Anyone going to Beech Bend?

Since I'm no longer on farcebook figured I'd check here if anyone is heading to Beech Bend this weekend?

Moparty?
Yes, i am going, went last year too.
Had more fun there than at Norwalk for Monster Mopar.
Great event, well worth the effort to get there

How's the drive down there?

We are debating taking the truck and getting a hotel vs the big rv.

Several of us from the St.Louis MO area will be there.

Some racing (I'm entered in the stick class) and some doing the car show.

It's a great event at a great facility.

I take I65 onece i get to Indy from Michigan, right down to exit 28 in Bowling Green. All of 65 in Kentucky is 3 lanes each way.
That said, from Louisville down to almost Elizabethtown, it is quite bumpy at times, then it smooths out.

I’ll be there, arriving Friday.

Yes!! Definitely going, went last year and had a great time! Can not recommend it enough! Nice people and awesome facility too!

Im going, will run NSS, weather looking pretty decent right now

How is the swap meet at the event?

Any recommendations on places to stay or NOT stay?

Thanks

I went last year... ran the Grand Champion competition (mostly pylon autocross, and drag racing... and dyno pull)... BEST Mopar event EVER!

They are expecting over 400% participant increase this year. ON-LINE pre-reg is REQUIRED for everyone... participants, spectators, etc. Just do it before you get to their gates.

I pre-reg'd as soon as it opened cpl months ago.... on line.. Grand Champion competition. They have the Grand Champion competitors do the pylon autocrossing during the daytime, then they have special early evening slot for them to do the drag racing. Dyno-pull can be done anytime.. or at lunch is best.

The vehicle show area is not as big as Colombus or Carlisle, but they'll probably have to expand the area to allow more show vehicles. Check out their web-site for lots of details.

Hotels aren't cheap.. most are nearly sold out... but vacancies should be found. everything is close to the track... 20 minutes away typical. Clarion hotel was low-cost... my group is staying there.

Swap meet isn't very large, but it should grow in size this year.

my daughter went to college in Bowling Green at Western Kentucky. We found a bed and breakfast there called Spongie Acres. It was close to the track. He was a drag racer and has a finished shop that your truck and trailer will fit in. We always asked for the basement as it has a pool table, game room and wide screen tv, If someone is looking for a place to stay they will treat you like royalty. Birdtracker

yes i am going. feel free to stop by and say hi.

We’ve been here in BG for a few years and I’d never heard of that place. I just looked it up and it seemed really nice, then I saw this.

I called and left a message to see if they have any rooms. I have to figure the new owners are still using it as a bed and breakfast. Birdtracker

Getting saddled up now..head out in the morning
Looking forward to seeing how much it has grown from last year
