Known for its insanely powerful project cars and meticulous execution, House of Boost has been synonymous with go-fast performance for years. But it was the shop's pursuit of charity that inspired the Cars, Coffee, Cure event it hosted on Sept. 19.
1st Place - Jim Hatcher - 1956 Thunderbird
2nd Place - Jared Cox - 1956 Chevy BelAir
3rd Place - Scott Shanks - 1970 Dodge Challenger
Attendees brought their cars, cameras and some cash to the shop for a car show where 100% of the donations go to charity (ADA Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes at Thies Park on 9/26/09). The turnout was great considering the short 2-week notice; 71 cars were shown, and $1,700 was raised. Although vehicles with big V8s and massive superchargers dominated the lot, plenty of other cars also showed up and participated.
Winners of the car show were:
1st Place - Jim Hatcher - 1956 Thunderbird
2nd Place - Jared Cox - 1956 Chevy BelAir
3rd Place - Scott Shanks - 1970 Dodge Challenger
To remind everyone that the shop specializes in performance, the crew dyno'd one of their creations. The Mineral Grey '03 Cobra put down 1060whp on E85, and the car is also apparently daily driven. The Cobra utilizes twin Garrett 67mm turbos, 160lb injectors, Comp Cams and other goodies to feed the built 4.6L V8.
The guys at House of Boost plan on a much larger show next Spring with more planning and promotion. With the quality, and the quantity, of cars and trucks that turned out this time, missing future Cars, Coffee, Cure events would be downright foolish.
