2006 GM Small Car Bash

<img src="https://www.cobaltss.net/articles/gmscb06.gif" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5">Well folks, here it is, what you’ve been waiting for, the announcement of the 2006 GM Small Car Bash!
Location: Marion, IL
Date: Aug. 25-27

Thus far, we have the following tentative schedule worked out:

Friday:
- “Fast and Furious” night at I-57 Dragstrip. $5 Admission; Test & Tune, Grudge Racing 6 - midnight.

Saturday:

AM – Meet and Greet at Williamson Co. Fairgrounds. Further events to be added as interest is shown

PM – Drag Racing at I-57 Dragstrip. Cost and schedule to be announced.

Sunday:
- Car Show at Williamson Co. Fairgrounds
- Awards

As with last year, there will be no host hotel this year. However, we are currently populating and will be releasing shortly a list of hotels in the area. We are taking into consideration comments from last year's bash regarding the locations of the hotels and their proximity to one another, so that hopefully, this list will include larger sized hotels that are capable of accommodating a larger portion of GMSCB participants, and will be nearer to one another.

For up to the date information on the only US GM Small Car Event, please visit www.gmsmallcarbash.com/

Hope to see a lot of Cobalt nation out there representing this year!

Rock on! I have been waiting for this all year! I will be there! I hope everyone will try to make it. It was a blast last year!

For those that don’t know, this event is the “national” CobaltSS.net meet or gathering. We do it with Tim from GMSCB since his event is well organized and attracts many people including GM

According to MapQuest: Total Est. Time: 8 hours, 39 minutes Total Est. Distance: 545.17 miles for me

If anyone else comes from my area, or from a little north of me, we should all meet up somewhere in ohio and all go. There are a lot of SS/SC in the north east area.

Sounds great, maybe we can get the rest of the PA crew, although 9 hours is a long drive so some of them might not be up to it.

Too bad this all isn't till Aug.

That is a good thing; we can plan a huge event and get at least 100-200 Cobalts there.
