...the Tin Butchers will be running the swapmeet again,...bring your stuff to sell

 

We will be there with our 63-409 nostalgia super stock

 

Once again I will flog the ol' Jeepster in the Hot Rod class.

 

1/4 or 1/8 Mile ? My FED is set up for 1/8 Mile

 

Hope there is some good old Meltdown response to this thread. Sure do miss those days on the HAMB. If it is not a hundred degrees I will be there to get inspired and hunt stuff down in the swap meet! Larry

 

I'm planning on being there with the ole Pontiac!

 

I'll be there with the Momma and the Kid's... the car won't be ready...

JUST MIGHT GO SOMEWHERE THAT IM APPRECIATES THE SPECTATORS MORE ! THANKS ILL KEEP A EYE OPEN & SEE WHAT HAPPENS ! ALSO THINK THE GIVEAWAYS SHOULD BE DONE TO SPECTATORS ! ANYWAY THANKS MIKE

 

I wouldn't miss it. And I will participate in the Pie-Eating segment as well.

 

...care to elaborate on that?

 

What give away?

 

,...previously the Meltdown crew gave out parts and stuff that was donated by different companies to the racers, I believe.

 

We’ve gone the last few years as spectators and have a blast every time. Planning on going this year too. We don’t need no stinking giveaways.....

 

I always have a lot of fun there, I don't like the heat some years but ya takes your chances.

 

I'm pre-registered for both The Glory Days Meet, and USPEC, with my 55. Hopefully the strip will be open by then.

By the way, Byron Dragway has a "Cruise-In" style dinner today, (May 9th) from 4pm to 7pm. The meal has to be pre-ordered and picked up in your car. Attendees also receive a complementary photo of your car in the "Winner's Circle" at Byron Dragway. There's a limit on the number of attendees, though. Not sure if it is filled up, yet
