Has anyone seen a schedule for the drag racing to take place at the Moparty event at Beech Bend Dragway in Bowling Green, Ky. yet? There are schedules for the rest of the program, but when I click on drag race schedule, it just says "coming soon". I have sent the drag race director (Lonnie Grim-anyone know how to get in touch with him?) an email two weeks ago, but no response as of today. Trying to find out if Fri & Sat are time trials and/or qualifying, with eliminations on Sunday only? Do drag racers need to pre enter?
Thanks for any info,
Brian

Brian, Lonnie Grim is on Facebook. Maybe try messaging him there. He checks in once in a while on the Drag Week page.

I have bugged Lonnie several times over the last several weeks about why no schedule. Talked to him twice on the phone
Still no schedule....... i mentioned people coming from long ways away( like me and some buddies) and it would be nice to know
Keeps saying we are on it.......

I did send him a private message on facebook, which he responded to this evening. He said that he had just gotten back home from taping a show in Calif for almost 3 weeks. Would check emails soon and respond back.
I'm really not sure what kind of event to expect out of this one. I am used to a Mopar show with drag racing, swap meet and car show, this one sounds more like a Super Chevy Show format?


Thanks, Brian

How is the swap meet at this?

How are the Super Chevy Shows run differently than any Mopar Race?

Would like to hear how this event goes. We are planning on going to it in 2022, if everything goes well. next year is our trip to Norwalk, that was supposed to happen this year... We try to make one long event a summer, and like going to different tracks if possible.

First time this event has been held

Think LS fest..Thats basically what this is. I would like to see a shcedule for the drag racing portion myself as I might be interested in going. But cant wait til last second as I need a hotel since coach is still in vegas

I have no clue what LS Fest does...

Drag Racing, Drifing, Burnout Contest, a variety of modern car classes etc. Drag Week 2013 shared tech day with the final day of LS fest so I got to see a little of what it was(yes it was a mess of a day).

When i talked to the guy he told me the schedule would look similar to the LS fest schedule, which is the week before and is posted. already
Noon to 7 checkin on Thursday for tech and move in. gates close at 7 on Thursday
Things start bright an early on Fri with time trials, etc.

The Mopar shows that I have attended have had drag racing classes, car shows and swap meets. Some have a decent vendor area set up. The Super Chevy shows are more like a circus, with car crushing monsters, jet cars, celebrities, match races ect.. Kinda sounds like what this is? If we go by the LS fest schedule, we have parking & tech on Thursday, time trials and/or qualifying on Fri & Sat (2 per day) and eliminations on Sunday. With all the "social distancing" going on at this time, it sounds like a lot of sitting around to me. I don't know. Been planning to go, but not real sure now. We shall see...

Brian

Seems to be conflicting info, but supposedly you MUST pre enter for this event. Pre entry ends on Sept 11( tomorrow) from info i was given
In case the info above is incorrect, i suggest getting ahold of lonnie grimm, mentioned above, so as not to risk showing up and not getting in, and getting better info.
All of the guys i am going with have preentered.
They are limiting entrants due to covid is what i was told, so by pre entry they can let in just the number they want

Interesting since the site lists onsite prices along with pre entry prices, $25 more at the gate. If I can round up someone to help I was thinking of making it but so far no luck.

Agree, very confusing.
There is a post under shows on For A body forum that a vendor from i believe Georgia mentioned the pre entry deal. If i could figure out how to copy it to here, i would, lol
