Event Coverage Welcome to the 2017 Meltdown Drags

Well, last night around 9pm when we went to load the car we discovered an ominous crack in the trailer. After some help from the neighbor and a trip to the welding shop this morning we got on the road at 9:15am instead of the planned 4am. As long as Jeff doesn't do anything else to his voodoo doll of Yesterday's Child, we're hoping to make it to the track before they lock the gates at 10pm

 

Should be there this afternoon.

 

On my way as a spectator and looking to talk to a few of ya during weekend. We ya in about 4 hours.

 

The schedule says Gates open at 10am for spectators. Does anyone know if they hold it down to the minute???? If I show up at 9:30/9:45 will they let me in early????

So the Okie Doker put down his Child voodoo doll, and now he's stabbing knitting needles into the neck of his "Panneton's motor home" doll. A/C is acting up

 

Will the Meltdown Drags be live streamed at all?

Ready to roll 6 am. Tongue weight a little heavy. Furniture may need rearranging. ... for the trip back

 

Squrril u here looking for ya. Brian how did the shoot go.

 

Don't be rubbin' it in man, we're looking at a 12:30 am arrival at the earliest. We might need to pitch your velocity stack out the window to save some weight! ...or maybe we need to install it on the motorhome for a few extra ponies!

 

We arrived today and left track about 630. They told us the gates would be open between 8-9 tomorrow. To be safe they told me 9.

see you all sat! Larry

 

I did make it...even got the car running, and went to Sam's. Said hi to several folks.

a couple pictures. More tomorrow.

 

I have started posting pics on the thread that is linked in my signature

 

Tony the shoot went great. Scott took over a thousand photos and it took over two hours. The mosquitoes got bad at the end. Stop by when you can. Just a heads up the track would not honor my ihra licence. I will have to do licence passes to get a nhra one or i cant run. There goes another 250.00

 

We didn't make the 10pm cutoff so we'll be camping across the street from the track and hopefully first through the gates tomorrow. Gonna be pulling in a little after midnight, 1 hour to go.

 

Saw a few questions...

DO NOT come early... all you day is make a traffic jam

About 400 cars came in yesterday... the place is damn near full.

The weather today is gonna be nuts

There is already so much cool stuff here you have to see it to believe it. If you are on the fence about attending do the right thing now. Call in sick to work and make the drive. You wont be disappointed.

 

Leaving for swap meet 7:45. ETA. 9 minutes

 

NHRA = No Hot Rods Allowed.
