Detroit Dragway Reunion, Milan, Mi June 10 2017

Anyone going?

Got a Ford race in KY 9th and 10th

I started drag racing on Detroit Dragway in 1958, and Yes, my wife and I are going along with friends who are all racers. Many of the ol' Icons will be there and many cars of yesterday. The event is fun.
I was there for the 1959 and 1960 US Nationals. An "A Stock" Pontiac busted the 100 MPH barrier. The crowd went silent, then went nuts. Could not believe it. A stock car went over 100 MPH in the quarter. Times have changed, but that was then, and it was what it was, stunning.

I will be going to the Ford Reunion Race for that time; (even though I will probably know an awful lot of people going to Milan).
My son will probably be there.

OSWEGO drag way also had a 100 mph club back in the day, pretty cool

I should be there if I get a few parts in and put in the car. Going to T&D shaft rockers and don't know the push rod length yet.

Forgot about the bash. Lol.
Smiley conned me into going and driving, so we will see ya Thursday in KENTUCKY..

"CONNED" you???

That would suggest that I said or did something dishonest or underhanded. To be clear, guys, I merely told him he could buckle into my car...and suddenly Milan is in his rear view mirror.

did the detroit thing a couple times  heading to ky for the Bash
