It's getting to be that time again for us Hoosiers to go invade the Beatersville Car & Bike show. It's one of our favorites to kick off the year without a doubt. So, who all's in! Rumor has it that some folks are going up the night before but we're sticking with driving up Sunday morning. Tentative plan is to meet for breakfast at Bubba's (meaning bring ya and egg mcmuffin with ya) AND a full tank of gas around 7:00AM. Never know, might con Bubba into grilling up some breakfast SPAM. Scarf it down hang out for a bit and we'll hit the road around 7:30AM. If you haven't traveled with the Bubba's crew, it means that at 7:35AM you will have to catch up with us down the road. We'll update ASAP if any time changes occur but after speaking with Bubba, this should be set in stone. Hope to see yall there and look forward to yeat another great drive and time at Beatersville. For you Indy folks, we have locals Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes playing the Beatersville show this year so give them some love and let em know how much the tear the house down.
Put me down for..... me.... Lets see, bring my own breakfast.. Egg McPear Salsa sounds good.... Actually.....I have room for a rider...If anyone can put up with my constant talking...
Holy cow next weekend boys and girls!! Plan is still the same, meet at Bubba's (with a full tank of gas) at 7:00, heading out 7:30 sharp.
Bumpity bump. Weather looks awesome for the show. Sunny and 80's! I mean, when has the weather forecast EVER been wrong. Time to clean up the roadster and get out the cracker spread (that's sun screen for us white folks)!
Heading down Fri night (4 cars) staying to see some kin-folk for a day the into the beater show sunday, and heading back down on monday.....From Chicago
I'm going to be at Brian's (BlktopBandit) in Dayton the day before for his gig. Deciding if I want to drive to L'ville from Dayton just for a day. Can you give me some insight to this event. Held in a bar parking lot??
It's a Bubba's approved event if that tells ya anything. It quite frankly is one of our favorite shows of the year and ranks right there with the Road Rocket Rumble and the Hunnert Car. Location is everything and the Phoenix Hill Tavern is a tremendous place. It fills up fast with neat cars and good people. And if ya get too hot you can duck in the tavern for some cooooold beer and A/C. Can also catch the Indy 500 on the tube. Great bands playing and one of our local Indy favorites Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes is an exceptional bonus for all of us. So in a nutshell, yes make the trip and get there early. We're leaving Indy at 7:30 with only one planned gas stop and plan to be there before the gates open.
We're leaving Bubba's at 7:30, so I would guesstimate us rolling past around 8:15ish. I would say be ready to jump off the exit ramp and hop on aboard as we'll keep the train rolling.
Sunday Sunday Sunday!! Looks like we're gonna have a great group of about 10-15 cars plus picking up some good friends along the way at the Edinburgh exit.

OK My pics of the run from Bubba's to Beatersville are a part of this collection. They were too big to load, so I put them together.. My Beatersville collection is here: http://s132.photobucket.com/albums/q27/tierod_bill/Beatersville 08/ FYI: Eagletucky's (Tim) Buick won an award... Thanks to Lindross and GMC Bubba for the gathering place and guidance on the trip down. Jim, new Wed night project,,,Make garage door bigger...
You guys are more than welcome to come back anytime. It isnt often we give a guy some shit the first evening, we musta have liked you both. BTW, real men swallow that juice and dont spit in a can.
Least you new wed night guys dont have to bring deer sausage to get in the door at bubbas....Beatersville was real fun the drive down was one of my favorite hotrod memories I was a bit worried about running out of gas though....
what about a bottle? Does that make me half man? Yeah i may head up there again. Not this week since i have to save gas money for rust revival but maybe next week. I liked it. First real hot rod guys ive met. Your shop is SWEET!
UPDATE on the Buick....... I checked the mileage at the gas station right by my house Sunday night when I got home.... 20 MILES TO THE GALLON on the new drivetrain!!!!! I only used 12.5 gallons from Indy to L ville and back! Thanks to everyone...had a blast at the show!!! Winning "Best Primer" made it all the better!
Tim was so fast on getting his Award for Best Primer....that he was just a blur...I never seen anybody that fast... Yod'a thought they said "free beer". CONGRATULATIONS ....
The ghost of Tim Present. Congratulations you trophy whore! Well deserved, glad to see your car going again.
