Hey Chuck,
Your description of the Bash makes me even more excited that
I'm going! Unfortunately I won't be meeting you in Chattanooga since I'm
North of Bristol (about 5-6 hours).
I hope to get on the Dyno and see what my 454 is putting to
the ground. I signed up for the Muscle on the Mountain drag race and the
car show. What do I need to do or who do I see about parking with
ACES?
I'm really looking forward to this road trip - I'll see you
there!
cYa-

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
