CHRR Cacklefest pays a surprise visit to Chicago!

[Mike Zenor]

Holy sheet!

Me and the son went to the NHRA drags at Route 66 Raceway yesterday, when what did we stumble upon in the pits but... a cache of 8 vintage '60s front engine fuelers - including Larry Dixon's, The Probe, Barnes & Gladstone, and Mike Kuhl's! They were there promoting the California Hot Rod Reunion.

Later on, trackside, a surprise... before the Nitro final qualifying session, they started 'em up (complete with vintage push cars) and rapped 'em out, right in front of us.

Here are a few shots, enjoy. (I would love to post the movies I shot if I had the software)

Mike, great pics!! That must of been a real treat to see those cars and hear them run. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Judging from pic #6, they had some authentic "vintage" Greybeards crewing 'dem cars. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It was wicked! I still don't know if the tears were from the nitro or the cars. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
