Event Coverage Hot Rod Reunion Bowling Green 2015 (Who is going)

What is the weather looking like?

 

Right now it says 50% chance of rain on Friday and Saturday and hot. In the mid 90's every day.

 

That means there is a 50% chance it won't rain and still hot

 

HRR still a long way off. Maybe it will be like 2013. Temps in low seventies no humidity or rain.

I can take the hot,,But would be a long drive to watch it rain....Its still early though

 

some rain while we are in the tent at night would not bother me. it would cool it down.

 

Just looked at weather underground and they are not showing rain Fri_Sat only Tue Wed Thurs at this point,,Guess I need to change oil

 

Get after it.

 

A few years back i sat under my tent and watched folks leave because of the rain.Most of em. weather cleared out, they finished the drag race and i had one of the best HRR I've ever had. I aint gonna melt.

 

Bruce,you might be OK in the rain but Carlos might have a problem.

Talked to JOYFLEA today and he will be camping with us next week

 

Found a crack in the trans case today so it's coming out tomorrow and a new one going in tomorrow night/ Saturday. Nothing like a mad dash to the finish right?

 

Hammer Down

 

4 days and a wakeup or 2 more work days for me. I don't know which way it is better to look it.

 

Finished my trans last night ran it this morning. Runs good. 2 more work days and we're heading out!

 

Hells yeah

 

last year was good weather wise, won my first round, went a 12.22 on a 12.22, beat a 9 sec nova who ran a 9.70 on a 9.69.....then a cool front came through fri nite and in round 2 I red lit and went a 12.16, everybody broke out on sat., but sat weather was perfect........in staging lane

 

...

 

Yeah carlos DOSE NOT like the rain!! He sorta gets all mushy over it!

 

Me to

 

Planning on driving the Willys down from Ohio Wednesday morning.>PROBABLY in the RAIN.
This is an older picture, its got WIPERS now!
I guess I wasted the last couple of days cleaning it up.
Momma always said "CAN'T CHANGE THE WEATHER"

 

You have to go into bowling green knowing it's going to rain. It does it every year.

 

Well I've drove 1138 miles and have made it to Alabama just now . Will go to Bowling Green tomorrow after SRG and go to the corvette museum . Will see everybody at the races . Blue

 

I'll be going Friday & Saturday for my first time, what's to be expected? From reading here, it sounds similar to the Indy goodguys when it was back at the Raceway Park 6+ years ago. Show and Shine, swap meet and nostalgia drag racing?

How is the swap meet, pretty big? are there the big name vendor trailers there? Any show buildings to get inside to beat the heat, or rain?

 

Love the Corvette Museum

 

I enjoy the swap meet I have been to bigger and smaller swap meets but there is usually some cool stuff.
No show buildings.
There are Some big vendors. There is a good cruise in at the Holiday inn at night.
Look forward to a good time.

 

36DodgeRam, the HRR is like IRP on steroids. Trust me when I tell you the Nostalgia drag racing is non stop. IRP has bleachers out in the sun which are quite a ways back off the track. Beech Bend does not have bleachers. The spectators chairs are covered not out in the sun and are right on top of the track. Swap meet and vendors are not the attraction at the HRR. Nostalgia drag racing is what its all about. Just remember to bring ear protection. See you there.

 

It's the only event that I actually look forward to every year!
I have only missed a couple of times and that was because I had no choice.
Be prepared for a hot time, they don't call it "Boiling" Green for nothing!

I agree it's the racing. I'm on my third year and the racing is the best. And everything else is a plus. Going to try camping this year. It is nothing but a gas.

 

Racing and campground fun!
