Other Neat Stuff to Do
There are tons of fun things to do in the Chattanooga area, including the Tennessee Aquarium, Rock City Gardens, and Ruby Fall. But a very special attraction for “gear heads” is the Coker Museum located at 1309 Chestnut Street in Chattanooga. Admission is normally $12 but is only $10 for seniors, first responders, active military, and veterans (which covers many of us LBC type folks!). https://cokermuseum.com/
Another attraction you might be interested in is the International Towing Museum located at 3315 Broad Street, also in downtown Chattanooga. Normal admission is $10 but is discounted to $9 for seniors and $8.50 for AAA members.
Non-Ethanol Petrol
Midnight Oil @ 9043 Lee Hwy in Ooletwah, approximately 0.5 mile from Springhill Suites
Circle K @5020 Little Debbie Parkway in Collegedale, approximately 0,4 miles from the show venue.
Valve Cover Races
We are planning to run Valve Cover Races at this year’s show. This is great fun folks, so drag out that old dusty valve cover you have siting in the garage, have a look at the rules listed below and maybe do a bit of Google investigation, then go to work and build your race car. This a simple project that can reap loads of fun for years to come. Hope we have a great turn out at the races!
