Event Coverage 1st Annual Texas Nostalgia Nationals @ Yello Belly Dragstrip Dallas TX

Well guys and gals it is official, Mark you calender for May 15th, 2010 for the Texas Nostalgia Nationals held at the oldest operating dragstrip in Texas, Yello Belly Dragstrip in Grand Prairie, Tx. Been open since 1955 and man does it have a cool vibe.

There will be lots of details added of coarse as we iron them out but there is plenty of parking for hot rods, races cars, and vendors. hopefully within the next couple weeks the website will be fully up and running, etc

Have conformation from the Scorpion gang ,etc and a newly recreated fuel dragster being restored.


Of coarse we gotta keep it nostalgic so we are leaning to 64 but we are gonna allow up to 72, we will iron that out later as well as the classes

I am super stoked but wanted to get this post going, Please keep the bad cooments to yourself, We are gonna be the crowd at this event so there will be no problems.

Woo hoo!!!!!






Rusty

 

Will there be room to push off my old 430 lincoln powered slingshot???

 

Hell yeah sounds like fun!!

 

U betcha

 

Count me in on this one!!

 

thanks guys, owner is super excited to have us, there will be lots of details added as we work thru this

Be out there Sunday for more planning

 

Bad ass! That track looks like old time fun. Make more classes ( 65-72 ) and bring on those Cameros and Mopars they haul ass.

 

you were killing me waiting for the phone call. Glad she was excited about it. Call me tomorow and let me know what you need me to do to help.

 

Sounds great, that is a perfect time of the year for a race like that in Texas and a perfect place to have it. It is already on my calendar.

 

COOL ! were staying at rusty`s

 

Count us in. What a great track!!!

 

We will be there Sunday may even bring the anglia with slicks on her !!!

 

Hopefully doc's car will be running !

 

I'll do everything I can do to be there! I'm really stoked that ya'll got it worked out to do this at Yellow Belly. That track is one of the few left that has real history to it. It's great that the owners can see that we can bring old style racing to the track without some of the issues that have plagued it in the past.

Congrats to the Dirtys for what is sure to be a huge success!

 

Gonna have a class for slow ass taildragging kustoms??

 

yall know ill be there....
id like to see cars up to 72 allowed to race.....

 

cool...if we break...at least we'll be able to push it back home...

 

Fun with friends close to home sounds like a great time!!!!!!!

 

Not that it matters, but...

my vote would be for letting the muscle cars race and making it index racing. No electronics, timers, trans brakes etc. Heads up with a pro tree and half second indexes.

 

Cool! Can't wait!

 

Me too!!!
Rusty, this sounds like a real cool deal....
1/4 mile???
Thanks for the info

 

ill be there rusty, in one car or the other.
wOOt.
ps, i live 5 miles from yellowbelly, so between my shop and blasteds, im sure no one will be stuck out around here.
hell my welding Leeds would almost reach the track,

 

Rusty I will be out of town from Thursday thru next Wednesday, so I can't make it Sunday, but you know I will help in anyway possible. Congrats and Looks like we will be promoting 2 local drags from the autorama this year...makes the hot rod arena the place to be again this year.

 

hey RUSTY...man i hope you get to run rods up to 72, that allows most of the BIG block muscle cars in. and BUSARD you can forget about them not having electronics, trans. brakes, and the like. this is the big boys coming to dodge. and they won't have it! call me POP...or the old FART!

 

this is gonna b awesome, thanks for all the early support guys, Rusty

 

That's why they are usually left out of the traditional style events. They just don't seem to get it.

 

The GizzleHopper gang has our feelings hurt. We weren't even ask. Oh well,,,,,,,,

 

everyones invited, yall come on up Rusty

 

Sounds like a blast!!!! Will be there!!!

 

Im in ! Can I crash on your couch Elwood ?
