Jolopy showdown,beaver springs pa?

Is the jalopy showdown worth a 3 hour ride,how many cars do they get?

 

You're kidding right??
I WISH it were only 3 hours for me.
I drive almost 9 hours each way to attend the Jalopy Showdown in York Springs in May each year.

The event you are referring to at Beaver Springs is a drag race and would be WELL WORTH a 3 hour drive.

 

Thats the answer im looking for,dont want to show up and see 50 cars,lol

 

We are towing 4 1/2 or so to go play

 

Jalopy showdown SHOWS are at Lattimore, near Gettysburg, VERYVERY worthwhile.
Beaver Springs is old time drag race...only time I went was a total typhoon washout, so no direct knowledge, but I would bet money on its being worth the trip too. I'll be traveling there.

 

3 hours? Do it. 100% Fun. Sorry I will miss it this year.

Hell a 3 hr. drive? I took a 24 hr. ride one way to The Lone Star RoundUp. Although I did cheat to take a plane to the LA roadster and GNRS which was a 6 hr. plane ride. Perhaps others and I are diehards?

It surely is refreshing to see different cars and build styles as it gets downright boring to see the same thing locally time after time....

 

I made a 3 hour trip there last year and it was rained out. I still thought it was worth it

 

Well I got the ok to bring my minibike to race between heats!
A bunch of us are coming from nyc 4 hours .AND ITS WORTH IT ALWAYS!

 

What is the date on it?

 

Sept 29th -- less than 2 weeks away. It's 5 1/2 hours for us on a good day towing the Falcon. We're there every year. This is the most fun racing event of the year. Hell, even the long distance car wash was a great time !!!!

 

September 29

 

Gonna try to go and drag the old man out there!

 

Thanks!

 

Worth **walking** to....the only reason I'm not going to be there this year is because my daughter is getting married. Go check it out!

 

Are you boys camping both Friday and Saturday nights?

 

6 hours for me.
See ya there

 

Must be good if you guys are traveling that far!

 

Hahaha I am yes my dear, your car show boyfriend will be there saturday he has pryer plans with his spouse! For Friday

SO WHO'S BRINGING THERE MINIBIKE TO RACE?

 

I'm getting mine tuned up as I type!! Hopefully it will actually run for once hahahaha!

 

For those of us not camping at the race track, where is everybody else staying, hotels wise? I got on the Jalopy Showdown website, but the hotel page showed zilch....???

 

I wish it was closer to me, perhaps one day I'll make it.

 

There really is not anything in the way of hotels near the track. Your best bet would be in the selisgrove/hummels wharf area. That is about a half hour from the track along rt.15. Or try the Lewistown area if you are coming from the west.
