We are proud to announce the move to Union County Dragway! The facility is just what the show needed. The track is very well prepped, the landscape is flat and the restrooms have hot showers. We are very excited about the 2013 show.

Due to the move to the new location, there were a few track rule changes.

Please go to our website for more information.

Pic from the 2012 show.

 

Already added it to the calendar Curtis,,,, Looking forward to it!

I'll probably be in a Deuce,,,the sedan or truck. HRP

 

It was a good show when it was in Shelby NC ...
I Will make sure to have a 32 Ford ( 3W coupe or the ROADSTER ) there.

 

Woo Hoo - Now that's a good one to look forward too. You say no lights - Is there anyway we can still get time slips? I've got her on the list. Going to be a busy year.

 

BTW,,that's a cool photo of Tom (coupe) & Henry (roadster),,which one own this time? HRP

 

cool looks like fun. i will put it on the calendar. lets all hope for a warm spring. lots of history at this track.

 

Make sure the bathrooms can handle the expected crowd. Had a blast last year and can't wait to go back.

 

You're going the wrong way, Curtis!

I'll pencil it in, but I think it's a little further away that '12!

 

Tudor, Without the christmas tree/staging lights there will not be a way to get timing slips.

motoandy, That is one of the many reasons for moving to Union County. The facility is much better and will be able to handle the large crowd.

Brett, Just a lttle further drive for you folks driving south but the track is well worth the extra few minutes on the road.

 

HRP, So glad to hear you are coming back and hope your day at the show is without any outside interruptions like last year!

 

put a reminder on here a little closer to the date, should be cool

 

Will try to make it up with the rest of the Sock Fuckers, but the roadster won't be there for reasons beyond my control (health wise).

 

Can't wait! And they have hot showers! Froze my butt off last year.

 

Can't wait. Looking forward to it. Might camp out

 

Really enjoyed the show last year- will definitely be back this year.

 

Man,you can say that again,I never was able to find out who the SOB was that scared the living crap out of me with their BS phone call and as I reflect on that day it's probably a good thing I didn't,,,

Thank God it wasn't true but by the time I got in touch with my family my day at the drags was already shot. HRP

 

Looking forward to attending again this year and seeing the new loc.

 

Definitely gonna be checking this show out this year. Could possibly be the maiden voyage road-trip for my Apache!!

 

I will put the hustle on the old truck and see if I can't get her back together for the trip up! I'm looking forward to it

 

Marked on the calendar, Looking forward to it.

 

Looking forward to this, even though it will be a 25 mile drive as opposed to 5 when it was in Shelby. It will be worth the trip.

 

New this year will be a 50s style pin up contest! This will be held in conjunction with the awards on Saturday afternoon.

It is obvious that with all the people that camped Friday and Saturday night last year that this is becoming a large part of the event. The campfires, bench racing, Bsing, late night eating and guitar picking is loads of fun! Look for the Geargoyles encampment this year. On Saturday night after the last band plays, we will have a little shindig going on at our campsite. Come join us!

 

I talked to the other Gasser guys looks like we are going to be there for a grudge race. I don't know how many from the group will be able to come I should know more later but there will be 4 period correct high rpm 4 speed Gasser there for sure probably more.

 

Man I can wait to go. Had at great time last year. Thanks for all the hard work. If you are Hamb in NC SC it must go show.

 

I will freaking be there this year, missed the last two because of work!

 

Yikes! Quite a contrast in beauty between pic #1 and #3, Willie. Would you trust that man to cook your breakfast? vic

 

This venue is only 66 miles verses 101 miles to Shady Side,,it's a lot closer,,looking forward to it. HRP

 

HRP, For YOU!!!! Lucky dog!
