Q:   My son is looking for Boyd's "Smoothie" wheels to fit his two-wheel-drive Dakota (17 inches). Help?
A:   Tires.com has the Smoothies available; however, they may not have them in stock to fit the Dakota. The Dakota requires a positive offset wheel, so more than likely they will need to be ordered and custom-built. Don't worry, this does not cost extra; it only means it will take a little more time to get the wheels. So you will need to either call the folks at Tires.com or call us directly at 1-888-254-3400.

Q:   Is anyone planning a road trip to one of the Goodguys shows? I've never been to one, but it sounds like a good time.
A:   The show in Indianapolis would be an excellent choice to attend. This show also has vintage drag racing. Another show worth attending is the Goodguys Hot-Rod Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. There isn't racing at this event, but it's the largest Goodguys show, with thousands of cars in attendance.

I have to warn you though — after seeing the awesome cars people build and meeting the people who make up this sport, you just might get hooked and have to have a hot rod of your own. When that happens, let us know; we can build you that Boydster.
