Come on up to Minnesota and join the party! Once again, QA1 is throwing a bash at their digs, and are welcoming all car enthusiasts. This year, the Fourth Annual extravaganza is on Friday, July 17. Everyone is welcome, and will get an inside look into how QA1 builds their shock absorbers and other suspension –related components. The open house is a morning-only event (7:00 a.m. – 900 a.m.), so in true gotta-wake-up-and-get-going fashion, stop by and get your healthy dose of donuts and coffee.

Since this is a morning-only show, there is an incentive for early risers. If you can make it to QA1 before 7:30 a.m.—and we strongly urge that you do, the early bird truly does get the worm. Or in this case, the grand prize. By getting there and registering before 7:30, you are entered in the drawing for four new QA1 shock absorbers.

When the festivities at the Annual Open House and Cruise conclude, participants are invited to join in the 27 mile cruise that culminates at the Street Machine Nationals being held at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

If you’re one of those that likes to plan ahead and had preregistered for the Street Machine Nationals, you might want to pick up your SMN registration packet on Thursday night. Not that we’re trying to rush you, but if you have the packet with you when the cruise leaves the QA1 open house, when you get to the fairgrounds, you won’t have to wait in line because you will have preferred entry into the fairground for the event.
