It is with an extremely sad heart that we have to announce the passing of Woody Carrell. As many know, Woody's Hot Rodz was named after Woody. While growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, our founder Chris Sondles described Woody as a real life "Fonzie" from the 70s hit show "Happy Days". Woody's knowledge of cars was unmatched. His unwavering grit and humor made him someone that once you met him, he was either your friend for life or someone you wouldn't want to mess with. We will always thank him for his determination, unwavering support, and for the life lessons he taught us all. He will never be forgotten, God Speed Wood. We love you.

Each year the Tri-Five Nationals presented by CPP is a reunion of sorts for people who get together from all parts of the country and from around the world. One of the funniest areas of the Nationals doesn't get much coverage: the Beech Bend Campground.

The campground is run by the facility, adjoins the track, and is first come, first serve. This makes the "power parking" spots coveted, and usually they are already taken by the time we get there on Monday morning to set up!

Share your memories and pictures with us all from the fun in the campground if you stay there during the event!!
