Event Coverage MUST ATTEND Shows 2012 - What are the places YOU are gonna be in 2012?

I am not sure I will actually make all these, but here is the plan...

Lonestar Roundup in Austin
HAMB Drags in Joplin
Stray Kat 500 in Dewey
KKOA in Salina

I only made half of these in addition to local stuff this year.

 

VIVA LAS VEGAS = Easter weekend

HOT ROD HAYRIDE = U.K.

OLD STYLE WEEKEND = SWEDEN

GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW

Strictly music - Rockabilly Rave & Rhythm Riot

 

I have again scheduled vacation for Bonneville speed week, Wilmington, OH for ECTA races , no hot rod stuff till I find another project, the Camaro doesn't cut it

 

Nailed it!!! I agree 100%

 

These two Midwest events technically are not car SHOWS (and are not on that first postcard of shows) but are on many peoples' 2012 list:

June 16, 2012 Chrome Czars' Hunnert Car Heads-Up at Union Grove, Wi
www.hunnertcarheadsup.com

&

July 21 and 22, 2012 Fugitives' Meltdown Drags at Byron, Il
www.meltdowndrags.com

There is a whole bunch of us that will not miss either of these events.

Traditional hot rod shows are cool, but traditional hot rod drags are even cooler

 

I hope to make it to all of these:

Grand National Roadster Show
Lone Star Roundup
Hot Rod Revolution

 

Well, if we can call it a "wish list": Salina KKOA meet, HAMB Drags, and the California Hot Rod Reunion.

Realistically?? Probably won't make it to any of 'em but it's fun to dream....

 

Stray Kat 500 for sure.

Maybe:
Lonestar Roundup
KKOA Leadsled Spectacular in Salina

 

MSRA Back to the 50s. Mid June

 

Syracuse Right Coast Nationals
Any "old" drag events

 

Hhhmmm..... I wonder where I will go????

 

1. Back to the 50s
2. Good-guys Columbus
3. NSRA- Kzoo or Vermont not sure yet

 

I TOTALLY AGREE JOIN US FOR THE BATTLE at THE HILL but we do both drag and show with emphasis on DRAGS .....we look forward to these events next year

 

hot rod reunion bowling green. because they like us there!!!!
rest is up in the air. wanna do something a little different this year???

 

For sure...

-Vintage Torquefest
-Iron Invasion
-Relix Riot

Maybe...as funds and vacation time allow.

-Lonestar Roundup
-National Hot Rod Reunion
-Road Rocket Rumble
-NSRA Louisville

 

For sures:

Torquefest (first show Illl be drivin the truck to!)
Iron Invasion
Bombs Away Bash
Meltdown Drags


The rest (On the Independent Syndicates calender..) I am going to try to get to. Probably have to miss 1 or 2. Busy year next year, gettin married...dun dun dun.

Oh, anyone know when Vintage Torque Drags are gunna be? still at cordova? I missed this year, hopin I can make it next...

 

Torquefest - depending on daughters graduation
Lead Sled Spectacular

Probably all I'll be able to swing next year.

 

We are in talks with Cordova - we only got 55 cars out there last year - and I feel it was due to being so close to the Meltdown Drags.
We hope that the cars that support the Heads Up and the Meltdown will support the Cordova event if we have it later in the year.

This way people will have ample time to get their rides back on teh road after breaking them at the Meltdown!!!! ha
We will keep everyone updated.

I hope we have the same kind of expansion that the Meltdown did with their event - from 50 cars the first year to 125 or 140?
what was the final number this past year?

It was an amazing event fer sure!!!!

I will be there in July!

 

Lone Star Roundup
KKOA Salina
Pistons and Paint

 

This year we had 130 or so cars show up IN THE RAIN

Fortunately the 2011 Meltdown Drags had much less carnage than 2010 did - something like two or three rear ends and transmissions as well as an engine for 2010... We were surprised at how much bite Byron has!

Good to hear you enjoyed it. We sure did! We can't wait for July 2012!

 

Torquefest
Road Block
Scrap Drive
Symco
Bombs Away
Iron Invasion
Indy Road Rocket Rumble
HAMB Drags

These for sure, and whatever else pops up and I can find the time to do it.

 

Texas Nostalgia Thunder

Major Old Time Drag Race at San Antonio Raceway on May 4th and 5th, 2012

HAMB Friendly - Overnight Camping - Huge facility with a great 1/4 mile track

Blown Fuel Altereds, Front Motor Fuel Dragsters, Gassers, Traditional Hot Rods, and Super Stockers. The event is produced by the Texas Timing Association, plus a big car show and swap meet put on by the Gear Grinders Car Club of San Antonio.

Trying to scare up a bunch of Dodge and Plymouth (and other early MOPAR brands) guys to show up at Scarry Larrys Jelopy deal at the fair grounds.

Gotta do Milltown, and the gathering of the faithful.

 

Does anyone know if Lance's Milltown show is the first weekend in August in 2012?

 

Old Style Weekend

The Jokers Show


Sell a kidney if you need to, either show is definitely worth it!

 

Where ever the S&S Team needs us to go.

 

The ones I am planning on are NSRA South Knoxville, Frog Follies Evansville, Shades Of The Past, Pigeon Forge and hopefully Redneck Rumble, Lebanon. That's if Health, Money and Car hold out.
