York Nostalgia - York Reunion & Nostalgia Nationals
BESWICK RETURNS TO YORK
Arnie "Farmer" Beswick is returning to York with his
"Tameless Tiger" Pontiac GTO at the 7th Annual Musclecar Madness at the York Reunion on July 11th
and 12th sponsored by York Traditions Bank and
GGS Technical Service Publications.
Beswick is a true legend in drag racing and was featured
at York US 30 Drag-O-Way on June 22, 1963 with two
cars a 421 horsepower Tempest Station Wagon and his
unbeatable "Passionate Poncho" '63 Catalina Pontiac
versus the late Ronnie Sox who was featured as the
"King of the South".
Beswick who recently celebrated his 53rd Wedding
Anniversary with his wife Evelyn is still very active in
drag racing and will return to York to visit with his many
fans at the annual York Reunion.
Arnie will be joined by Drag Racing Legends Ken Montgomery, Sam Auxier, Jr., Larry Reyes, Arlen Vanke,
Joe Jacono, Ed Miller, Bud Faubel, Bruce Larson, Wally
Booth, Gordy Foust, Jere Stahl, "Miss Hurst Golden
Shifter" Linda Vaughn, "The Voice of Drag Racing" Jon
Lundberg, Tom Sneden, Ed Hedrick, Jack Werst, Herb
McCandless, Ed Hedrick, and the list goes on.
Legendary race cars to be on display will be the famous
"Old Reliable" Chevrolets of the late Dave Strickler, which
will include the rolling chassis of his first 409 '61 Chevrolet
Biscayne currently in progess of rebuild. Others in the
group will include Arlen Vanke's "Tin Indian", Bud Faubel's
'64 "Honker", the Jim & Alison Lee top fuel dragster,
the "Tasmanian Devil II" AA/A '23T supercharged Roadster,
Jerry Baltes' top fuel dragster, the "Hemi Hunter" top fuel
dragster, along with many of the countries finest muscle
cars of the '60's and '70's.
History unfolds before you at each of the York Reunions,
never to be repeated by the same legends or legendary
race cars. Every show is a cherished moment as many
of the Legends are departing at an alarming rate.
The show is a benefit for the York County SPCA. A
special memorabilia auction will be held on Saturday
at 6 p.m. all proceeds going to the SPCA.
A special "Remembering Elvis" musical presentation
will be featured on Friday, July 11th at 7:30 p.m. by
Ronnie Allyn.
Hours for the show are Friday 1 p.m. until 9 p.m. and
Saturday 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. with action moving to
Beaver Springs Dragway on Sunday, July 13th for the
presentation of the annual York Nostalgia Nationals
beginning at 8 a.m.
