Event Coverage 2nd Annual Texas Nostalgia Nationals May 14, 2011

Rusty, I bringing the goat and my brother. Can't wait! I'm sure Helms will be in tow...

 

I heard the gas house gang was coming? maybe elvis too!!!!! I may bring my one owner "traditional" civic with neon and twin nos packs! gotta get those rivets in the floor plate changed and the welds on the manifold rewelded. and then it's ON!

 

Good deal Hackster, love the 56

 

Awesome Mr. Reese, I dropped some fliars off to Cory and Gene today

 

Hope it goes well for you again this year Rusty..unfortunately this Canadian won't be attending this or any other events over in the U.S anymore...seems some over zealous border guard took a disliking to me while i was trying to go on vacation with my wife to New Orleans a couple of weeks ago...I am now on a "list" and banned from trying to enter the States again...Good luck to you all , and a quick hi to all we met there last year.....had a blast last time.. EH !

Do you run "The Column Shop" off 30 over by the liqour stores ?

 

"Gas House Gang" update;

Jeff Beck will be playing with 7 Deadly Sins!!! That's right the bad ass coupe from OK.
Get ready for, rock & roll, screaming riffs and blazing runs from these guys.

Lugnuts II will be the GHG ringer for the Tri5 class. If you haven't seen this 56 on a dragstrip you're in for a Wild Ride.

More updates to come! HRB

 

Yes he does and is a sponsor for our race, Does great work also

 

WOW!!!! 7 Deadly SINS!!!!!!!!! Worth the price of admission just to see him run!!!!

 

man, I can't wait..............had a great time last yr even though I was dealing with chemo and sort of weak, off of that crap now, been working out 3 times a week plus back to playing senior softball.......feel better then I have in thirty yrs and I will be 70 in June.....................cancer is still hanging around but now at the stage to monitor it..................I love the old time drag cars..

back in early 60's my twin raced at yellow belly in a 61 impala, total stock,
I was in the Navy at the time and missed a lot of the action, I did get to see him race once, I can still remember how well the Pontiac's ran back then too, also remember a guy on a Triumph cycle that could out run most of the cars......heck of a deal

seems like my brother got beat by a chevy with a 283, I think his 61 had a 348.. been to long, I may have the cubic inc wrong with what he had... sorry to drift away to old time stuff but the track brings back a lot of good memories from that time period...............

Rusty, thanks to you, your sponsors and help they make this possible..
see you all next month

Fred

 

Fred we cant wait to see you at the drags, so glad to hear you are doing better. thanks for the support, We just added Kansas to the list of out of towners

 

The whole state?

 

If we could get Mark to come, that would be the whole state (of confussion).

 

Confussion say.
Be there,
Be there,
Be there.

Our host hotel once again will be the Comfort Suite at Cockrell Hill Rd and I-30. Address says 4275 DFW Turnpike. Only three miles from the track. Call and speak with Mrs. Dianne Aguilara, tell her you are with the Texas Nostalgia Nationals and get the group rate. 214) 267-0100.

 

lets change the racing to heads up! cause some texans cheat on their dail in skills.iam not sure but his initials are HOT ROD BILL did i say that out loud?

I wasn't sure where to park so I parked under the roof and in the shade..
no one complain so I guess I was legal...........

 

damn that year went fast, see yu soon rusty and danny

 

Hey, I gave you a second place trophy!!! I know I forgot to sign it, my bad. That would be kick ass if you came to YB, I know it's a haul but your about a crazy ass anyway! You thinking about coming?

 

Does anyone have the direct phone number to the host hotel. When I call the 800# it is a booking service. Someone please let me know. Thanks

 

PM Rusty, he'll know. (maybe 8-5 you get the real place)

 

Mark; Hope you are coming. Didn't get to meet you at The Thaw but any man that can put together a ride like yours is OK in my estimation.Hope to line up with you. Will be fun. Later, HillRat

 

We will be staying trackside Friday night. That should be interesting as well. Need a good support group.May make a couple of passes for the croud. YEEEEEHah!

 

cool, also justa reminder. i posted it on the austin HAMBRS site, but billetproof texas is at the beginning of june in giddings. -DVZ

 

I'll be there Friday night with the crazy englishman. We'll have to line it up again Rick to see if I can keep up with your new speed record. I do want to see the Hillrat v Skullorchard match up.

 

214 267-0100 is the direct line

 

Yes for those interested again. Camping is available but you must be self contained- electrically. We have the track to ourselves Friday night so get some test runs in before the big day

 

Are they having Drag Races?
