RideTech Returns to Bowling Green for GoodGuys 4th Nostalgia Nationals

The Goodguys gang made a high-speed return to historic Beech Bend Raceway Park last weekend, filling the scenic facility with fast cars & good times under warm fall skies.  Autocrossers, Drag Racers, and Show&Shiners from across the midwest brought in so much color and chrome, it was probably visible from space.  Read below for our results from the event!

GoodGuys 4th Nostalgia Nationals
After running at the Holley LS Fest only a week ago, the 48-Hour Corvette and crew descended on Bowling Green for a second weekend in a row to attend the GoodGuys 4th Nostalgia Nationals.  With just three events remaining before the season-ending Scottsdale Shootout in November, the competition on Beech Bend's paved oval was some of the fiercest we've seen all year. 
Chris pushed through the field of 21 entries in the PRO-Class to finish only 1.104 seconds off the winning time, set by Tyler Powell's 1963 Corvette.  We were very pleased with how the 48-Hour Corvette performed at this event; the course was much tighter than previous events, so Chris was able to get a great feel for how the car performed in varying conditions at the same venue as the previous event. Other RideTech alumni and customers had a good turnout, as well; the times were fairly tightly packed!  Full results from the event can be found HERE.

Next up for Chris and the 48-Hour Corvette will be the GoodGuys 23rd Lonestar Nationals in Fort Worth, TX; followed immediately by a trip to Fontana, CA, for the final Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car event at Auto Club Speedway.  SEMA and the OUSCI are close on the heels of that event; are you ready???

These are some of our favorite RideTech-equipped vehicles from this weekend's social media posts.  Post your car or truck to our Facebook wall for a chance to be featured here!
Tim Palazzolo's gorgeous project, Stampede, sits on RideTech Select Series ShockWaves with the E3 control system and Big Red valves.
Here's one you don't see every day; a 1961 Chevy Corvair 95 loadside owned by Alex Becker.  One of only 2840 made and sporting a 164ci H6 air-cooled 110hp motor, RideTech ShockWaves keep it low, smooth, and cool.
Colin Michael's '62 Impala sports a RideTech Level 1 air suspension and AirPod with digital controller.  Tucking 22x10's doesn't seem to be a problem!
Alexander Austin's 1949 Studebaker with a 12-valve Cummins looks great on RideTech ShockWaves!
We all have jobs to do each day, and many of us rely on trucks to get those jobs done; but in today’s age, everyone is doing more with less. Now, your truck doesn’t have to be a compromise.  What do we mean by that? Quite simply, all OEM suspensions are a compromise between ride quality/comfort and carrying capacity. If the truck has a very soft spring for comfort, it won’t be able to carry a load; likewise, if the truck was designed to always carry a heavy load, you wouldn’t be able to ride in it unloaded for very long. With the LevelTow System by RideTech, you don’t have to settle!

The LevelTow System uses air springs to keep your vehicle at its designed “curb” height while maintaining both load capacity and ride quality. If your vehicle is squatting due to a heavy load, the suspension travel is much shorter; even small bumps in the road will cause your vehicle to bottom out and give you a harsh ride. The LevelTow System automatically levels the vehicle, improving ride comfort while utilizing it to its fullest capacity by giving your suspension the travel it needs to maintain a good ride while still towing a reasonable load.

The Ridetech LevelTow System is a complete package including: Air Springs, OE-grade compressor, Mono-tube shocks, automatic leveling valve, and all the necessary hardware for a completely bolt-in installation. 

For example, here is a Ram 1500 eco-diesel truck used by BD Diesel to promote their products and carry materials from show to show. It has a very soft suspension from the factory, giving the truck a superb ride quality. However, with all their promotional material and show supplies loaded up, the truck was squatting almost 2 ½”! Not only was the truck much lower, the owner found it was actually dangerous to drive while traveling through mountains and on curvy roads. After installation of our LevelTow System, the truck now sits level (even fully loaded), ride quality is retained, and the “white knuckle” effect is eliminated. The images included in this article are of the BD Diesel truck, fully loaded with several hundred pounds of turbochargers, manifolds, and literature, back at a safe and comfortable height thanks to the LevelTow System by RideTech!

More details on the LevelTow System can be found on our website!
