Car Show and Swap Meet Participants Asked to Use BMS South Entrance
BRISTOL, Tenn. (Monday, September 19, 2011) –* Last season, Thunder Valley hosted one of the most successful and well-attended Super Chevy Shows of the year. In 2011, Bristol Dragway officials look to make the event even bigger.
To help streamline the registration process, Dragway and Super Chevy officials ask that all Keisler Engineering car show and Thompson metal swap meet and car corral participants use the South Entrance of Bristol Motor Speedway when arriving for the Super Chevy Show presented by GM Performance Division. The South Entrance is located on Highway 11E/Volunteer Parkway.
For more than 30 years, Super Chevy Show has been known for some of the most exciting bracket and exhibition racing in the country and this year is no different.
Bracket racers will flock to Thunder Valley to take part in exciting racing action in Bracket 1 (Super Pro), Bracket 2 (Pro), DOT and True Street, while Pro Mods, jet cars, monster trucks and much more will keep the strip hot during the pro shows.
Fans also will get to see a spectacular selection of some of the region’s best classic and modern Chevys. Chevy die-hards will be impressed with the attention to detail given to these show machines. The Keisler Engineering Super Chevy car show is one of the biggest and best Chevy car shows around and bowtie fans will not want to miss it.
Anyone interested in locating new products for their restoration project will want to visit the Performance & Restoration Marketplace. If that hard-to-find used part is nowhere to be found, the Thompson Metal car corral and used parts swap meet is definitely the place to go.
Mix in the excitement of Fas Mart Thunder Valley Mayhem presented by Beef O’ Brady’s Family Sports Restaurant on Saturday night, September 24 and this show is a can’t-miss event.
