Event Coverage Muncie dragway: Nostalgia day with the road rockets

Lot of fun, made a few 1/4 mile passes, great weather for the drive there and back (if you left early enough, that is).

 

More photos from the pit area

 

Quite a few actual racecars showed up as well.

 

Whud you run? I always enjoy hearing the et's and trap speeds for hot rods. Cool stuff.

 

Some cool old Mopars in the pit area and my 56 Chevy. The old Chevy turned a best of 14.77 @93 but I'm determined to go faster next time.

 

That's awesome. It doesn't have to run a 10 to be fun. The point is you aren't afraid to romp on it. Cool!

 

Went over to Muncie for the first time in about 40 years and had a blast.

 

That looks like it was agood time. Really like the B & K blue '37 Chevy.
Thanks for posting pic's.

 

Falcons seemed to be everywhere...........


My daughter's favoite........

A few more of the 'birds

 

A really sweet tow vehicle





And Fred...........



A 454 wagon

 

We were with Nostalgia Super Stock boys. I know that there were motor problems for some but they all had a blast. Most were from Ill and Wisconsin but one towed 12 hours from Omaha...........

 

A few more
















This fellow from Springfield, IL now loves Muncie Dragway because this was the quickest pass he's ever made



One more of the Flagman (woman)

 

thanks for this nice photo, 390Merc., I really loved your 56 Chevy and I am proud that you chose to park next to my ugly old gasser for a photo! Your car is very nice.

I had a great time and recorded my best time ever with the old girl. I think it is finally starting to get broke in. Ran a 12.419.

I was impressed with all the falcons and the great collection of one of my favorites, the Henry J. Must have been a half dozen J's and I don't believe any two were from the same stable.

Great photos of the NSS guys. I have gotten to meet most of them and they really put on a great show. They are willing to travel a long distance, too. One fellow told me he was twelve hours away and that he had just lost his job on Friday. Priorities!

 

Yeah and he was towing home a broken race car. He thinks the cam was wiped out. He really had a nasty weekend but a lot of fun..........

 

Nice shots, looks like a great day..
the Road Rockets pulled off another good one...NEXT "The Rumble",,,,

My Father In Law (4My2Dads) turned 14.4 at 92. He said he felt like a teenager again. Guess that is what it is all about, huh

 

The last time I was at the Muncie dragway was in 1965. That was just before I went on my"senior trip" with the U.S. Navy! This past Saturday was another"Senior" trip!

 

Looks like the unmanned track sweeper holeshot him by a length!
Thanks for the Monday F/X. I needed that!
