    I was just watching a T.RO.G video on youtube and didn't see many SBC's and i also know that 2022 will be the last year for the Meltdown, The only nostalgia event i've been too,. I know we've had posts like this for your favorite car show but what is your favorite nostalgia racing event?

    I'd like to make the Jalopy Jam Up in Rockton or maybe the Elta bash would be fun too...mostly Cruises otherwise...Someday I'd like to try a run what you got at one of a few local dragstrips...that would be a hoot...

    :rolleyes:...Most of the Shows I attend have looked like this...perhaps the definition of Lone Wolf...Dirt Roads and Hotrod certainly have a connection that delivers a spirit...

    I should say that The Hamb really brings the Show World to my Front Row Seat and I get my fill of The Best of the Best with a few great friends Y'all

    It doesn`t matter if it`s the best, JUST GO to one. Been to Bakersfield Kackel Fest. You need to go to see first hand all the nitro burning front engine cars. As well as all the floppers. Meltdown was great to see all the gassers. Went to the local strips to just go. Onawa and Eddyville Iowa and Bethany Mo Dragstrip as well. Some weren`t big and famous events, but you need to support them just the same.
