery, red clay surface with the goal of being the last car running (extra ticket required).
