The legendary York US30 Drag-O-Way, on the former Jackson Township airport west of York Pennsylvania, has been gone for over 30 years, having last felt slick-sidewall rubber grappling for traction in 1979. NHRA’s former Division 1 Director Darwin Doll, who worked at the track itself from 1959-1961, has hosted the York US30 Reunion and Musclecar Madness event for the last ten years in its memory. As always, the two-day show brings a lot of neat stuff out of the woodwork, and the 2011 version was no exception. As we went to press, Doll told us he has a potential sponsor lined up to help out next year, when the show will occur on July 13-15 (the final day being the Nostalgia Nationals at Beaver Springs covered in Drag Racing Online recently). Incidentally, this date also moves the event off of the same weekend at the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals, freeing up some vendors and owners from that responsibility. We say – BE THERE!...

Rarity only begins to describe the two Pontiacs that collector Nick Smith brought up from Florida. One was the original Mickey Thompson 421 Catalina shown here; the other was the only surviving transaxle AFX Tempest wagon.
