Chevellabration 12
Who plans to be there ? If you are going you really need to get your registration in soon .There are currently only a few over 100 registered cars which is a pretty low number for an event of that size ,we need to get the numbers up if we want to see future Chevellabrations .
|
Unfortunately I am not going. It is a long trip and my sister is getting married that weekend. One other thing... I am making the wedding cake so I really need to be here.
It is a great time and I hope that if anyone is able to, that they attend Chevellabration. |
I really did want to go. Much rather be there then another wedding :)
But the heat and walking were so hard on me last year... |
For grumpy, he needs to have access to a golf cart. And unfortunately we were told last year that we couldn't use one. It is just hard and actually dangerous for grumpy on the uneven grass, don't need him to fall and mess his neck and back up any more. I will miss Chevellabration.
|
We will miss you too ,but hopefully you will be at Ohio .
|
Oh yes we will be. I am still trying to figure out our sponsorship budget. I need to make my hotel reservations, kids can't wait to go. They spent 3 days in the pool.
|
So who is going to Chevellabration ?
Looks like the only hotel we can find will be a few miles away from Moss Wright Park. We are hoping to leave about 4am on Saturday and get in Saturday about noon. |
We are staying at Days Inn on Conference Drive (615-851-6600) ,dont know if they are booked up yet .Same place we always stay ,just above ground zero where Heart Of Dixie cooks up their cajun food. Cant wait to see everyone that can make it, we are heading up thursday morning.

We at the Holiday Inn Express this year...can't deal with the room prices at the Best Western. Not worth what their asking...
This is our 13th year attending...probably stayed at most of the hotels in that area at one time or another. |
We have stayed in several different ones but this one we like and the rate is around $59 per night.
|
Got a room at the Courtyard by Marriott. It wasn't really bad for last minute. The room rate was $139.00 with a king bed and a sleeper sofa. We are bringing my son Jacob, he was at Chevellabration last year and loved it. So I figure for the 3 of us the price isn't bad and bonus it is a lot closer than some of the other hotels that actually had rooms. Is something else going on that weekend ?
|
There is some kind of country music thing going on .
|
Bonnaroo Music Festival (June 7th - 10th) draws people from around the country and creates all sorts of traffic if you come through at the wrong time.
|
Last year they had the Bonaroo traffic pretty well under control when we went through there ,hope for the same this year but then again we were there early.

I think Bonnaroo only affects those coming from the South as you pass it on the way north to the Park.
Could be wrong though and am feeling too lazy to google the map. |
We come from the north and saw probably about 20 cars last year, but we were there early. Been keeping up with Mark, from the Ohio Club, He should be in Goodletsville by now.
I have been wondering if my registration made it there on time. I have been watching the P.O. Box to see if my check was returned. I didn't want to bother Chuck, I figured he had enough going on this week. Well I got my answer today. We to the P.O. Box, and there it was. A postcard stating that my registration number was in the 180's. Does that mean that there are about 180-200 cars registered ? Do you know flash ? |
180 isn't as bad as it was seeming initially but still quite low! Speaking of, where the heck did I place that little blue card???? Probably would have forgot it at home had I not read this!
|
Glad to be of some help. Eric, I will be hanging out with the guys from the Ohio Club. Mark has been kind enough to offer me some space for my chairs under his canopy. I will probably wear a Woodward Dream Cruise, or Detroit Dragway shirt. So hopefully we will be able to find each other. Or just look for flash and his Mrs. they are usually selling the raffle tickets and they would be able to tell you where I am.
|
Who me ,I dont know them people . You could not have picked a better bunch to hang out with though ,those guys from Ohio are great and we are looking forward to seeing them as well as everyone else .It will be a family reunion again. Eric ,I will gladly point you to the Grumpy's ,great folks and better friends you wont find. Ms Grumpy ,I have a little something for you ,just remind me if I forget ,that old age thing you know ,I cant remember nothing.
|
We missed going this year, been thinking about everyone there. Can you send some pic's our way? How many cars are there?
|
Hope everyone had a great time there. I agree some pictures would be great.

Didn't get any photos of drag racing as I was busy taking my car down the track.
Did go to autocross and take photos though http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1339338741 http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1339338746 http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1339338878 http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1339338891 http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1339338896 http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1339338753 |

Awesome Pics!!! Thanks.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

Are you serious about the peoples choice award?
|
That was a cool car but too modified for my taste but I would love to drive it just once. I think what impressed most was the attention to detail and the twin turbo's ,it was very well done.
