The National Hot Rod Reunion was from Thursday to Saturday at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, KY. It mostly consisted of drag racing (top fuel, funny cars, and old style gassers), looking at cars, shopping t-shirt stands and the swap meet, cacklefest, and meeting a lot of cool and interesting people. We won a set of a jack stands at one of the events (funny coincidence since dad had been saying that maybe we should have brought a set). I got to sit in a couple of drag cars and line the Impala up like it was a push car. We got an offer to push some drag cars, but we decided we'd rather not risk it so that we could continue on our trip (maybe next year!). The most exciting news was that my car won a Top 50 award from the NHRA and got to be in the parade down the dragstrip! Some favorite pictures are below.

| This person has great taste! Awesome interior! If only I had a station wagon...this would go better in a wagon than in a four door. |
