HAMB Members, The 2011 GASSER Reunion has a new 'nostalgia' home! June 10-12, 2011 Beaver Springs Raceway Beaver Springs, PA After I get back from Thanksgiving in San Francisco, the website will have more info. The event will be run as it has for the last nine years. Less Rules, More Racing. Always open to great ideas from HAMB'ers. Looking forward to seeing HAMB'ers there! Support the H.A.M.B.!

Bookmarked this thread. Might have to change date for my planned US vacation (and explain to my wife she has to either come with me or explore Manhattan by herself)
JC, yep same....and the best part is as far as I know, Thompson will still have their nostalgia reunion the week before!
======================================================= We will likely hit Thompson,and skip the Beaver event.. Bowling Green is the following weekend.. Rick
This is shaping up to be a AWESOME event! The Period Correct AA/GS cars will be there in a "SHOOT-OUT" to determine the KING of AA/GS nostalgia racing! If your into straight axle BLOWN GASSERS..this event is a MUST ATTEND! In addition to the Nostalgia AA/GSer's there will be a full compliment of gas classes...including the East Coast Gassers and a bunch of other classes to fit in all most ANY gasser! More info. can be found at http://www.gassermagazine.com/
I started the original and only real GASSER Reunion. First was at Thompson, later we moved to Norwalk and now we're at BEAVER SPRINGS DRAGWAY in Pennsylvania. Beaver Bob is way cool and the excitement from GASSERGUYS is amazing. See you there! Ernest McIntyre, editor GASSER Magazine
Thanks for starting the Reunions. I went to all the Thompson ones and last years Norwalk event. Enjoyed them all, rain and all. IMO The meet belonged at Thompson. Norwalk was too new or too nice for the nostalgic effect that Thompson provided. Not happy it moved to Beaver but c'est la vie.
I haven't been to Thompson or Norwalk, but I have been to Beaver Springs. Do not worry about the "nostalgia effect" being lost. Trust me, a trip from Cleveland would be worthwhile. Beaver Springs is a great place and Beaver Bob has a great attitude. This will be a fun event!
I have never been to the reunion but had a great time at the HAMB drags last Oct watching the gassers do their thing ! Thanks for all the Gassers for putting on a great show ! My wife just told me we need to go again to see the Gassers so I will see you all there ! Will there be a swap meet and vendors there too ? If I can only go one day which day will be the best ? Hey Gasserguy , thanks for the great idea ! Retro Jim
Don is so right, We have been going since it started at thompson, and you dont want to miss a minute! Specially if Don is there Cause you never know what his car is gonna do. Cant wait!! R.I.P. Fire suit Phil I will miss seeing him this year.
Some pics from the Gasser Reunion. Thompson was a good track for this event but in my opinion Beaver Springs is even better. This track is the best place I've been for Nostalgia Drag Racing and Beaver Bob just loves the Nostalgia stuff.
