Event Coverage What are you doing to get ready for GLORY DAYS vintage drags at Byron Dragway?

Received a preregistration E Mail also.

 

I have done my part . I erected a cool weather shrine in my back yard and will continue to feed it till we leave for the track. Damn it gets hot in Byron in July!

 

Anyone get a ticket to ride yet??

 

Ain't got no ride yet.

 

No

 

Yeah me neither....

 

I hit "send" at 12:02. Does that count as getting ready?

I just got an email from the track that I am in for July.

 

I got a text moments ago that the nitro coupe is in.

 

The email I received states they are close to the max car count, but still have space.

 

The meltdown is history. It was a great run. I'm ready for the next chapter. I cant wait for July. It will still be the must attend race of the year. As far as what I'm doing to get ready my engine and trans have been serviced. They are both back in the car. New tires have been purchased for the back. We should be starting the engine by mid February to make sure everything is ready to go for spring testing. We plan on going down south to get some hits on the car. George Ray's in paragould Arkansas the weekend of may 17,18 19th is the first test session. Fire burnouts are also part of the program down there. We plan on pushing the car harder this year.

 

Why would you say the Meltdown Drags is history?

 

Because it is. Only the location and date is the same. The most important part that being the people that started it are no longer running it. The event will be similar yet different.

 

Received entry confirmation Friday. Said 30 spots still open

 

I'm in. Hotdog is in too. Now to set up the rear axle. Hope the trans holds up for awhile. Setting up a toploader but will be a slow and pricey endeavor.

 

We will be there with the nostalgia super stocks--looking forward to it

 

I got my email. My '57 and Dad's '55 both got in.

 

I received my invitation yesterday, says only 30 open spots left

 

I am in with my dragster but I gotta get on it I've been so busy keeping up with work and trying to catch up with the bills I haven't even had time to think about it but I guess this was the kick in the pants I needed to get in gear
