We hate to say it, but for you guys in the northern part of the country, fall is here and there are probably only a few more car show happenings that will occur in 2017. But, one of them is being hosted in Bowling Green, Kentucky, between October 13 and 15, by the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, and is a must-attend event.
This gathering of all things hot rod at Beach Bend Raceway, will deliver three days of nostalgia racing, car shows, autocross, vendor exhibits, a swap meet, and so much more. The Nostalgia Nationals is high-octane enjoyment for the entire family. You will not want to miss this event, as the grounds will be jam-packed with more than 1,500 hot rods, customs, musclecars, trucks and classics built before 1972.
The Goodguys always deliver an all-encompassing event, and if a static car show is not something that gets your blood pumping, either blasting down the quarter-mile or watching others do so will surely make it happen. Prepare to have your ear drums pulsate to the sound of nitro-burning Funny Cars, hugely popular gassers, wheel standing street machines, and many awesome fuel-fed altereds.
If you like your racing with a few curves thrown in, you can participate in the autocross inside the Beech Bend oval track. Finally, you’ll find the parts you need at the swap meet, or your nest project at the Cars for Sale Corral. And don’t worry about the kids tugging at your shirt wanting to leave. They’ll ask you to stay because of the free Kids Zone and many more kid-friendly activities.
The Nostalgia Nationals is another Goodguys event that welcomes late-model, American made or powered musclecars, customs, and trucks, on Sunday for the K&N Filters All American Sunday gathering.
