Re: Dragway 42
Last time I ran there was in 1986. When I pulled in Wed. evening I was overwhelmed on how the place had changed in a BIG way! I had a chance to talk with the new track owner Sunday for awhile. He was very, very thankful for the racers that came and for what he has accomplished the past 3 years, and admitted he still has plenty of work to do to be where he intends to be. In his own words "he said without you racers he would be nothing". He is very dedicated in making this facility one of the nicest IHRA tracks around. I believe he will.
Also had a chance to talk with Mike Dunn. Last time he ran there was in 1980 in a fuel funny car. He said things were going well and that he still does a little ESPN announcing from time to time.
All in all it was a very nice weekend. I'll definitely be back soon.......
