A little info on the track, all concrete 1/8th mile, 50ft wide, 1700ft of shut down area, with a very large paved pit area and plenty of paved runner grass pits as well. Track record is 3.66 so we can handle some pretty fast stuff Rocky Flanagn held the worlds fastest powerglide record for a year or so that was set at US43 with a .915 60ft !!!

If Blake and others haven't made it clear, I would like to mention that this event is usually like somewhat of a reunion so, the CAR count is not really indicative of the PEOPLE count. Pit picnic-ing and such is pretty prevalent.
I haven't owned any race vehicle in some time however, I haven't missed one of these yet. Very Happy

Any more information on the dirt drag portion? If you also include a dirt drag I would have a huge dilemia. Do I bring the two drag cars (mustang and 2wd ranger) or two 4x4 trucks, or one of each confused

?

I'd love to be able to make the "Snake Race", but there is no way I could do it in June. Sad

I'd love to have you guys see the truck run in the dirt. Twisted Evil

Blake,

You've certainly been supportive of the events we've held in Owensboro,,, including the Winter Tech Seminars. Count me in and I'll see how many of the local cars I can "convince" to come down there.

This is a big undertaking with a lot of little tasks that will need tending to, so good luck. Don't try to do it all yourself, count on Red and some of your buddies there in the area to help.

I'd like to at least see some heads up index classes. Maybe even a "Small Tire" outlaw class. What about you bruno? Twisted Evil

And still have the box-nobox stuff too. Question

I'll try to work on some guys around here.

I'll probably be on that list of NOT having a car again for another year. I haven't had a car with me for a Bash yet but I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Don't forget to hit me up when you come down to go fishing!

racerk_2000 February 6th 2012, 12:19 am

Hey guys the track is pretty good. Paved parking, and lots of it. It is located in a beautiful country area, but like Blake said, the roads to get there are great.
I know it is in the same general part of the country, it may be a few hours more for some but I believe you will like the place. I look forward to seeing everyone there. I have missed to many Bash dates.

racerk_2000 February 6th 2012, 12:22 am

Hey John, are you going to bring any crawfish?

jbozzelle February 6th 2012, 12:25 am

If they are in season and the price is decent we'll bring 100lbs like we usually do if that is OK with Russell.

About 150 miles for me. Friend of mine that owns the Byhalia and Fulton dragways in Ms. has run there quite a bit and says it is a nice place.

Someone might contact Bobby and Derick Anthony, they might can make it.

Harold, Jack Daniels little cove is not too far east of the track, might get a little nip there.
