    We'll be there with the K.S. Pittman 33 Willys and Boss Hydro 33 Willys AA/GS cars. Plans are to do a re-enactment of the match race my Dad had with K.S. there 40 years ago! Here's a pic from Vargo with my Dad and K.S.

  4. For the last few years I've been going to Jalopyrama in Baltimore the same day. What's this event like? I haven't been to Vargo since 1963. I guess it's time.

    We've been there from pretty much the first one. It GROWS every year!
    Pretty neat range of cars, its always cool to see the cars and meet the people that raced there back in the day.

    I asked hotrodsurfer to post this up after another hamb'r suggested I organize it. I'd love to , been going to the vargo re-union's (even the one that weren't at the track back in the early 90's) since they started. I declined on organizing as i intend on bringing 2 race cars to the event this year and believe I will be alittle busy?:rolleyes:

    always a fun time at Vargo!!!

    Unfortunately not. We'll be in Henderson N.C. for the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame. We really enjoy racing at the Modifiers events, and will be there for the Spring event.

  21. Thinking about spending Saturday night and going to Reigelsville Sunday. Sounds like you need to get there early. Is Reigelsville North or South of 611 and 313 intersection? How far?

    I'm going to try to make both Vargo (Saturday) & Reigelsville (Sunday) as a spectator. Both were very good last year, with Reigelsville getting the nod because of the superior swap meet. As of a few weeks ago, there was some construction & resultant road closure along the Delaware, not too far south of Reigelsville, so beware. I think they're finally fixing the flood damage from three years ago.
