The BoneYard Bash originally designed for fans to mingle with the sports more visible personalities, in just its second year has become much more.
Hosted by Madison’s sports themed family restaurant, the BoneYard Grill, this year’s event will be a must attend for every hydroplane race fan young and old.
The 13-living Miss Madison drivers are scheduled to attend and there will be a special acknowledgement for their individual accomplishments to the Miss Madison Racing program from 8:00p-9:00p.
The drivers, coming from as far away as Washington and Florida include Buddy Byers, the senior Miss Madison driver along with Tom Sheehy (1973/1982), Milner Irvin (1974/1978-81/1984), Ron Snyder (1976/1982-84/1986-88), Jon Peddie (1977-78), Andy Coker (1985-86), Jerry Hopp (1986/2000), Mitch Evans (1988.), Mike Hanson (1988-98.), Todd Yarling (1999), Charley Wiggins (2000), Nate Brown (2000), and current driver Steve David will be on hand for the celebration.
Surprise guest and actor Jim Caviezel who played the driver in the motion picture Madison was scheduled to attend the Bash however, last minute obligations will keep the star from attending the event this year.
“Never before have we ever had all the Miss Madison living drivers together and we are sure the fans will love retelling their memories of hydroplane racing to their favorite Miss Madison drivers,” Team Manager Charlie Grooms said.
In addition to the former Miss Madison drivers, Brian Perkins, driver of the U-21 Go Fast, Turn Left H1 hydro will be back to defend his celebrity waiter trophy against his fellow racing competitors.
Current unlimited drivers will wait on tables Thursday evening in the BoneYard Grill with the tips going to area Madison charities.  Last year the drivers collected over $2,000 and they are excited to return.
“I can’t wait to get to Madison to see all the fans and friends.  The BoneYard Brash is a great way for fans to get up close and personal with us and we will have the Martini and Rossi National High Points Trophy on display and that is a site much like the Grand Canyon.  Pictures don’t do the trophy justice,”  Steve David said from his Florida home.
Outside the BoneYard Grill will be two bands performing beginning at 6:00p.  Scheduled to play on the Ladder 51 stage will be The Rumors (8:45p-Mid-night) and  Bob Laffery Trio (6:00p-8:00p).  In addition to the music, there will be a mini-bar & BBQ pork sandwiches and pork dinners available.
