Beech Bend Race Report:

 Back from a fun weekend in Bowling Green.  The event is the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion.  If you have never been to this event, you must go!  You will see every kind of old race car possible.  Also, the event is huge and completely fills the Beech Bend Raceway property.  Because of the large crowds, I took Joe's and my Cars down to Bowling Green Wednesday evening.  Early Thursday, I got the car teched and went back to the Dealership to work Thursday and Friday.  Saturday morning, Joe & I headed back down to Bowling Green.  When we got there, we had 38 N/SS Cars in our Class!  We got 2 time runs Saturday.  The Drag'n Wag'n went 9.89 & 9.94 in muggy air.  After our runs, 8 of us went to Toot's to eat dinner.  This place has Great Catfish!  We went back to the track and watched the Cacklefest;  40 Dragsters idling at the same time at night, lots of flames and noise.  Sunday eliminations, Joe got beat in the third round.  I was lucky enough to take it to the final round.  I ran Bob Mosher in his Ford.  Bob got me on the tree and took the win, Congrats to Bob!  We had a great time this weekend and look forward to this event next year.  Time to get ready for the Chrysler Classic Race in Pittsburgh!

See you at the races,
