Cc Summer Nationals Gm Performance Sign
Anytime a big event happens, somebody steps up to pay the bills. This year, GM Performance Division helps make all this happen in exchange for a friendly gesture on our part. Besides, they have cool parts.
Cc Summer Nationals Show N Shine
The beauty of the event is that if it's a street machine, you'll probably find it here. And don't forget, there are dozens of Show-N-Shine awards presented for just about any category of machine that's allowed in the gate, so leave room in your trunk for your trophy.
Cc Summer Nationals 2 Pontiacs
You like Pontiacs? These guys are just waiting to talk about the rewards of wheelin' a Tin Indian.
Cc Summer Nationals St Paul Main Drag
The Summer Nationals in St. Paul is the place to be in mid-July this year.
Cc Summer Nationals Busted
Why bother with professionally photographed posters when you can stealthily snap a picture with your disposable camera? Yeah dude, you're busted.
Cc Summer Nationals Ta Burnout
You'd better show up, we know where you live (we have your addresses, you know). Don't make us do burnouts in front of your house. We will...I swear!

Cc Summer Nationals Final Touches
There is one requirement to attending the Summer Nationals. You must have fun.

Cc Summer Nationals Tshirt Givaway
Does this picture really need a caption? Come on, I don't really have to convince many people why this is a great thing.
Cc Summer Nationals 1200Hp Dyno
If you've never witnessed 1,200 hp chained down and straining against a monster spinning wheel, just show up in St. Paul. This is Carl Finney's nitrous-injected, 598ci '29 Model A that has taken top honors in the DynoMax Dyno Challenge twice in the last three years. Be afraid. The DynoMax Dyno Challenge will be chaining it down for you at all three events this summer.
Cc Summer Nationals Chevelle Burnout
Watch the burnout contest officials do their best impression of "Where's Waldo." Oh, there he is, hidden somewhere in a thick cloud of melted rubber.
Cc Summer Nationals Caddy Cruising
There's also action at Porky's, which may only be a few minutes' drive from your motel if you're lucky. There is a great crowd on Saturday night, but the cops keep a tight lid on any street action. Consider yourself warned.
Cc Summer Nationals Car Show Main Drag
Think of the Summer Nationals as an orchard of ideas from which you can take your pick. Steal an idea from a fellow car crafter then see if you can better execute it. It's called creative license. We do it all the time.
Cc Summer Nationals Street Busch Car
John Cottrell showed up a couple of years ago wheelin' a barely streetable version of a couple-year-old Busch car that actually ran at Daytona. The Monte Carlo is powered by an LS1 motor built by John's brother and TPIS owner Myron Cottrell.
