Goodguys making some changes for 2018 season

For the first time in over 20 years, Goodguys Rod & Custom Association is raising the year eligibility for registered event participants. Beginning with the 8th Spring Lone Star Nationals, March 9-11 at Texas Motor Speedway in Ft. Worth, Goodguys will open event gates to 1987 and earlier show cars for all national events, with the exception being the 32nd West Coast Nationals presented by Flowmaster held annually in Pleasanton, CA. The expansion comes after several years of planning. “We carefully considered all aspects of a year bump,” said Goodguys President and CEO Marc Meadors.” We discussed it with prominent builders, manufacturers, and our members. We asked our social media audience for their input and we ran a column in the Gazette which garnered over a thousand letters. The resulting flood of feedback and collective input from all of our research suggested nearly 70% of our audience was in favor of the bump.

Dunkel Upper Deck Multi-Purpose Vehicle

This one appears to have been around a while, but it is the first we have come across it.

Not the most visually pleasing truck, but you have to appreciate all it brings to the table. N2A Motors website has info on the truck, as well as many other sites if you do a search. No luck getting on to the actual Dunkel site without adding some Chrome extension, which we didn't care to do. Too bad - wanted to see if they have kept this alive, seems like this was built about 2009.
