Ford Fest 2023: Retro Meet

10/01/2023

Be transported back to the era of neon, big hair, and synthwave music. Retro Meet rolled into Bowling Green, KY during the NMRA World Finals and Holley Ford Fest, and it was a blast from the past!


This mini version of Retro Meet, reminiscent of Myrtle Beach's Mustang Week, brought the spirit of the 80s and 90s to life. Imagine a throwback paradise where folks donned their retro outfits and danced the night away to iconic hits from that era. It was pure nostalgia!


But the highlight of the night? The burnouts, of course! Suck Bang Blow, a legendary bar born from bikers doing epic burnouts inside the venue, inspired Retro Meet's unique twist. Retro Meet is held at Suck Bang Blow during Mustang Week. Here at Ford Fest, Retro Meet features a mobile box of Lexan windows, smoke-blowing fans, and a metal burnout pad.


Vintage era 1979-1998 Ford Vehicles gathered inside the circle track Saturday night. One by one, they roared to life, unleashing spectacular burnouts for the electrified crowd. It was a tire-scorching spectacle that left everyone in awe!


And let's not forget the Costume Contest! Participants fully embraced the 80s theme and the dance-off competition. The Best Chick & Best Dude battled it out for the grand prize and the honor of being named Retro Meet Costume Contest Champion

So, if you missed Retro Meet at Ford Fest 2023, you missed out on one heck of a time-traveling experience. But don't worry; there's always next year to join the fun, so keep those retro outfits ready and your burnout skills finely tuned. Stay tuned for more throwback goodness at Retro Meet!
