"Live" from NHRA Hot Rod Reunion!

Larry Hill · 06-14-2011, 04:17 PM

We are in Bowling Green, KY for the big Hot Rod Reunion! This is the first one that we have attended, but everyone who has been here in recent years say it is the biggest party of the year here at Beech Bend. We got home Sunday from Joliet, unloaded the dirty laundry, loaded up with groceries, did a little work (like payroll), and left again this morning. We are going to be running Top Stock here in B/S which is a 10.50 class. I guess we will find out all the rules as we go along. There are also Nostalgia Super Stock, old gasses, old top fueler, old funny cars and others. This along with a big bunch of "Shine and Show" cars. I will be posting pictures along the way. The race runs from Thursday thru Saturday.

This should be fun!!

If you are coming out, come by to see us. Redman got us a very good spot just across from the score boards along the main road. Thanks, Red!

We'll see you tomorrow night. We got the evil green car fired Sunday afternoon. Apparently, we got your luck from last year.

DragnWagn is heading down there tonight!

Chad Mahlosky · 06-14-2011, 06:27 PM

Dad and I attend every year, and you're right, it's a party that has some racing going on. Top stock is what I always run, just a hard dial for the entire race. We will see you guys tomorrow.

Wish we were going, but dad has carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow in his right hand, so we won't be out for a few weeks.

Larry Hill · 06-14-2011, 08:47 PM

Well after rain on the way here and for a while this afternoon, it turned into a beautiful evening. The grounds at the Augusta golf course have nothing on the grounds here. Everything is all mowed and very nice. Our pits look better than our lawn at home! I guess we will see all you guys when you get here. Andrew, tell Greg we wish him well with his surgery. We have tech tomorrow, then 2 runs on Thurs, 1 run on Friday and 1st round of eliminations on Friday. Then finish up on Saturday. We have already met some very nice people here. We will get some pics tomorrow.

Larry, I'll be there in the morning. Look forward to seeing you and Patsy. We left Joliet around noon, dropped the car off at Cope's and made it home around 7:30. too much to catch up on here so we are headed out at 6am. See you tomorrow.
