Exclamation Chris (Powell72) in Goodguys Gazette!! Congrats!

forgive me Chris if I overlooked a previous thread, but I just got my September Goodguys Gazette, and there you are on page 59.

for all who don't know, Mr. Powell with his sweet blue and white swb, won the truck class of the Street Challenge Autocross @ the 13th Annual Colorado Goodguys Nats. He blistered the the course in 37.469 seconds. pretty darn quick!!!

I can now say I know a celebrity!! Good job, Chris!!!

Well congrats Chris. I had no idea your truck was such a handler.

Neither did the competition......suckers. I would actually give more credit to the driving than the truck, he drove the nuts off that thing

I am the father of Chris and so proud of him I could bust.
He has been an invaluable aid to me on my own '53 5 window project
