Welcome To Helena Valley Timing Association

Thanks once again goes out to the Helena area residents and all the car show participants for another great year.  The 6th annual Blast From the Past car show was a great success.  So may good people and so many great cars make it a very special event. The participants have worked so hard to build these vehicles and are quite proud of them as they should be. We at The Helena Valley Timing Association want to say how proud we are of the participants and their hard work. We look forward to seeing all of you again this year for another great show.We are scheduled this year (2012) for June 29th, 30th, and July 1st.

It will be a fun day…

They will be held at the Helena Regional Airport.  We will have signs and markers and maps available to the participants and public at Saturdays show & shine car show. Tentative schedule looks like this:

• Car show participants are admitted free to the grounds but must pay the race fee if racing.
• DOT approved helmets are a standard requirement for racers as well as seat belts
