thanks for the info on havana. i've been looking for the new web page.

 

what is the new drag event?

 

Big event July 30th, Arnie the Farmer and others should be good gates open 10:30 racing around 2:00

 

We were there yesterday. The Messino Gang in "Shake, Rattle & Run" vs. Arnie's "Tameless Tiger" and the Nostalgia Super Stock guys put on a good show. The place was packed with good cars and an impressive number of spectators. We left just before 11 PM and they were still racing. Well worth the 1 1/2 hour drive!

GREAT SHOW!!!! Congrats to Bob Gibson and his crew.

 

Im really glad they had a good turn out. I wanted to be there too but had already made plans for another racing event.

 

was there yesterday. lots of people. the quick 16 really put on a show. had some great qualifing races. man it was hot!!

 

Anyone have any details on the nostalgia races there this weekend 9/24-25?
They do not seem to have a working web site as of yet.


Thanks

Midstate is the first place I ever when to the drags. I saw these wheelstanding rails on TV and had to check it out. There was a jet car that started a tree on fire accidently. I've been hooked ever since. Spent most of my spare time at Motion near Assumption.
