QA1 recently opened its facility to the public for its seventh annual open house event.
The two-hour event brings enthusiasts together for an intimate gathering before the #goDRIVEit Cruise to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds for the Street Machine Nationals in St. Paul.
Approximately 200 people toured QA1’s Lakeville, Minnesota, facility, gaining an inside look at daily operations, new machinery and products, and manufacturing processes such as carbon fiber winding for driveshafts and the welding of tubular components.
Games were also played, giving attendees the opportunity to win a variety of QA1 prizes, from aluminum signs and pint glasses to $2,500 in QA1 cash gift certificates and more.
Ride of the Year was given to Marshall Holt of Lakeville, who brought his 1930 Willys Whippet Coupe built from an old circle track chassis with a custom-made body.
After the event, approximately 100 cars cruised to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, where participants gained VIP preferred entrance to the Street Machine Nationals. QA1 sponsored the autocross portion of the event, where a range of muscle cars and trucks collectively ran nearly 1,000 passes throughout the weekend.
