    Still here as well.
    The CSRA swap meet would be ok for a meet and great, but how about a different location that might be a fun ride in the cars-The Olympia Diner on the Berlin Turnpike is somewhat central, and an old place none the less.

    I'm in CT, though I don't know if a 4-dr Comet counts as a "Hot Rod". With the 2000ci motor I at least don't get passed by street sweepers anymore.

    Holding it down in Glastonbury as well. We need more winter events in CT. Land Speed night is coming up soon at Street Rod Steve's Garage in Wallingford. That would be a great night for fellow HAMBERs to get together. I'll post further details soon

    I bought a house on Buckley Hill Rd (and lived there for 5 years ) in Colchester before I even realized that the remains of Connecticut Dragway was right up the road from me...

    I guess at 40 yeas old, I am still just a baby...

    I grew up in Guilford for the first 21 years of my life.

    Went with my older brothers to the Autorama Car Shows at the State Armory in Hartford in the 60's

    Many weekends at Connecticut Drag Way in Colchester
    Drags at "Sunday - Sunday- Sunday" Islip, NY

    Many a race tracks up and down the Eastern Seaboard

    Waterford Speedbowl and Statford Springs a lot.

    Street Raced at Long Warf in New Haven and Hammonasett Connector in the 70's.

    Seems like 100 years ago.
