The Laid-Back Chill-Fest At NCM Motorsports Park 2018: Starting Off The Power Tour With Road Course Laps!


The Laid-Back Chill-Fest At NCM Motorsports Park 2018: Starting Off The Power Tour With Road Course Laps!

There are neat machines prowling all over Warren County, Kentucky. A quick drive down any street in Bowling Green is like a mini car show: a kit-car Cobra cruising past the dealerships. A Buick GS fueling up next to someone in a gray Camry. The Ringbrothers’ “Defiant” AMC Javelin rolling past a Sonic like it’s just a regular Friday afternoon. Yup, the Power Tour crowd has descended upon the city! Officially, the event kicks off in full force Saturday at Beech Bend Raceway, but there was plenty to see and do on Friday, so with my wife in tow, we went out and checked out a couple of events.

The first one we stopped at was the Laid-Back Chill-Fest at NCM Motorsports Park. Hosted by Laid-Back, Holley/MSD, Pilot Transport and All American Billet, it serves as the kickoff part for the Power Tour and is basically a gearhead’s relaxing day in the sun…if they so wish. Want to ride go-karts at the Kartplex? Have at it! Just want to relax and rest up before the long drive? Throw out the chairs and rig up the sunshade. Or, you could have the time of your life and take advantage of the free touring laps that NCM was generously offering. I could’ve sworn that I was giving up beating on the Chrysler this year, but I couldn’t help myself…I thought Haley should see a few laps of the course without resorting to watching footage on YouTube. These were 75% laps…you would’ve had to have gotten really stupid to be in trouble, but I was over 100 MPH on the straight and sweeping into the Sinkhole corner in third gear with some mild tire protest!
