Sunday, August, 24 2008
The city of Newport is bringing back the car show to downtown. Monmouth St. will be filled with cars. The stores will be open and setting up shop on the sidewalks. Mom & pop stores, restaurant and taverns with your favorite ice cold drink will be open on every block.
Hosted by The Scroungers Car Club and sponsors such as Summit Racing, KOI and more you know this will be a great show.
More details as I get them....

 

i might be at the families house down their that weekend

now i have a reason to get away from the inlaws -- lol

 

Bad timing for me as Sat is HAMB drags and then were headed North. wish I'd known earlier!

Hope you have a great show

 

is the Br*** *** still open ?

 

It is the only one still open.

 

br*** *** is still open, same lady owns two more across the street the br*** bull and hudles. not know a thing about those two. the city of newport was trying to get the strip joints out of the city limits, they were trying to push them out p*** bobby mackeys....

 

lol Minia owns the Br*** ***. It's still in the family if anyone knows anything about Newport they will get that. Yes the card games are still around too. Funny how Newport is still known for the girlie bars even when 90% are gone. Minia's Br*** *** will be open the day of the car show if ya want to stop in and say hi to the girls.

 

This was a good show in the past we need the locals to try and hit this and start it up again...

 

Dude, thats funny! The only thing I remember about Northern KY..

 

Thats the only ****ie bar I've been in where I've seen a stripper that was 7 months pregnant dancing, not that I've been in that many, but I'm pretty sure that thats wrong on a lot of different level's.

The city matched the clubs money to be given away for the long haul award. Who ever drives the most miles to get to the show will get $50.00 towards their gas or what ever you want to spend it on.

We are also looking for a pinstriper or other car related booths to set up at the show. There is normally a fee to set up but we pulled some strings and there will be no fee. space is limited so give me a call if you want to set up. I would love to have a pinstriper set up if any of you want to. Brandon?? Darin???

49 wont be done for a long while but it sounds like a good time think i'll check it out...........dave

 

Dave stop on out. You may pick up some cool ideas for your 49. never know.

 

the thing I remember most about newport was the Jockey Club! 633 york street. cincitucky's very own CBGB's.

 

Boy howdy. Is that Main St. all brick/cobble stone? Look's so neat. Wishin' I could visit.

 

nope all black top...Tracks are gone as well...But they have done wonders there its worth the visit just for the riverfront alone..

 

few more days....

 

Should be a good turn out, I hope I can make it guys..

 

There are still a few small streets that are bricked. They have redone one so it's perfect and they may do more. Most of them where covered with blacktop through the years but there is still a lot of the old charm and a wild history to the town. If you get a chance to ever take in the sites get a hold of me and I'll show you around.

I hope to make it down in my 32. Sounds Fun.

 

I've had a few worried about the weather. I just looked at The Weather Channel site and it's only showing rain on Sunday but only 30% down from the 40% when I looked at it a few days ago. By Sunday it may even have less of a chance.
If 30% is all we have to worry about I'd say we will be fine. Don't miss this show, it should be a great time for all..All summer people have stayed home because of the fear of rain at some of the shows I've been to and it never rained. Get out and have a blast. Summer will be ending before you know it and you will be sitting in the house with the heat on wishing it was summer again. Get out and have some fun..
