New Goodguys Events in '08

Just found out that you HAMBers in Norwalk, OH, Bowling Green, KY and Pocono Raceway areas will get new Goodguys events in 2008. The Norwalk and Bowling Green events are to have nostalgia drags like at Indy!!! Way cool.

So I take it that pocono will replace hershey?

 

The Jalopy Showdown replaced GoodGuys Hershey for me.

Appears that way...happening on September 26, 27 & 28 inside the Pocono Raceway track.

I just may have to attend the one at Pocono.It's only about 7 miles from my house .

 

Thanks for the invite .. Glad that your making your pad the HAMB POCONO HOTEL ...........

 

When is bowling green. I went to the nhra reunion every year there till this year when it went to columbus.

 

Woha...I dont know about that!!

 

With that date for Pocono, is it replacing the RainBeck Show?

 

That Pocono date sounds like they want to take advantage of the crowds who won't be able to squeeze in the gate of the Second Annual Jalopy Showdown Drags; why they always tryin' to ride Larry's coattail?

 

I hope the bowling green goodguys is true i miss the hotrod reunion.bowling green needs another big event to take the reunions place.

 

If that is true about the pocono date that might be the same weekend as the drags at beaver springs...

 

Good Deal for BG>>>

 

Just not bigger than the town can handle. About 1/4 the size of the final HRR there.

 

the town could handle it,,it was just the asshole neighbor/lawyer that had the problem,,a new/the old access road is open again(i think the old neigbor/asshole lawyer finally moved)

 

I would go to this one .

 

I feel sorry for Kirk... another few weeks on the road.. but always glad to see another event, especially with racing

 

thats the only reason I can figure they would go to Pocono..

IMHO... that place SUCKS for an event thats not centered on driving.. .

 

He probably moved back to Columbus, Ohio where he was originally from

NHRA only understands money. They don't care about local yokel shenanigans.

Snooze, you lose.

 

I'm glad GG's are going to Bowling Green, KY. I just hope the event is half as good as the Hot Rod Reunion was. If it ends in KY its got to be good.

 

Swell.
Dilute the good shows by adding more shows..

 

Has any of this been confirmed yet?

 

Yep...confirmed. You should see something officially on their website or in the Gazette soon.

 

I should be able to give you the official scoop on the three new events/venues tomorrow.

There are Hotels everywhere and new ones being built. The NMRA finals (Mustangs),and Mucle car shootouts are held there, and for years it was a big hot-spot for the NHRA. There is such a Nostalgic vibe in Bowling Green that someone needs to be using it!! Myself-I can't wait!!!!!

Alright, it's tomorrow. Dish already!

 

I'm waiting on the final word. I have a meeting shortly, and should know after that.

 

man, thats a long meeting. must be beer involved .

 

Meeting's over. I can't give official word until next week. Sorry! Goodguys is trying to be fair to poeple who preregistered for events that are moving or are no longer happening by giving them first chance.

You guys are getting warm though.

 

that is cool,,i think the NHRA seriously fucked up by moving from beechbend,,buy that is my opinion,,that is cool GOODGUYS is (might be )bringing a show to this venue....i guess i will go ahead and become a "Good Guy"
