Remember when individual innovation, personal skills, determination and hard work were the normal thing that men aspired to with their cars. Before the inter web, computer searches, massive speed retailers with 24 /7 shopping, smart phones, corporate sponsorships took all of the fun out of weekly drag racing. This group came up with a set of rules and guide lines that has restored the smiles to the faces of 1,000’s of people. Between the car show, races, pin up model contest, dining with the stars & swap meet, it certainly put a smile on my face. Sitting out of the huge IHRA race with DRO Nostalgia Funny cars at Cordova Raceway the very same weekend, was a tough decision. But, the nitro gods were shining upon my face this weekend.
