FOX NEWS DETROIT asked a few local racers to come out today and do a promotional piece for the upcoming (June 12-13) Detroit Dragway Reunion race, shown on tonights FOX news show. Enjoy the 1:39 video. http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/29034786/detroit-dragway-reunion Nice job Steve. My Ford inline six S/P ran a 9.20 @ 142 mph, but I'll actually be driving The Last Logghe altered at the reunion.
Rain be damned....I wanna see some racing! Gonna take the kids fishing in the morning and heading out after...wonder when they start running the cars?
Wow, great event. I even got Al Bergler to sign the tin in my Last Logghe car and picked up an LSC T-shirt. Al and I agreed that his metal work has endured surprisingly well through thirty-five years of use and one head-on crash into a concrete guard rail. The funny cars and miriad gassers were awesome. Let's make this a two-day event and add a cackle fest. Went out early in the drag racing - fouled second round - didn't care too much. Had fun.
Great event! Weather held off. Pics. link http://turbofoto.smugmug.com/6th-Annual-Detroit-Dragway/i-2p5Pbsb/

Some great cars at the track...I remember when that 5 window would come out on Telegraph...we'd all be at the bank at West Chicago and Telegraph and hear the hum of a big ol blower and boom there it was...
