Kev, you’re in that mag because of your dedication to the motorsports industry period. A lot of people me included love the car guy content and the hot rods you build and can’t wait for you to get the cutty going and put it on the strip.

[@laurenceschnieber5370]

Olds and Caddy were the first production overhead valve engine

[@davidandrews9670]

that looks like a magazine rather than a “newspaper “ format like Drag News.

[@saddletramp6529]

Congrats Kevin on the national recognition!!! Awesome for you and your shop! Bars and triangles = Good! Progress being made...the journey is 1 step at a time. Thanks for including us on this road!!!

[@stephcooper5998]

Kevin, congrats on the magazine appearance. KSR is an influencer across several motor sports as a racer and builder. Now channel viewers get this man up to 500k subs!

[@christopherhess8523]

Could not agree more. Kevin is working his fingers to the bones, so.... Viewers need to use their fingers and help this man get to 500k🎉

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Yessssss 500k let’s goooo!!!!

[@ianf2985]

So well deserved Kevin. Your attention to detail and willingness to help others in their desire to go fast deserves the recognition. Get that framed!!

[@brianatkins8217]

Congrats. I'm 53 years old and honestly think you are one of people I would like to have the opportunity to spend some time with. Glad to see people your age accomplishing something in this industry.

[@patarmstrong3582]

Congratulations on the added fame! Your success is all you. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride,

[@n.leeball3049]

"OCD, but not clinical." Literally laughed out loud! Love that you are sharing all the detail that goes into this build.

[@GreggeSB]

I'm very happy the NHRA has recognized all that you do for the racing crowd. That save on Soccermom when the expansion tank exploded, I don't think anyone else could've pulled that off. Plus, you're a top-notch fabricator, tuner, engine builder, businessman, and father. So many hats for one head, but you wear them all wonderfully. I'm glad to see you get national recognition. Those of us who've been subscribed here for any length of time knew it was only a matter of time. Hopefully, it's just the start of many articles showcasing the skills of yourself and the shop.

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Thanks so much!!

[@tatokay4285]

An Oldsmobile with an Olds Engine doesn't get much better than that! Thanks Kevin!

[@Wickhaven1]

You’re in that magazine because you deserve to be in it. Congrats

[@picklesontheroad]

Man, being in a magazine is pretty cool! I remember the boost my shop got after being voted third best independent shop in Ride Texas Magazine. Was a big boost to the ego, too! So congrats! Loving these videos! Keep em coming!

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Congratulations on the national recognition Kevin, you deserve it. Cutlass is coming along nicely, cage looks super strong, massive triangulation!😁 Your welds look great. Your OCD serves you well in all you build. Love all the content, thanks for taking us along for the ride and education.

[@funvic]

Well it's a good thing I've been watching KSR for about a couple of years now! I'm hip to the influential scene! 😅

[@LazyBoyZR1]

For those of us that enjoy the details, it's why we keep coming back. Watching Pro's work is very entertaining to me.

[@Nh_audios]

Really surprised cleetus isn’t in the mag with all the attention he’s brought to drag racing. But you definitely deserve it.

[@johnpitschi9417]

Given the crowd, you are now officially a LEGEND!

[@petecunnien5368]

Congratulations Kevin, your hard work,love , and dedication have proven you are a very influential and important piece of the hot rod world!!

[@ftcentrepreneur]

Thank you again for teaching us, and a big congratulations on the NHRA magazine print! 👏 That's truly a great accomplishment. Your mom would be proud. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@JohnRoberts71]

[@Aerospace_EdC]

Kevin, running a bit late on the videos. Congrats for the recognition, you deserve it !! The Olds is looking excellent, your attention to all the details weather it's your own or for a customer is admirable.

[@bigsmallblock9480]

I'm not surprised at all Kevin. Congratulations on the recognition.

So glad you're getting recognition you deserve. I would have given a hundred thumbs up if I could. Way to go Kevin!

[@riddlemethis01]

I don't know why but for some reason having a KSR video playing in the background while I work on my Chrysler has become my new therapy after a hectic week so thank you Kevin. You deserve all the good things that come your way 🤟

[@dannmohr5721]

Cutlass build is a welcome Sunday treat. Breakfast tacos and KSR...

[@ericshaffer7088]

Congratulations on the Nhra article. You are dedicated, and it shows. Thanks for giving us a glimpse. Love the channel!

[@ricktaylor1740]

Not OCD just a prefectionist and that's a good thing.

