Bowling green 2012 - who's going?

I'll be there again. My dad and I go for Father's Day. I'm flying into Nashville to meet him then riding up. This will be our third time and we always have a blast! Can't wait!!

 

I'll be there, look for a half finished 58 impala

 

HOG Man, you gonna put some nasty nitro in the SBC??????????????????

 

Isn't it funny how different folks feel differently about certain things. If they moved it I wouldn't attend at a different venue that's how much I love Beech Bend.

It rained last year on Saturday so there is no way you can compare the change yet. In the past Sunday was like a ghost town so the comparsion will be Thursday comparing to Sunday.

 

tickets are bought, motel room at the host motel. leaving thursday mrn. out of cartersville, ga. anybody want to caravan, let me know. best event in the south!

 

I will be heading up there for sure, I need a vacation.

 

i'll be lookin you up, dave.

 

I'll be there driving the Wizz Kids Jr. Fuel dragster.

 

Hope to be there in the new old push truck. Will take all take all of Thursday to get there at 49 mph but we will still b cool

 

Missed last year after my racing buddy p***ed away. We used to take a motor home and stay from tuesday thur sunday. Lots of great things to see and people to shoot the bull with. Only one I have missed in the last several years except for the one they had up north, glad they moved it back to Beach Bend. A few HAMB compatable photos from '05

 

gasman, I'm from Blairsville. Do you ever go over to Paradise in Calhoun? We run over there now and then. There is a "block party" at Walmart here in Blairsville on the first Fri. night each month and a cruise-in on the town square on the (I think, they just changed it) third Saturday night, come on up and see us.

 

Exactly!

 

I went the very first year and I've been trying to get back ever since, but one thing or the other always got in the way. Can't believe 10 years have gone by already! This year my oldest son and I, along with a bunch of buddies will be making the trip back down. Hotel is booked, car is almost ready....

 

I liked that schedule better too. The way its set up now we still drive home Sunday but have to get there a day earlier. I expect it'll make a better spectator show Thu-Sat though.

Ha..I'd like to someday, maybe in a different car. For now I'll leave nitro to those smarter than me.

We shouldn't be hard to find. It'll be good to see you again.

 

The boy will be with me again this year Dave, he said that you need to toss him a large shirt into the stands this year, as he has outgrown the one he caught 2 years ago..lol See ya there !

 

Will be there as a spectator, dragster project hit some snags. Drove 12 hours last year to watch the racing (rusty ford coupe with the home made zoomies stole the show). Top notch cars in the car show and very nice people through out.

 

You went to a race and didn't have any gas ??? there's a station off the Corvette exit that sells race fuel................

 

Can someone tell me a little bit about the campground and what goes on there.

 

....what goes on in the campground.....stays in the campground...(except those things that dont wash off, they stick around with you for a while..)

 

sounds good to me!

 

planning on it....number three for me

 

I'm really hoping I'm there this year! I usually get stuck at work that weekend. I've been in the past. It's s great show!

 

He must have grown a bunch, wasn't that shirt way too big for him then? I think we're throwing can coozies this year though. They cost less so we can toss more of them.

 

Yup!

Me and a whole lotta other racers. The track posted on their website that there was going to be fuel available. I and I'm sure many others that race feel that when you go to a track or especially an event to "race" that there will be "race fuel" available.

This was not my first rodeo or my first time at the Reunion and I've never taken fuel with me to an event out of state.

Although I think this is a good event as a "spectator" it ****ed as a compe***or. Even the NHRA staff was perturbed. I had a much better time when it was in Columbus, OH and I'm sure that there are other tracks, like Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, that would welcome an event like this more than Dallas Jones.

To those that think Bowling Green is great, obviously you're there to party and that's fine. Like I said, as a spectator it's a good time. But as a compe***or, there are much better places, and I'm not just referring to the fuel situation. Talk to those that were in the "swamp lands" called "the pits"!

 

hey dave, throw me a coozie with a beer inside.lol.

 

As a race spectator I am there to watch vintage race cars under cover of shade in some very cool stands that are located just FEET away from the cars going down the dragstrip along with having a wonderful gr*** area to park my car and some shade trees to sit under when I'm not watching the racing. Yeah, I guess Beech Bend Raceway ****s

 

hi, i will be at paridise next week. i am going to the cruise in sat. nite on the square in cartersville, if it does not rain. look me up, mark 678-713-6220

 

will be there with the turqoise and white 56 chevy belair stop and say hi, may be a beer in it for ya. spectator side behind stands at starting line.

 

I plan on being there again this year. Hopefully the weather will be better.

 

i will try to get there with my wifes truck. unfortunatly i havent got a car or truck to take of my own.
