    2009 Summer Nationals

    It's that time again folks. For all you car nuts out there to get to drool over some sick cars. See burn outs and drag racing on main street. Bikini contests, beer tents and a free pass to act like a moron with out the cops saying to much.

    http://www.summernationals.com/index2.html

    I have been going every year since I can remember. Plus the last few years I have been taking my buddy's 73 Corvette with an original matching numbers 454

    So bring your car, bike, truck, pit bike, lawn mower, barbie mobile with a gas engine or whatever you want down to Woosta and have a good time! Hoods, fenders and exhausts are all optional and not illegal to run that way for the extended weekend.


    I forget the prices on the wrist bands but know the best deal is to entry your car or bike into the show. It cost $45 and comes with 2 wrist bands that cover green hill and downtown for the weekend.

    Hope to see some NESR peeps at the show.

    No. Car sitting still burning rubber. Lebanon Valley Dragway has NE region NHRA's A/FC and A/TF that same weekend. Whatever you do do not eat any lobster from bob.

    Not for real like NHRA sanctioned drag racing. But drag racing into the tunnel on main street. Then burnouts latter on. That is cool enough for me.

    be forewarned: call me old (and I'm only 25 ) but there's usually a lot of hooliganism out there as the night takes shape

    but eh, once a year is worth it...I'll come for a little while on Friday night to pose on the FZR...or maybe ride on the RM125

    It really sucks now that you need wristbands to get anywhere. Back when I was going you could just park and walk anywhere. Now they even charge to sit down in the stands.

    Maybe I'll stop in Thursday, weather permitting.

    Ehhh it gets too hooliganish for me, they just keep charging more and more money to get in as well. There's no way it's worth the $45.00 they're charging.

    NO $12 for one day. $45 will enter your car/bike and give you 2 bands for the whole weekend.

    If you look down, you go down. That may be fun at an orgy, but it sucks on a bike
