We recently learned of the passing of one of our longtime supporters, Patrick Roughton.

Many of you may know the Roughton family from their years of participation in the Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival. Earlier this spring, after Patrick was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, his son, D.J., set out to fulfill one of his dad's lifelong dreams. D.J. traded his Corvette for a Superformance Mk III Cobra so Patrick could finally experience the car he had always wanted.

The family was able to bring Patrick to a recent Mid-America Cobra Club autocross, where he spent some time around the cars he loved. Because of his fragile condition, Patrick wasn't able to ride in the Cobra that day, and the family hoped he would regain enough strength from his treatments to enjoy that experience in the weeks ahead. D.J. had also hoped to bring his father to this year's Revival and take him around the historic race course in his dream car.

Sadly, Patrick passed away on June 13 at the age of 57 before ever getting the chance to ride in the Cobra. While we are heartbroken for D.J. and the entire Roughton family, we are grateful for the many years that they were able to share together with us in Garnett.

Please join us in keeping the Roughton family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Patrick. We'll see you on the next lap. ❤️

Some cars shine because of what's been done to them… others shine because of what hasn't.

Congratulations to Kenneth Robbs of Baldwin City, Kansas, for earning the Unrestored Gem award with his 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z28. Still wearing the character and history it has accumulated over the decades, this survivor stood out to the judges as a rare glimpse into the past.

A big thank you to Gateway Classic Cars of Kansas City for sponsoring the 2025 Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival Car Show.

Registration is now open for the 13th annual Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival, October 10–11.

Back in 1963, Ken Miles himself took part in the Lake Garnett Grand Prix — adding a little extra legend to an already storied lakeside road course.

So here’s the question:
If Ken were still with us today, what would he bring back to Garnett?

Many visitors discover that half the fun is hunting down the pieces. Of course, dressing up is completely optional — everyone is welcome to stroll Revival Row, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy the experience however they choose.

Every so often, a car pops up on RacingJunk.com Classifieds that makes you stop scrolling for a second.

This is one of those cars.

As part of our partnership with RacingJunk.com, we’re spotlighting interesting machines we’d love to see someday at the Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival.

This time, it’s a sharp American Motors AMX.

Back in the muscle car era, the spotlight usually went to Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers. But AMC was building some cool cars of their own, and the AMX has always been one of the more unique and underrated pony cars from that period.

Short wheelbase. Aggressive styling. Big personality. And this one is a particularly nice example.

Take a look here:

We’d love to see something like this cruising around Lake Garnett someday.

Classic roadster feel with a timeless British edge.

Congratulations to Matt Jenkinson of Overland Park, Kansas, for earning Outstanding British Sports Car – Post ’72 with his sharp 1976 Triumph TR6. Representing the best in class, this award highlights a car that delivers pure driving enjoyment with unmistakable style.

With its low stance, open-top design, and driver-focused feel, the TR6 is exactly the kind of sports car that belongs on the Lake Garnett course— engine singing, and carving through every turn.

A true British classic that continues to perform where it matters most.
