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

i heard the same rumor, Peckerhead................

 

ha ha, it was a good day, we r gettin better and better, good to have Red and Larry come out and hang with us, owners are super excited to have us and cant wait for the event

 

Whats close by where we can stay with trucks and trailers and it still be there in the morning?

 

hey guys, i live 5 miles from the track and i know there's a few hotel/motels around, but im not sure which one/ones would have the best facilities/security set ups. you know - park where yu can see your stuff.
so with-in the next few days ill drive around to em all and see.

 

I know if you get back on 30 going West towards Alrington will be the best bet. It may be 6-8 miles down the freeway but you will not have any problems that way.

my twin use to run out there back in the late 50's early 60's
while I was in the Navy, would see him a few times while on leave

 

Hope to see you there. We have been wondering where you ran off to. Hope all is well

 

Stockers will be there.

 

Chandler,
had a stroke of bad luck, had major surgery the 13th of last month,
removed some large and small intestine,found tumor and it was cancer..
believe they removed it but may still have to have Chemo, will know more about that Wed as I have appt to see the Cancer doc.

spent 9 days in the hosp, been home two weeks, starting to get some strength back, lost weight from 193 to 163 but starting to gain some of it back..

I plan on licking this problem, have not been able to drive my 52 as of late but
I am hoping to give it a test run in a few days, wife feels like she has to be with me, she is watching me like a hawk, could not make it without her...

dont mean to talk about my health issues, I felt like a million bucks a month ago and I plan to get back.. Hope to see some of you guys at the New Yrs lizard show, that is if they have it.. have not heard anything about it but..

you all take care, did not mean to hi-jack this post..
I have really enjoyed being on the Hamb and meeting a lot of the local guys..

Fred

Great pics, i attended the Nitro reunion luncheon and everyone that I handed a fliar to had something cool to say about the event and pass good times. This is really shaping up to be a fantastic event. Thanks so much to all for the early support and the great work from Chandler on getting the website up and running before january.

We have opened up the sponsorship section also, so clubs, shops, etc please help make this the best first year event we can make it. Pm me, dirty2. or Chandler for any details.

Looking like we will have a notorious Nitro breathing Hemi dragster that is being recreated debut at this event as well as the Scorpion 5 dragster.

Anyone that info to reaching the owner of the Snuff Box notorious drag car that ran at Yello Belly I would like to know, The car is still around locally and we would love to have it on showcase at the event
