When the rubber meets the road in Columbus this July, it won’t just be hot—it’ll be historic. The Goodguys 27th Summit Racing Nationals are rolling into town from July 11–13, 2025, and if you’ve got fuel in your veins, this is where you need to be.
Held at the Ohio Expo Center, this isn’t just another car show—it’s a full-blown horsepower hoedown. With over 6,500 classic rides—every one of ’em American-made or powered—this is where vintage muscle, hot rods, customs, and chrome dreams collide under the summer sun.
What sets Columbus apart? It’s got the drag racing, the burnout contests, the Autocross shootouts, and yeah, the kind of swap meet treasures that’ll make a grown gearhead cry. Add in a Smokey and the Bandit reunion, live rockabilly, and Friday’s twilight cruise—you're not just attending, you’re living the car culture.
My take? There’s something magic about Columbus in July. Maybe it’s the glint of a ‘69 Camaro in the golden hour. Maybe it’s the rumble of a blown Hemi echoing off the grandstands. But whatever it is—it feels like coming home.
Whether you're rolling in with a ride or just showing up with a camera and a dream, make sure Goodguys Columbus is on your 2025 cruise calendar.
