cool stuff
Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.

Looks like something from that track? Now if they have 8 year olds running the off road stuff doing wheelies & 5 year olds standing in the burnout box without any hearing or eye protection then for sure its Shannonville!

I stopped at Shannonville at 121 mph last year...no problem. Lots of keyboard racers out there...who haven't got a clue.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

I still think you should come to BPG & show us all how it's done!  :rock:
My offer of Cold Beer is still open!!  :atbeer:

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Yup!! has no idea how much FUN it really is there! So many nice cars, quick cars & then the Fast cars & everyone is out for a Good Time! Now I know why they say if you go once you will keep coming back. I never felt that in Bowling green back in 92.

I missed last year and the year before, I felt lost for a while before after the event. Room was booked etc.

For some strange reason people like to either get very sick or die during that time of year. They need to book with my social engineer when they are gonna be sick or die, hence we can be at BPG. :0.

Heck I had to leave BG a few times too, once after we just got there and just to the track on Tuesday turn around and head for home.

BPG is just so much fun unless you have been there you will never know  ! ! !   Make your plan to go you will not be sorry.

The BPG does its best to make sure everyone Racer/ spectator/Vendor/sponsor has a great time. Issues are taken care of in real time and you can talk to organizers and get those issues resolved. Those that have been there know I run non stop from 1 hour before gates open till the racing ends and i still have enough energy to party into the wee hours of the morning. It is that personal touch the BPG provides that makes the event grow every year...
