Picks From Bowling Green May 13, 2008

[turbo39151]

I went today Wednesday the 14th. Rained in the am and was overcast for the afternoon. This was my first time there and sadly I wasn't terribly impressed. There were maybe 30 TR's and a handfull of GS cars. The vendors were virtually non-existent- maybe 10 in all.

I saw some of the drag races which were awesome! But I don't know if the $20 per person price of admission was worth it for the minimal turn-out. I had mainly wanted to check out the vendors. I had been hoping that it would be like the Pomona,CA swap meet but it was more like a tiny yard sale. Granted it was crappy weather but once it cleared there wasn't much change.

I hope that maybe next year will be better.

I'll see if I can post a few pics in a while

I have gone in 2005 and last year. From what I remember beginning Thursday and Friday alot more of the race cars start to show up for the TSM, TSO etc...for TNT and qualifying.
I know some guys from the Dayton and Cincinnati area will be there tomorrow.
Hope the weather holds up for you guys that did make it down.

I will be coming down Friday and Saturday in hopes of finding and purchasing a car. Sounds like that may not be the case with low attendance. Will this trip be worth my time and money to find a gn? What do you guys think, really dont want to make the trip if there are not many cars 4 sale.

Look for a gentleman by the name Lee Thompson, he has a nice 87 that he took down thats for sale. He posted it in the cars for sale section also., to give you an idea of what it looks like .
There is usually a good showing of cars for sale, GN's and GS's and others.

I see my old "yeller car" is still chuggin along!!

Is that a new intake manifold? Just don't remember that huge plenum but it's been a couple of years since I've seen the car in person.

That's the same intake that has been on the engine since it was built in
1996. According to my records .

Here's a few pics that I took of various stuff. Not great, just some pics...

I'll try to post some more Saturday night. I saw some GN's on trailers that looked like they were for sale. Not too many vendors on Tuesday, didn't go out there today.

Thanks, Dan.

And thanks for the great pictures, guys. As for vendors and turnout, I think that the weekend is the best. Weather.com says partly cloudy today, mostly sunny Saturday, 20% chance of rain both days. Hope it stays clear for y'all.

It's a little cloudy right now, but should be cool and partly cloudy rest of the day. Track should be good.
