Cougarfest 2009

07-18-2009 Cougarfest 2009

Cougarfest 2009 was held in South Bend, Indiana this year. AutoCross was at the Tire Rack Test Track, drag event at Osceola Dragway and the main show at Bendix Woods Park. With all the scattered locations, driving between them doubled as our traffic-blocking cruise, which angered enough motorists to meet the required Cougarfest quotas. A surprising number of new members attended this year to compensate for the veterans who didn't, resulting in the now average 65 Cougars. I'm sure the current average Cougar giveaway price of $3,000 helped. Notable events include a sheered engine mount at the track, touring the Tire Rack facility, a 75 minute odyssey visiting 3 of the 5 "bendix park" locations in South Bend, an off roading semi and of course parking lot shenanigans. I would never have predicted an 11 year run out of this event, and all indications point to several more years before anyone calls it quits.

It will be interesting to see how long it will go when a lot of the originals start to fade away.

Well.. shockingly, the second round of origonals are still holding in there. I'll prob keep going as long as it's going on.

After 1000 trolling comments, 6 agonizing years about cougars, and 970 underwhelming blogs about what makes you chuckle. You Mr. Atomic have let countless (3) people enter your mind. For this gratitude, I will finally reveal my true identity! But I still don’t understand one thing: /upload/090720154330.jpg

It's too bad this post couldn't have been about Stavos' 1000th comment and instead had to be about Cougays.

I liked it a lot this year. I'm glad the weather was nice most of the time, I got to display my Hotwheels collection, and later that day, I won second best stock.
