Event Coverage Bowling Green registration is open, who's going this year?

I look forward to it every year, it's my vacation. My room is already booked at the Courtyard Marriott across from the Sloan center. Hope to see a bunch of guys from here this year! I'll have the old blue truck there!

 

Never been but would sure like to make it some year. Great event, beautiful part of the country too.
BTW, I gotta say I really like your truck's stance. It's perfect. And once you get the stance right, the rest of it falls right into place. It's bitchin', hope we see more of it.

 

Little Truckdoctor and I will be there and staying in the same hotel as Lloyd. I gotta get my ass in gear and start working on Old Blue. He’s due for a good road trip. Now, I have to pull the pan and check the rod bearing clearances. I don’t have time to get the newer drivetrain installed, so the 216 will have to take us down there and bring us home!

 

I sure would if the guys would have the 348/409 shoot out there.

 

I looked at the Show and Shine entry form earlier today.
I know this is a fund raiser for the NHRA Museum, but I was a little shocked at the $90 entry fee.

 

NHRA Hot Rod Reunion

 

Hey cob, it's called the Wally parks nostalgia nationals now.

 

Yeah it went up again, but $90 gets 2 passes, car in the show, drag racing, swap meet, for all 3 days. That's $15 a day for 2 people. I don't go to beaches or pigeon forge, so it's still cheap for me.

 

90 bucks for 3 days ain't a bad deal now days.

 

Yeah no shit! My hotel was around $800! But I like getting in town on Wednesday.

 

If things stay the way they are, one of you crazy bastards can roll into Mt Sterling Ky on Tuesday June 11th and be my ride or die lol... free pass and free hotel. I gots no woman now!

 

Now that's an offer

 

Fixed that entry form for ya....

 

Oops, I forgot about the name change last year.

 

I'll be there lord willing and the creeks don't rise. I think $95 ($5 processing fee whatever the hell that is) is a little salty too. Anyone remember what we paid last year? It's still a great event even at that price. Way the hell better than a Goodguys or NSRA event.

 

I believe it was $75 last year, $65 the year before iirc. Yeah it's so much more than just a car show! Hell I enjoy the night life part of it

 

I think I am going to pass This year past the price I am willing to pay. Lots of other stuff to do

 

You guys must not like drag racing, just car show people. Cost more than that to go to an NHRA big show. Guess I wasn't thinking that you guys just wanna car show.

 

I'm thinking I might make it. Probably not in the Willys though. I'll be sure to buy a stack of old magazines from Enloe.

 

Glad I live close enough that I don’t have to pay for a motel

 

I'll be there, for what that's worth.........

 

Met you there 2-3 years ago, Lloyd. A friend and I might go again this year. I am also thinking about Lloydfest- It's quite a haul for me in Mi though. We'll see....

 

This event should be a bucket list deal for anyone who digs fast and great old classic vehicles. Best show on the east coast by far. Great nostalgia drag racing and a car show to boot. Definitely not a folding chair cruise in. I’m booked at the Hilton Garden Inn next door to you guys. Plans are not concrete, but I’ve got my fingers crossed we make it.

 

Yes sir I remember you! Hope you get to come to both events this year, ya only get to live once

 

If ya make it, be sure to come over to the hotel parking at night

 

I’ll be sure to look you guys up.

 

I told ya what I'd do man, throw it on a trailer and unload it at the hotel!! Drive it back and forth to Beech Bend park

 

That may happen yet. I’d really like to drive it down, I’ve been reading all of everyone’s road trip stories, and feel like I’m missing out. Come hell or high water, we will be there! The trailer and Silverado will be our backup plan.
