Well the 3rd Annual Holly NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, held June 17-19 2005 at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Ky, is now history, and in my opinion will go down in Rodding History as being one of best ever.  This Event has it all, Car Show, Nostalgic Drags and famous Nostalgic Racers, concert by Gary Lewis and the Playboys, it has it ALL.   Minnie and I arrived at The Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and were greeted by a super nice fellow named Bill Groak who helped us get registered. We had a teriffic weekend, everything was perfect, we saw many old friends and made some new ones, which brings me to the winner of the Minnies Pick Award.   It goes to a wonderful couple with a Super nice 32 Ford Sedan.   Jim and Janie Nichols from Waterford, Mi. are the winners of the Coveted Minnies Pick Award, and I wholeheartedly agree with Minnie, they were great people and had a beautiful car. Now lets look at some car pics. Jack
