There's several posts on the hamb about this. Seems a neighbor who is a lawyer shut the access road down.

I had heard that the drive in and out was a nightmare. Never been to the Columbus strip...how is the access there? That's a meet I'd like to do next year.

I really enjoyed th NHRR in 05 but the traffic in and out was a *.  My understanding is that one of the two entrances was accessed over a lane that crossed private property.  New owner said "No".  But even if the access problem was resolved there was the issue of motel/hotel accomodations.  The town was simply to small for the number of people the event attracted.  One of my friends stayed 50 miles out this year.  No way I am going to do that.

I live about 60 miles south of Bowling Green & have been going to Beech Bend since I was a kid. It's a shame the powers that be never realized what an asset that place is & did something about access  to the site . The last two yrs I sat in line 1/1.5 hrs to get in. NHRA had a national event there called Sportsnationals in the 70's so they knew the event would probably outgrow the place. RATS, one less time I get to visit w/ Denise & Rudy.
