Heading south on I-75 to his Florida home, the YouTube channel Junkyards and Barn Finds with Sean stops at Summit Racing Equipment in McDonough, Georgia. Even though Sean is familiar with this giant emporium for gearheads, this is his first chance to see firsthand exactly what's on offer.
Follow along with Sean in the video as he discovers the surprises amidst hard-to-find parts for classic cars and unique automotive souvenirs at Summit Racing.
Manifolds, Shifters, Valve Covers, Detroit Lockers, And So Much More
From the moment that Sean steps into Summit Racing, it's clear that he's found an automotive shopper's Nirvana. Every automotive part you didn't know you needed is here. Sean walks us through seemingly endless rows of exhaust components, suspension kits, steering wheels, front grilles, gauges, braking systems, safety equipment, and racing clothing, among other items.
If you need something unusual like a complete subframe for your third-generation Chevy Nova, Summit has it. It happens to be on the store floor to check out. Budget-minded shoppers can dive into the large scratch-and-dent section for discounted parts.
As if the variety of parts weren't enough, the store displays are worth the visit alone. Sean shows us several classic engines, including a 302 Ford small-block with a supercharger. He looks at an imposing Jeep Gladiator Rubicon sporting 33" tires by the entrance. Stock car bodies, front ends of race cars, and vintage models all hang from the ceiling and walls.
The Showstopper And Some Souvenirs
The display that stops Sean in his tracks is Don Garlits' front-engine dragster hanging from the ceiling. The YouTuber mentions that he recently visited Garlits at his garage. Is it a coincidence Maybe, but the dragster does look awesome as its looms over shoppers at Summit.
In addition to the thousands of parts and components, Summit offers a mind-scrambling variety of memorabilia and gifts. Sean points out an Edelbrock shirt as one of the many clothing items embellished with automotive-related brands. Summit also sells books, remote control cars, toy cars, dog accessories, software, and tools. Let's not forget the enormous spectator chairs outfitted with three cup holders each.
The selection at Summit Racing also includes truck, motorcycle, and marine parts, in case you need to do one-stop shopping for all of your gas-powered vehicles. Even though Sean didn't mention holiday shopping in this video, Summit sure looks like a fantastic place to grab some great gifts for all the car lovers in your life!
