]]> The Buick Regal/Grand National/GNX is by far the most produced G-Body die cast to date, so it’s no surprise that M2 Machines has been laying it on thick in 2024 with their releases. With everything from a Regal Limited to a GNX, almost every sub-genre of car culture has been covered (big wheels aside). Speaking of which, I’m surprised one of these companies hasn’t collaborated with Forgiato/Rucci/etc… to release a “big wheel racing” die cast series in limited numbers. As for M2 Machines, my favorite thus far has been the 87 Regal Limited Chase in black/gold. What’s yours?

]]> Hot Rod Drag Week is an annual event that challenges participants to drive their high-performance hot rod cars on a grueling week-long road trip, covering hundreds of miles between multiple drag strips. The unique aspect of this event is that participants must not only endure the long drives but also compete in drag races at each of the designated tracks. It emphasizes the reliability and endurance of both the vehicles and their drivers, as they must navigate various challenges while striving for consistent drag racing performance. Hot Rod Drag Week has gained popularity among automotive enthusiasts for its combination of road trip adventure and intense drag racing competition.

Congratulations to the fastest G-Body at this years Drag Week, Jason Bergeson and his 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that ran 7.929 in the quarter mile!!!
