thank you very much paul - outstanding.

nostalgia racing every bit as exciting to me
as present nitro competition......and most notably the
FC's look waaaaay better.

starting to formulate opinion why most nat. events don't
have nostalgia FC's making passes (other than time of course)
.........it's a better show

I wouldn't disagree Mike.

Paul, so we dont get together another time is just a good reason to go again.


I just felt sorry for that poor groom(LOL)

Great pics Paul, thanks for sharing!!!!!

 

[mick]

so in a sense the sport is actually coming back to some of these guys.
take for example dale pulde - the guy still gets to play with the same FC he drove 30
years ago and at a fraction of the cost of the touring nhra guys.
he gets the last laugh indeed! may we all be so blessed later in life.
what other well known names from the past will emerge in these ranks?

i mean, holy sh*t!, just watchin' these videos brings me back
30 years instantly! i really need to get my 14 yr. old son to one
of these events soon.

Thanks for sharing Paul! With the way things are right now, I probably won't make it to next year's March Meet; maybe I can get to the CHRR next October though, I've never been to the CHRR yet. 16 car Nostalgia Nitro Funny Car field in Chandler, Arizona on Saturday Oct 25; Del Worsham in the Blue Max and Cruz Pedregon driving the Power's Steel Camaro; maybe you should head out this way for a change.

thx Chris.

Hey Kevin. If Vegas2 wasn't so close I would go to Phoenix. Never been there, but have a cousin who lives there. I could go visit him and go to the drags. I'll go one day.

Vic, sorry, I don't have anything. I did see the car run. Loved it!
It's got the stack injectors(no blower) right?

Hi Bob, yes to V2.

 

[kingcobrafan]

Thanks, Paul. HELLACIOUS pics! Not sure about the March Meet, but I'm gonna try REAL HARD to make the CHRR next year.

Here's some of mine, I thought the crowd was pretty big on Saturday.

Bob's car.

Butch Leal with another rather similar automobile.

And a couple more... there were six TBolts and TBolt-ish Fairlanes.

But it wasn't all Fords, there were Mercs too.

 

[possum]

I see we are limited to 4 pix per post so here's more.

Dragmaster gents with a newfangled overhead job between the rails.

And a couple underheads...

The most authentic looking funny car.

Miss Pick Your Part. Cleaned up from her day job of pulling transmissions out of junked cars in the mud no doubt. I missed seeing her in the cackle car as I was "stuck" in the Smokers tower hanging out with Isky and them.

Tom,
Agree with you, Beach City looks Right... too bad it has the WRONG motor in it... that was one haulin' RAT....

Oh, and she can pick my part any day
