east tn hamb'ers

howdy,
I'm new to the hamb and was wondering if there was anyone on here from the east tn area. and if anyone knows of any nostalgic drag racing or dirt track racing around here? I am workin on a traditional A hot rod and wondered if there was any events or races around here.
Thanks

 

Whereabouts in East TN are you?

There's something called "Drag Bash" in Knoxville next March:

Don't know about any nostalgiac dirt track races but there are car shows and rod runs all over the place.

My Brother Is The One That Puts On The Drag Bash.the Next One Is Sunday Sept. 14th At Knoxville Dragway.

 

Go to dragbash.com for more info.

 

Talk to Ratster or Tingler here, there good folks and from out your way.

 

The Moonshine rod run is going on in Newport, TN this weekend (June 21). No racing, but a nice cruise through town on Friday.

 

thanks guys. I'm in knoxville. those shows sound cool. I'll definately look into them.

 

Hey banger,
There are a lot of great HAMB type guy's all over East Tenn. I don't know of any regular weekly or monthly events, but the Hot Rod Reunion in BG Ky. is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I'm sure you've seen the pics on here. I know it ain't local but take a buddy and split expences and you'll be surprised how much fun you can have REAL cheap!

Don't forget about the Shades of the Past in P Forge. Maryville has a great cruise night at the mall every Fri. night and I just heard they moved the one on Sat. night in Knoxville back to the old K-Mart parking lot (I think it Joe Neubert now) on Clinton hwy. There are a couple of annual or semi-annual events held at the local drag strips (see ERKEL's post) some are more accepted buy the HAMB's trad. police than others. But I've always had fun at all of 'em so if you dig it do it.

If I have time to get the brakes sorted out on my '55 I'll race you to Newport Sat. morning lol. I live out here in east Knox County so I might have a little head start on you. I'm looking forward to that one, everybody says it's great. Good luck.

 

Let's try for an east Tenn. HAMB get together sometime soon. Anyone got any ideas???

 

i can't wait for the drag bash. the Greazie Hubcapz will be ther in full force.

 

I'll be there in Sept. Hey Scott between you and ratster I am sure the two of you can make this thing happen for the E Tenn Hamb members to get together.

 

lol Scott might make it happen, ratster would have to get up off his lazy *** and do something before he could make it happen, hahahahaha
