Goodmark Comes To Atlanta

The long awaited debut of the Goodmark Second-Generation Camaro became a reality at the Atlanta Super Chevy Show. As we expected the crowds around the car at the Super Chevy Magazine booth were so thick we had difficulty getting any photos. Actually, there were about a million other pictures taken around the car proving that we're not the only one's nuts about it. We look forward to having it on the road in a few more weeks on the 2004 Super Chevy Road Tour.

Atlanta is a spectator's paradise. Featuring one of the largest swap meets and car corrals we see all season, and a giant Manufacturer's Midway, it's a wonder the folks in Georgia can walk at all after a day at Super Chevy. Thankfully, we have the grandstands nearby and the best racing in the south to draw people to a welcome place to sit. We didn't hear any complaints about nothing to do at Atlanta.
