    I'm in, if the weather is nice I might drive one of the cars. It is like a legends room at times with plenty of your drag strip heroes stopping in and reliving the past with some crazy stories. The place also has great food and a **** load of tv's for everyone to see the old footage, which is worth the admission it's self.

    Oh yeah, it's gonna be great this year! Bring out one of the cars Phil! If my engine was in the 53 I'd have it there!
    The Food is great at this place too!

    It's so cool seeing all the Local Legends show up and watching them run their cars from back in the day.
    Jim Zakia, Big John Torelli, Dan Gaston with the jumping Bean 58 Chevy, Skip Kazmark with the Jan-Cen 39 Chevy, Dean Johnson with all of his great photos, Lots of old Clutch Artist Members show up too. No Wonder's It's called a Reunion! haha Maybe the new Honorary members of the G***er Gang, The Newell Bros, Will even show up for it!

    Mark it on your calendars!!!

    Kentucky Greggs on Southwestern Blvd. closed last year or so but Buffalo Sports Bar is just a few doors away.
     
  20. Thanks Artie!

    Yeah, he had 2 locations for awhile but closed the Southwestern Blvd. location maybe a couple of years ago.

    I can't say I know where this Buffalo Sports Garden is but as Artie said, "it's only a few doors down", so it can't be too hard to find.

    I'm really considering rolling out with the t-bucket, it says ****tered showers p***ing through during a couple hrs. Could be hit and miss, never know, I took the bucket around the block for the first time this year and it feels good behind the wheel.
    As far as the wind goes, you're creating your own wind, get out there and drive soap and water will clean it back up.
