The 10th Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion presented by AAA (June 14-16) not only puts on a thrilling drag race, it's also the place to walk and gawk at thousands of beautiful cars entered in the SoffSeal Show 'N' Shine and Memory Lane. For a decade, car lovers and hot rodders have come to the Reunion's Show 'N' Shine to see a variety of cars (nearly 2,000) including customs, classics, street rods, race cars, muscle cars, and trucks held at the beautiful Beech Bend Raceway grounds.
New for the 10th - Street Rodder magazine and Painless Performance has named the Reunion as one of the 10 premier U.S. events - this means show car participants will have yet another coveted award up for grabs. Street Rodder Magazine staff will select 10 significant cars or trucks at the Reunion. These rods will be pictured in Street Rodder magazine and will be posted on the Painless Performance Presents the Street Rodder Top 100 section of www.streetrodder.com
"We are very pleased to have Painless Performance and Street Rodder Magazine as part of the SoffSeal Show 'N' Shine program, and now participants will have another amazing incentive to join," said Eileen Daniels, Show N Shine organizer, "Fans from all over the U.S. return to Bowling Green to be a part of this family fun event and just to be at the Reunion is rewarding!"
The SoffSeal Show 'N' Shine is limited to '72 and earlier vehicles in the Hot Rod, Street Rod, Rat Rod, Custom, Classic, Muscle Car, Truck, Classic Chevy '55-'57, Street Gasser, Pro Street, and Open Class '58-'63 categories, and a Memory Lane class for historic race cars is available. All Show 'N' Shine and Memory Lane cars are eligible for the Reunion's Top 50, Street Rodder Magazine Top 10, and Best of the Best awards entitling them to display at the Mac Tool U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. An extra treat for hungry eyes will be the 2012 AMSOIL Vintage Air Street Rodder Tour caravan of beautiful rods.
On Thursday following a full day of fun at the track, the party continues at the Reunion's friendly host hotel, the Holiday Inn University Plaza Hotel and Sloan Convention Center. Show N Shine participants and everyone in town is invited to the Heacock Classic Insurance 10th Anniversary Party starting at 6 p.m. Admission is free. Every year, the Bowling Green Area Convention & Visitor's Bureau, city officials and community members give Reunion fans a taste of true Southern charm. Music, food, prizes and a ribbon cutting are all part of this special gathering.
