EAMS BamaBash

[bufordt]

From MN, going to FL and wondering if taking an extra day to go to EAMS for BamaBash for Lucas show is worth it. Can anyone comment? Normally, time doesn't allow for anything other than CLS and Knoxville shows. Never been to EAMS.Thanks for commenting.

Yes, will be worth it if you can...

I went for the first time to the National 100 in 2014 after moving down here to Bama, I really enjoyed the track and facility, seems to be a very fan friendly layout. I tried to go to the Bama Bash last year but it rained out and I couldn't get to the Make-up race. Most people probably don't know (and I didn't either) but there a very cool district down town Columbus where the Chattahoochee river runs through and separates Columbus from Phenix City with rapids. Neat area. Also there is no shortage of restaurants and stores in Columbus. Can't wait to try the Bama Bash again this year, especially being Lucas sanctioned.

And if you like BBQ check out chicken comers in columbus. Best bar b que around. But I must warn you. Columbus/phenix city bbq is very different from anywhere else. We love mustard based sauce as we like it loaded with cayenne!

going to give it a try.Thanks!

Also stop by my pit and say hello. I'll be in a red black and white late model running in the steel head class. #88

I'll do so. I am traveling with my two daughters and their friends. Have had some really good times with them over at CLS. Just about all of the drivers (UMP and USA Nats) have been really friendly and patient and taken pictures with them. I think the drivers made some lifelong fans. Looking forward to it.

They gonna run all 17 or whatever of their classes that weekend?

[Punisher88]

I'm sure lol. But I think the schedule will be alot different with the Lucas series there.

I'm tempted to head down from Boyd's on Saturday for my first trip to EAMS, but (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) the horror stories I've heard about all of the classes makes you think twice about it.

(Will still go, probably.)

I was a little skeptical when I went to the National 100 the first time, but if they do the Bash anything like they do the National, they start hot lapping support classes in the morning and have features in the afternoon. Like a previous comment had mentioned, with Lucas sanctioning it on Saturday, you can bet they won't be screwing around too much.

In addition, I actually found a lot of the lower classes to have some great racing, the top 3-5 cars usually are very close and then it tends to fall off through the field, but I enjoyed those afternoon features.

I tried to find a format/schedule flyer or something on the EAMS site for the Bash but didn't see anything.

The Bama Bash doesn't have all of the classes of the National or State race weekends. But they have screwed it up by not having it the weekend after Florida Speedweeks. I'm glad for the Lucas race in April, but wish they wouldn't call it the Bama Bash. I think it's disrespectful to use the name. I'm glad that I went to the real Bama Bash for many years, including the last 2 at Eams.
