THE MAGAZINE ROOM It s JUNE and you know what that means? SLAMOLOGY BABY!! That s right this month in Indianapolis, Indiana is Slamology, the largest Automotive and Music Festival in the Midwest and beyond. Come join us June 16 and 17, 2012 at Lucas Oil Raceway for all the excitement. Enjoy the great rides from Mini trucks to Street Rods to 4X4, plus listen to great bands and DJs playing a wide range of music for your entertainment. In this issue we have the Hot and Sexy Felicia Bargar from Oklahoma gracing the cover with Phillip Carey laid out Volkswagen Beetle representing The NOMADS. Kicking off the content is Freshly Squeezed stunning 1952 Chevrolet Pick-Up owned by Frank Tucker and shot by Brad Stillwell. This year Robert Rosales covered the festivities of Forbidden Fantasy show out on the West Coast and plans on returning to next year s show. Meanwhile in Arizona Chris Fesler shoot Back in Time a beautifully built 1955 Chevrolet 210 owned by Mike Watts. Traveling up to Michigan is always a good time for BLT and myself to cover the legendary Detroit Autorama. And this year was no different with over 75 20x20 displays filled with American muscle. But in the end it was Dwayne Peace winning the 49th Annual Riddler Award with his amazing 1955 Ford Thunderbird. Next show in the program is SHOWFEST down in Mississippi. The show was great as it is every year with participants coming in from Coast to Coast. Special thanks to Smalls, Shea and BLT for making the trip and help cover the show. Our last but not least feature this month is Never Enough 1996 Silverado owned by Jeff Douglas of Aftermath C.C. and was shot by our very Kent Williams down in North Carolina, another clean ass ride from a great club. Rounding out the issue is the Gorgeous Masha, not sure where Nick Means gets some of these ladies, but you don t want to miss this one. Until Next Month, Get your ride clean, get plenty of dollar bills, pack a great attitude and see you at SLAMOLOGY BITCHES!!!!!!
