    OK, it's been a rabid topic over the past several weeks and now it's finally....final.

    Yes, you'll see events missing and changes. Dear conspiracy theorists, please realize that making decisions to change an event, and especially delete one, are VERY difficult and by no means taken lightly and are definitely not politically - yes, that includes drag racing.

    If you have a question, ask, instead of being a dick and/or spreading your own take on the matter. Those who know me know that I'll tell you what's up.

    Gone: Bowling Green, Drag acing at Indy, Pocono, Orange County

    Added: Another Lone Star Nationals, another Del Mar

    Changed: Indy's venue and dates, Chicago dates


    Here's the official release and schedule...


    The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association will stage twenty-one dynamic events in 2011. The event lineup features eighteen national events for rods, customs, classics and muscle cars through 1972 vintage as well as three “Get-Together's” in Northern California which welcome all years, American made or powered specialty vehicles.

    Anchored by the Goodguys 14th PPG Nationals, July 8-10 in Columbus, OH (the largest event of the year with over 6,000 cars and 500-plus vendors) the schedule features three brand new events led by the 1st Wix Filters Speedway Nationals, September 16-18 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The first event of its kind ever to be held on the hallowed grounds of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will feature over 3,000 rods, customs, classics and muscle cars, plus vendor exhibits, an AutoCross, swap meet, track cruise and much more! The 1st Spring Lone Star Nationals, March 18-20 at Texas Motor Speedway and the 1st Fall Del Mar Nationals, November 25-27 (Thanksgiving weekend) are brand new to the schedule as well.

    Notable date changes include the 5th PEAK Chicagoland Nationals which will move from its traditional September date to August 12-14 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet. The 10th Great Northwestern Nationals in Spokane, Washington has been moved back one week and will be held August 19-21 at the Spokane Co. Fair & Expo Center.

    The West Coast Nationals, long considered the “crown jewel” of all Goodguys events due to the quality of vehicles in attendance celebrates its 25th anniversary August 26-28. Special silver anniversary activities will take place throughout the weekend in Pleasanton.

    Two popular Friday Night Drag programs featuring sportsman and exhibition cars will be held July 8th at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, OH and on July 22nd and at Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA. Goodguys AutoCross action will be held at fifteen of the twenty one events including a full program at the 14th PPG Nationals in Columbus. For more visit www.good-guys.com

    It was definitely too late to add your suggestion, but I did present it.
     
  8. I always like to kid you about it, but if it ever came down to it I would help in any way I can.

    I want to try that autocross at one of your events when the A is done.

    Will miss Bowling Green, went all 3 years, and would have went for 30 more. Street Rod Nationals in Louisville has over 10k cars show up, we need a KY venue for Good Guys too.

    I had a bad feeling in my gut about Bowling Green. I'm so glad Dad and I went this year. I can't say enough about how well we were treated. What a thrill for Dad and I to be able to race each other in front of so many of our car buddies at such a cool track. Goodguys and John Drummond made it all possible. The weekend will go down in my families history of one of our favorite weekends spent together with our cars. Please extend my gratitude to your GG's "family" from mine.
