Don’t worry about getting all dressed up for this reunion. It’s the 12th Annual Holley National Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green, Kentucky, taking place June 12-14 this year. The exact location will be at the Beech Bend Raceway Park.
As part of the ongoing Hot Rod Reunion show put on by the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum in Pomona, California, the event is sure to be one heck of a good time thanks to heaps of cars, entertainment, enthusiasts, and more that all come together for three days of fun in the sun. These shows aim to “bring to life the sights, sounds, and people who made history in the early days of drag racing, land speed racing and the golden age of American car culture.”
Big things are planned for the event. On Thursday, you’ll be able to watch “Hot Heads” drag racing, which will consist of eliminator qualifying and exhibition runs, starting at 10:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m.. Friday will see the qualifications for the time trials competition starting at 8:30 a.m. and at noon you’ll be able to see some awesome funny car and top fuel action.
Saturday will finish off the party right with funny car and top fuel eliminations at 11:00 a.m. and later in the day the judges will gather to announce the awards and honorees of the Show ‘N Shine contest. Be sure to tune in for the Cacklefest parade too which starts at 7:30 p.m. and ends before 9:00 p.m..
