Thu, 2008-05-29 21:35
What better gift is there, to give dad on Father's Day, than a car? And
you can give him one by being one of the first 1,000 people through the
spectator's gate on Father's Day, Sun., Jun. 15, at the 6th Holley NHRA
National Hot Rod Reunion. The 3-day Reunion, which runs from Jun.
13-15, will be held at legendary Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, Ky.
"We're giving the first 1,000 spectators through the gate a Mattel Hot Wheels collectible die-cast car to help celebrate Father's Day," said Tony Thacker, executive director of the nonprofit Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California, which produces and benefits from the event. "Usually, it's the kids asking dad to give them a car, but by getting dad up early, the kids will be able to give dad a car - and get one for themselves, too."

Mattel, which is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Hot Wheels, has long been a supporter of the Parks Museum, located in Pomona, Calif. The company produces more "cars" than any other company and Hot Wheels was the major sponsor of drag racing legends Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen during their heyday on the track.
The 6th annual Holley NHRA National Hot Rod Reunion, June 13-15 at Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, Ky., is a 3-day festival of speed, hot rods and American automotive enthusiasm. Produced by the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum and presented by the Automobile Club of Southern California, the Reunion is part of the museum's "living history" philosophy, which works to bring to life the sights, sounds and people who made history in the early days of drag racing, land speed racing and the golden age of American car culture.
Unique among motorsports events, the Reunion honors some of the top names in hot rodding from the past and features a fabulous array of cool drag cars, street rods and customs of the historic and present-day hot rod eras.
Those purchasing their credentials at least three weeks before the event receive significant added value including a "goodie" bag, Reunion program, commemorative dash plaque and a colorful and collectible plastic souvenir credential. Three-day credentials ($55 each) are available at 800/884-NHRA or through an application on the Museum's web site at http://museum.nhra.com. Individual tickets are available day-of the event. Cost per person: Friday, $20; Saturday, $20; Sunday, $15. Children 15 and under are free when accompanied by an adult.
