First time show in America. Hosted at Brainerd international raceway in Minnesota. We went to the show not having any idea of what to expect. The trip up was a nightmare we pulled the pop up camper with the Belair with the bikes strapped to the back of the camper. the temps were in the high 90′s with not a cloud in the sky we did not even get 50 miles out when the trailer started bucking violently from side to side if we went anything over 55 mph.Then the fuel pump started to vapor lock the car died on the side of the road about 5 or 6 times packing ice around the pump would buy us about another twenty miles. A two and a half hr. drive turned into a 10 hr nightmare! My wife was not in a good mood at all the kids were also not so happy. Then we were shocked at the ticket prices there was a misunderstanding we thought when we pre registered at back to the fifties show we thought 130$ was the camping the car and the people in it . Wrong they wanted another 90$ apiece !I thought this was going to be a family event.$ 130 for the car and driver+90+90+90 wholy crap $400 for a weekend of play kind of nuts,but we were finaly there and the was no turning back now! set up camp and then passed out from exsaustion. soon to be woke up to a huge thunder and lightining storm mixed with huge winds five and a half inches of rain fell overnight and everything was like a big lake the car was parked in about 4 inches of water. Thinking to my self this is awesome. NOT! this sucks and nobody was in a good mood. we headed out to the track praying the fuel pump would work well it did and we had a frickin blast. we left the clamp on trailer mirrors on the car for entertainment purposes only the open cruising event turned into a full all out road race we had 4 people in the car ripping around the track passing people and just having a ball.lots to do and see burn out shows drifting,power skids,bikini contest.everyones mood was getting better by the minute there was not alot of people at this first time event so there was no waiting around for any event the day ended on a positive note and everyone had a great time. Later that night a trailer load of people showed up to check out the car a few of them were on the track earlier that day getting passed by a big orange belair with 4 people in the car and they were impressed and entertained at the same time.The car ran and handled awesome! sun.was a different story we went to head out on the track to get some videos on the road track driving experience and more gremlins showed up to the party the rear brakes started grinding and hanging up after scratching my head trying to figure out why they were grinding put some spacers in to center the pad basket better and went for a test drive and found out why fast! hit the gas and sheared the pinion shaft in half! huh thats bad! my nephew that came with us won a pair of subs.from a raffle ticket and shortly after we won the cruise event trophy and a hundred bucks. this helped with the towing bill to have the car hauled home on.What an adventure met some really fun and intresting people along the way. the event was really fun just a bit out of hand price wise hope they figure it out for next year because we would like to go try it again. Hopefully with a new rear end and more power!
