I just spoke to Beaver Bob a bit ago, and he is very, very, interested in promoting/hosting another major Nostalgia event. I informed him of the conversations going on here, and our willingness to get things going. He appears to be real excited, and it could wind up being a three day event, perhaps piggybacking off of his Friday Flashback program. It is time the 422 Motorsports (Ford) guys got their come-uppins, anyway. I informed him that some midwestern guys are interested in making the trip.
Beaver Springs is like a time warp. It is a beautiful, well maintained facility, but is still set up and with the same out buildings it had in the sixties. It is out in the middle of central Pa. farmlands, and is a great place to race.
Nostalgia Pro Stock would be welcome, if we can get enough cars. Otherwise, I am sure the Missile and Fred could pack the house. Plus, whatever other Nostalgia Classes we come up. If we could get one that can also include some of the local racers up there, that could be good, too. I like the idea of a regular NSS, as well as a modified nostalgia for cars that look the part but with a single Dominator, etc. We can work out all the details.
He is willing to drive to meet us somewhere, Bob G is willing to host the meeting, set it up, or even set up a conference call.
Sounds great, guys. Let's get it going. Let's make it happen.

 Sounds great Steve. I am not 100% sure but I think I understood when I talked to BG this morning that this may even happen TWICE.  Once at Beaver Springs, and once at Pittsbugh. BG.???

It very well could. I think Bob is going to talk to Frank about it.
Anyway, we need to get a meeting of the minds and sort of figure out the structure, rules, etc. Those 422 Motorsports boys have been the big gorilla in eastern NSS racing for a while now. It's time to square things up, and for all of us to do some Ford huntin'.

This sounds like a good time, hope it works out for all involved. That being said, how is this going to bring "midwest" racers in ? You guys moved all the way out to Beaver Springs to draw us in? LOL !! Isn't Beaver Springs like 150 miles from the ocean ?  This will be a tough tow for you east coasters at what 70 miles ?   All kidding aside, it's like 550 miles from me here in Michigan. Not really sure what "midwest" you're referring to but I don't see it bringing many of us out because it's so much closer. My car probably won't be done for this anyway, so if you tell me to STFU I'll understand  Anyway, best of luck and take lots of pictures !! Merry Christmas  Marc

"midwest" is a state of mind.  Seriously, there are some guys on this board who have been sort of clamoring for an event that will also feature some "looser rules" NSS cars in addition to the more traditional ones. This is a chance to possibly do that, and give them equal billing. If they are really serious then this may be their chance. That, plus Nostalgia Pro Stocks are a real possibility. It will be a three day shindig....so it could be a lot of racing in a single trip. We have a promotor interested, one who knows what he is doing. Now, the ball is really in our court.

steve, 422 motorsports is the smallest of all the nostalgia super stockers on the east coast. nobody really wants to race with them with there nasty nose up in the air attitude and there steep admission fee, i always pass when they send me there flyer.
as far as racing at beaver springs, id really like a all mopar race there and a race at pittsburgh.
2 classes,one true nss class and a modified class,
all mopars then will be happy and have a king of the hill runoff.
thats what i think would work.

Chris....we need to meet with Beaver Bob and discuss it. Everything is up in the air right now....we know we have a promotor interested....I told him you could bring a ton of cars, we could, too, the S&M - Missile race.....let the 422 guys take on the winner.  A MoPar only deal is a possibility, too, but I know there is concern about the number of cars it would draw. Bob is real, real, keen on a large Nostalgia deal, and very open for a MoPar deal, as well. I informed him of your organization....we need to discuss your rule setup. After the holidays, BG will set up a time/place; and we can all get together, draft some rules, come to a meeting of the minds. We can do this.

JIM, the politically correct term would be aquarium management consultant!
BG is making me out to be a 2nd class citizen, if BG makes me up a set of stickers Yankee Fish Peddler, ill put them on my fenders and leave them on.

When I used to be a Liquid Coatings Specialist (painter) No one was ever politically correct either. People just don't understand
