Holley Hot Rod Reunion Bowling Green '16 (1 Viewer)

[Mike_in_Toney]

Does anyone know if there is some sort of schedule for the reunion? I live about three hours away and am hoping to make it just a day trip. I've seen YouTube videos of the cacklefest which I assume is after the racing and it's pretty dark when they do it. I have looked at the website but have yet to see any link to a schedule and tried emailing somebody from NHRA but have heard nothing. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mike, all reunions are handled by the NHRA Motorsports Museum and not NHRA itself. For all the information and to pre-order tickets go here:

I am going for the first time this year and I am really excited. Everyone I know who has been there says it is the greatest deal ever.

 

[Mike_in_Toney]

It is spectacular and I only went for the qualifying day four years ago. Lots of great stuff to see.

.......... I am really excited...........

Stop by the Nitro funny cars to say hello ,
we can give you a tour and have you stand next to the motor when we warm it to get your Nitro fix...
Just ask for Newman...

Mike Tillery & Mike Walker, you will be amazed. Everywhere is a car show. Every hotel parking lot, restaurant, ect. If ya like nostalgia you will love this.
The track is old school. You will be very close to the track. Not hundreds of ft away like newer tracks. Yes the cackle fest is Sat night. If it's yer first time then I recommend it. The host hotel is usually the site of the induction ceremony for the hall of fame inductees for the year. It's free and I highly recommend that.

Be sure to post about your trip when ya get home, & let us know how it went for ya.

Oh, I guess I should have clarified, I did go back in '12 but only for the Friday qualifying. My buddy couldn't get out of a family commitment so we went that day and left about 5:00 to get back to Alabama. Yes it was a sight! Hoping to go this weekend but my buddy had knee surgery last week so he had to bail. I may end up going it alone if I can't find anyone to tag along with. From what I saw the weather should be pretty good this weekend.
