    Who's going to Bowling green for the show this year? I haven't been to this one. I go to the Hot Rod Reunion every year and if this is even close to it, it should be a good time. We will be taking the wagon again. This time it isn't going to be the "guy trip" as the whole family is going we will be camping as usual.
    Feel free to post up pics of what you are driving so we know who to look for.

    I appreciate this cooler Fall event rather that the hot, hot, Hot Rod Reunion. I be driving my fleetline.
    Here it is, from last years event:

    The day previous to this Saturday shot, I was parked around the corner. I must have been in the right spot, because a GG photographer shot her and gave Ashley a nearly half page photo and caption in the March 16 Gazetteer! Thanks Good Guys!

    So if I was to cruise down just for the day on Saturday it would cost me $55 to get in? I wouldn't be racing obviously just hanging out for 5-6 hours and then making the 2.5 hour drive home....

    I'll be there enloe. They're really promoting it! Glad they moved it back to October, cooler temps suit me. The 3rd time they had it there it was a big event, hope they can get it back. Really enjoy the Nostalgia Drag Racing and word had it there used to be an after hours burn-out contest in the campground. Hooligans!;)

    I think if you're wanting to get a car in probably so. Seems like I've heard they'll lower it on Sunday? If you're just spectating $22 at the gate but you'll save a buck or two if you purchase tickets ahead of time.

    You know that pic of my wagon was right across from where you were parked.

    Where are you staying?
    Maybe we can hook up for dinner while we are there we are going to be in the campground again.

    I hope we get good weather and we don't have to worry about a lot of leftover rain from the hurricanes.
    I guess to be on the safe side I should reapply the Rainx
     
  17. im taking the 31 Chrysler. I have heard some rumors they are bringing back the hot rod shoot out for street cars. I cant seem to find anything on the gg site related to it. I called their office and left a message as instructed. they said they would get back to me in 24 hrs. its been 48 with no return call. does anyone know for sure?

    Well I am getting pretty excited. Our workweek starts on Saturday and I talked to my boss today and asked if it was ok if I did what testing I was going to do this weekend. He said "sure no problem". I said I was going to try to have my 40 in by Monday evening then was going to take the rest of the week off and not use any vacation. He laughed and said "that sounds like a good plan".

    I went last year, the swap meet is about 1/3 the size if the HRR. And i just think the show's kinda $$ but I'm a tight ***. .....Campground burnouts, hmmmm.......I seem to recall a bit of noise and asphalt relocation back in June around 1am. It's been a selling point to a few of my buddies for camping next year!

    I'm going this year. Didn't go last year due to them letting everything in. It's never been as big as the NHHR. Don't remember which year it was, but it was flat*** bitter cold.

    The race car that I crew on will be on its way to Bakersfield for the CHRR but I am planning on coming down on Saturday for the day. It is the final race of the season for the NDRL so they will be out in force. Looking forward to seeing you Enloe.

    I am excited as we will be tent camping again. I can always add more cover to get warm. When we are there in June I don't have a air conditioner in the tent to keep me cool.

    We will look forward to seeing again Roo
