Big brother Larry is coming also. This will be his first trip down a dragstrip since 1967. Got the motor dropped into his 59 Chevy over the weekend
It looks like the weather will be good! No rain for a change and in the high 80's. I think I'll go see what's going on.
...you'll like this event,...was good last year(1rst year for it) and 3 times the drag cars this year...plus lots of cool spectator cars show up...
