Columbus, Ohio, came alive once again as the heart-thumping host of the Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals presented by PPG. This year, the car count soared to an astonishing 5,500, solidifying this as the alpha show in the Goodguys lineup. But it’s not just the cars that make this a standout – it’s the electrifying atmosphere that transforms the city. With the sun setting, the automotive nightlife is as potent as the daytime action. The Polaris area, just outside the north outerbelt, is a hotbed for evening activities and cruising.
As the city embraced the horde of enthusiasts, every corner turned became an unscripted car show. Hotels, acting as sanctuaries for rodders, revealed a treasure trove of automotive eye candy. And then there’s the epicenter of excitement, the Crowne Plaza. Here, the parking lot transformed into a cacophony of festivities – dignitaries, legendary builders, and the rocking strains of a Journey-infused cover band anthems creating a gasoline-scented carnival.
If you’ve got an ounce of blood coursing through your veins, this is an event you simply cannot miss. Stamp it onto your bucket list, for Goodguys Columbus is more than a show – it’s a pilgrimage for those who live and breathe the roar of engines and the scent of burning rubber.Â
