I guess since there were no responses that nobody from the list is going to Bristol?

Is anyone planning to attend the Bristol Bash 2002? I'm pretty sure I'm going...

Hey Herb, I'm going! In fact, on Friday the 18th, the Peach State Chevelles, Heart of Dixie Chevelle Club and Mid-South Chevelle Club will be converging at the Chickamauga Marina in Chattanooga, and from there we're going to take in the collection of ACES Member Kayo Erwin. Besides his passion for Chevelles (he brought a PAIR of Z16s to Chevell-abration '99!), he also collects other low-mileage, original musclecars... mostly Chevys, but some really cool "off-brands" as well. After spending a few hours there, we'll make the trek north on secondary roads so we can take a slower pace and enjoy the fall colors in the Smoky Mountains. The amount of daylight left will probably determine whether we take I-81 the rest of the way to Bristol, or jsut stay on secondary roads from Knoxville on.
Naturally, we welcome anyone who's interested in making the trip with us. For more details, call me on the ACES Hotline (615) 773-ACES, and I'll be glad to fax/forward directions to the marina.
I went to the Bash last year, and it was a great time. Lots to do and see, and they even had a portable Dynojet that you could strap your ride to and get some real performance/horsepower figures. It wasn't free, but if I remember, the cost was very affordable. Also, it's a very family-oriented event, and Year One even brings in a portable, inflatable playground for the kids. Bristol Motor Speedway is an incredible facility nestled between a couple of mountains, and the weather that time of the year is very tolerable. I really enjoyed meeting many of the heroes of hotrodding, and collected plenty of autographs.
I'll look for you and your yellow El Camino, Herb. Oh, I almost forgot, I've also arranged for a special Chevelle-only parking area on the show field for ACES Members. Hope to see y'all at the Bash, if not sooner in Chattanooga!
Chuck
