We all know that Goodguys events are known for the plethora of activities planned for each weekender, this year is definitely going to be bigger and better. Some say it’s hard to improve upon a classic but the folks at Goodguys seem to be masters at just that, check it out:

“The popular Goodguys AutoCross also gets back into full swing, picking up right where it left off last November. Cleveland’s Danny Popp won the Goodguys AutoCross Finals Shootout in his ’72 Corvette, beating the best 24 cars in the country. The Finals Shootout returns this season with an expanded 32-car field, the first finalist to be determined at the season-opening Spring Nationals.”

With the 5th Spring Nationals being the season’s “lid-lifter” be sure to clear your schedules for the season highlighter, the 17th annual Goodguys PPG Nationals held on July 11-13 in Columbus, Ohio.
