Good things happening in Northwest Ohio. 7 First-Gens at the show tonight.

12 registered so far, looks like double on Saturday. https://forms.gle/hRrEuU2mSKgVCKQr9

I drove two hours, 130+ miles one way, and spent $15 in tolls to get to this show…and I’d do it again. 500+ cars, a well run show, and a great shaded location. No glamour shots of my car 😂 got excited and forgot. The interesting part of the drive… The meetup for the drive in to the show

Registration link added in the previous post or you can scan QR Code in the image. High speed, low drag!

For those that don’t use social media, and I can think of hundreds reasons not to use social media, there’s the flyer. I’m also going to create a sign up form. I’ll post the link when it’s ready.

I’ve created a public event on Facebook in the group OHIO CAR SHOWS AND CRUISE INS linked below. For those apprehensive about signing up for a public event on Facebook…only your friends (people you’ve accepted friend requests from) and I can see your response. The OHIO CAR SHOWS AND CRUISE INS event will be the main invite in the future. The space the track owner allocated to us is good for about 30 First-Gens, if you’re seriously planning on this event, please sign up so I know if we need more space. The track owner is excited to see how we do and I can probably get a few more spaces if needed. Thanks Mike https://m.facebook.com/events/4025737510883979

10 + hrs, no tolls for me, not that it matters.

I think her family enjoyed it as much as her. https://youtu.be/Zo3ZfUnAdqI

One piece of advice; avoid Charlotte, unless you want your car stolen like Hot Rod Power Tour a few years ago.

I easily could have done double the passes, but then when would I have time for photos?

I’m not sure I understand your question? I made 15 passes in two days. Could’ve raced Sunday too.

Building on our successful Inaugural First-Gen Monte Carlo Takeover at Summit Motorsports Park’s 21st Annual Blue Suede Cruise, the dates have been announced for next year - July 28-30, 2023. Bill Bader has already agreed to provide us the same location near the grand stands for next year. This is a prime location in regards to proximity for fun runs and watching the races from the stands. We fielded 18 First-Gen Monte Carlos at our inaugural event in 2022, let’s see if we can reach 40+ cars and really blow the announcer’s mind. Summit Motorsports Park is at 1300 State Route 18, Norwalk, Ohio. For more information, visit summitmotorsportspark.com or call 419-668-5555.

The dragstrip, large car show, nostalgia drag racing, and facility is why I go. The event is also well photographed, and shared Photos https://www.facebook.com/1040357933/posts/pfbid02b3HsimZWeVrfND9Eub3HhurXYQBHwJynks4MjGJm2HTsu9CoyFkcweZz393UeBEnl/?d=n&mibextid=tKF1Ph https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10224388418071614&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10224388515074039&type=3 https://www.motolenzphotos.com/dragracing/SMP2022/baccut/BSC2022.html

I’m not aware of any First-Gens who didn’t just drive in for Saturday, other than those with RVs who stay at the track. Great link for the hotels.
