I've never went to the car craft show, work always gets in the way. Every year it goes on, my uncle and a couple of his friends go there and are never disappointed. They come back with a smile and a few extra parts for rock bottom prices for ongoing projects.
One local guy started some Bad Boys car show last year. Only problem was it was on the same weekend as Car Craft. It brought out close to a thousand cars last year along with a cruise where many tires were wasted doing burnouts cruising on the strip while cops looked the other way, or just gave a thumbs up.

Nate is my cousin's old roommate. He's had some decent rides, mainly turbo'd Eclipse projects, or Del Sol's-along with a '63 Impala with air ride that a buddy of mine now owns. The Eclipse was running somewhere around a 12.2 in the 1/4 on a stock turbo and a full interior. Now I've heard he's looking for a Mitusbishi Mirage or something of that style to throw that 4g63 Eclipse motor in. Not to mention those Mirages, I believe, weigh in at around 1800lbs stock, so putting 300hp+ down should be fun.
