Re: East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion
Okay, the 11 th year of the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion is in the record books. This was what appears right now as being the largest show ever. Number of cars, both old race cars and classics, the number of old racers and the number of spectators appears to be up from previous year.
There were cars there that have been in previous years; however, there were cars and drivers who have never been there before and some which more than likely will never appear again. I arrived down town at 5:15 am on Saturday and the lot was already filling with cars. At about 1;30 pm we were watching the Spectator crowd and I commented I would like to get paid one nickel for every photograph that was taken of the Stock Super Stock/Pro Stock cars on the street Saturday. It was incredible to see all those cars in one place. There were 5 Motown Missle cars on the property, including on that was on a rotisery. 5 men lifted this car body off of a trailer and attached it to the display frame. Caution was "don't lift it by the fenders"
Curt I hope that you and your dad enjoyed your time there and hope that you got a chance to see everything that this show has to offer. Hope that you got the opportunity to talk with some of the guys and gals that you have heard about and read about from the history of drag racing. Even though we have been at Kinston Dragway together some times, I was glad to see you there. I had the occasion to be called to the Event Registration Table several times during the event by some very nice people who had read my posts and came to the event.
Classracer was well represented by a Station Wagon with a "Classracer" decal on the front fender. I will post some photos as soon a I have them downloaded.
