Hot Rods TRI 5 Nationals Bowling Green KY Who's Going

August 11 and 12 the TRI 5 Nationals are in Bowling Green KY at the Beech Bend Drag Strip. Anyone going? Great show, great nostalgia drag racing, great venue. For me in a no miss event.

A friend of mine took his black 55 prostreet with a blower down there. sent me a pic of a 56 g***er just to tease me.

 

Mecca for Tri Fivers. G-man, please post photos!

 

I WISH I WAS GOING

 

Looks like some of the Meltdown crew is going.

 

Saw a group of five tri-fives g***ing-up in Nitro, WV yesterday and a couple hours later saw a green 150 sedan getting gas in Teays Valley, WV. Looks to be a big turnout!

 

Over 2,500 Tri-5's.

 

A few more.

 

Last group.

 

Gotta work this weekend, so thanks for the pics, and any more, anyone comes up with.
Not usually a huge Nomad guy but must say this is a favorite so far of pics posted

 

Thanks for posting all of the great pictures of some really COOL looking cars.

I wish I was there

 

Sometimes the planets line up. My eldest child received her bachelor's degree this weekend. And just happened to move to Bowling Green, KY this year! Just touched down in Baltimore this morning. Father in law and I escaped on Saturday to attend the nat's. Lots of racing. next year, somehow, I'm taking the Chevy. And I'm gonna beat on it. Told the F.I.L. we have seen the promised land! No ****, there was a dude walking around with a full back tattoo: Tri Five Nationals. Pic of the Woody's car. ********...

 

Thanks for pics

Yes sir, South Bend Raceway is in a valley, cell phone killed itself looking for a signal. Stupid import rental car won't charge a phone w engine off. No excuse for the ****py pics but I'm a tech knuckle dragger. A few more. The white 57 in the post above was an 11 second car and launched nice! Seaweed flames on this '55 were to die for.

 

Hmm, only took 3 pics of non '57s. In previous post.
I'm a little obsessed with the 'sevens..

 

I didn't get the wife's 57 Nomad done in time for her to drive it, but we were already registered and went anyway. It was a good event and the wife says I better have it ready for next year. I only needed a couple of weeks more and it would have been done. Did pick up some parts for it though.

What I found was that the top 25 cars were mostly big wheeled. Although there were 2 g***ers in the top 25. The top 5 cars all had big wheels. Out of all the nice G***ers, the Best G***er award went to an altered wheel base car.

We had a good time and already signed up for next year.

 

More pics please

 

Enloe - a few more for ya, bro

 

Worthy of note -
'57 Chevys dump fuel out of the filler neck if your car turns 13 second or better 1/4 mile times. Watched it over and over at the drags.
Primered 2 doors are now 20K cars(!)
Add 10k to that for a paint job.
Damn, were're all getting old.

 

Man I love Bowling Green. I will be back there with the family camping out in the wagon for the GOODGUYS show

 

...is this show only open to 55, 56, and 57 CHEVYs, cars and trucks?

 

Rusty - Yes. There were about 6 other brand cars there all in a group by the upper fence by themselves. Had ''Vendor'' placards in the window. A crown Vic and some streetrods.
Several tri 5 Corvettes and one school bus (really!) were in attendance.

 

Ran into a old high school cl***mate it's good to know you're not the only Tri Five nut from your school days

 

...Chevy dude, thanks,...so they gave away a 55, a 56 and now a 57,...are they giving away a car next year?...maybe start over with another 55?

 

Was this the give away car?

 

yes. first name drawn was not there 2nd was. lucky dog !

 

Bangshift had a pic of my buddy Gene's 57 man he takes that cat everywhere

 

Looked it over!