[@davidzimmer2694]

Congrats Kevin. Always a first class fabricator and an outstanding ambassador of our sport.

[@Timbo428CJ]

Making good progress Kev 👍🏼 thanks for sharing!! And congrats on the NHRA article 🏆👍🏻👍🏻

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Thanks 👍

[@joed899]

These videos take me back to when Garret first picked up Ruby and fixed the lightning damage. Watching the build then the race makes me feel like I know the car better and gives a bigger rush watching the race videos.

[@Kindaquick1]

Congratulations on the magazine article. That's awesome. Your attention to detail is very influential to me. You do amazing work.

[@E.T.GARAGE]

30 minutes Video on the nose 👍😎👍

[@trialssteve]

Brother!!! You got a whole page! Well deserved.

[@REDBIRD-95]

Congrats Kevin on the magazine article😁 Have a great Sunday my friend👍

[@ByTheCreekCustoms]

Best part of Sunday!! Congratulations Kevin!!! You are very influential. Your attention to detail inspires me to take the extra time to do things right and in a trick way. Instead of hacking it to get it done. Everyone needs to have the W.W.K.S.D. (what would Kevin Smith do) mind set when building. 😂😅😂

[@CK__00]

Congrats Kevin, hard work and dedication often leads to well deserved recognition!

[@henrybgross4702]

Congratulations on the article. Well deserved.

[@riverrat1284]

It’s become to be a Sunday morning with my coffee tradition!! Keep up the great content

[@dalehannon4922]

Congrats on the article in an NHRA dragster mag that should be pinned up in your trophy case!!

[@kilgorefamily76]

Congrats on the write up Kevin, well deserved.

[@rd-yw8gc]

Your overview of the cage build, the car weight and the speed allowed is really interesting. I enjoy watching the construction along with the design rational. Thanks for taking the time to explain the build to non-pro's like me.

[@adamreynolds1851]

Congrats on the article, well deserved bro

[@kerryevans7413]

Keep plugging along on the build of the Cutlass. You will be done before you know it. And Congratulations on your NHRA article it's great.

[@mark15vintage9]

Congratulations on your recognition. Well deserved. All you have to do is watch your channel to see why. Cant wait to see your Old on the track kicking butt and taking names.

[@rbye]

I love being able to watch all of this come together. This is going to be an amazing car. I can’t wait to see it all done.

[@briananderson5284]

Wow Awesome Congratulations!! Just goes to show you how Awesome you are and the kind of work you produce !!!! ❤

[@mikehipperson]

[@Mark_Spivey]

Congratulations Kevin!

[@johnflood2488]

Congratulations. Thanks for showing us what it takes to build and maintain a race car.

[@j.sarnak1391]

Congrats on being published in the Dragster magazine. I am sure that gets some important "eyes" on things you do. I was a machinist by trade but always loved playing around with hot rods biggest regret was never learning how to really weld, your fabrication work is pretty amazing.

[@mikemakowski7237]

I subscribe to national dragster for many a year and that's where they have all the best of the best so you hit a home run getting put in that magazine B U D !!!!!! 😁

[@erict.9115]

Congratulations to you on your magazine article. It's a very big deal to end up in print. Congratulations once again

[@fotogfitzfoto412]

it's always great to appear in print. Congratulations.

[@seventybuick]

National Dragster, I didn't know it was still around. You are somebody now, HaHa.

[@teresaharmon4405]

Congrats Kevin!!! Much deserved!

[@ryandunn5362]

Sunday Funday with Influential Kevin!

[@gcrauwels941]

That's awesome! Congrats on getting some exposure. The Cutlass is coming together nicely.

[@shawnrinkel8377]

Hell yea Kevin! KSR for the win!

[@hillbillywes100]

That article is something to be super proud of !!!

[@ronbuckner8179]

Your work on the booick is an “ investment video “ . So it will have a chance to age like a fine whine. I agree with them you are definitely creating influence in the hot rod world. I don’t think you could do what you do without being OCD, at least a little bit. Requiring every thing level, they’d be off-level. And well,… maybe not clinical, but definitely verifiable.

[@chriswebb3183]

Congrats! Your Mom is so proud of you! Keep going with the amazing projects you motivate people and change lives!

[@patrickbachman2184]

Just finished Clays latest video,now bang,here comes Kevin!

[@KSRPerformanceFabrication]

Perfect timing!!
