Colonial Beach

Anybody going to Colonial Beach for the ''60 Years of Cars and Stars''
The event used to be held in Man***as at Old Dominion Dragway.

 

Thinking that's the 4th of August if I'm not mistaken. Haven't heard much "buzz" about it so maybe some exposure on here will help get the word out to the folks in the Mid-Atlantic area.

 

The S&S Racing Team and friends will be there.....The event promises to be as much fun as it was at ODS.....

 

I was at the Colonila Beach drags way back in 1979.






I go back to the town of Colonila Beach every August for a car show but I had not heard about this event at the dragstrip.

 

Awesome shot of the '40, Andy. The 34th annual Rod Run to the Beach is August 17 & 18 this year and the Nostalgia Drags are in fact the 4th of August. I just checked the Colonial Beach Dragway website.

 

Thanks Donnie for the date that I failed to put in. I was there several week's ago as was Gary Gore handing out flyer's at the track. Hope the weather is good. Were coming down on Sat. Going to go eat some seafood....JT

 

Thanks Don, it's an oldie. I had already planned on going to the run at the beach next month but I can't make the race. Maybe next year.

You know Andy if you had closed the cowl vent you might have picked up a tenth.

 

Too damn hot to worry about that!!

 

Nostalgia Drags just a week away.

 

Less than a week. Anyone else in the Mid-Atlantic region going?

 

I'll be there....

Here's some shots from last year's show at the now closed Old Dominion Speedway:

Where is Colonial Beach and is the car show worth the drive up?

 

.....It's tough to judge how good (or big) the car show will be as it's the first time (as far as I know) that it will be held at Colonial Beach. It was previously held at the now defunct Old Dominion Speedway complex as indicated in the earlier post. Colonial Beach, Va. is located on the Potomac River just a few miles South of the Harry Nice Bridge and minutes from US Rt.301. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks I can work with that.

 

So far the weather is looking like mid 80's with only the slightest chance of a shower.

 

Today!!

 

Talked with Dave Hales of the S&S Team and he was on his way.

 

Beautiful day, great turn-out both for the show as well as the compe***ors. Large crowd of spectators there to watch.

 

Well worth the trip...

In the first pic, if you look just to the right of the guy staging the cars, at his eye level, I'm the first person you'll see. Baseball style cap, white shirt and sungl***es, I've got my arms resting on top of the fence. I just say this because someone will surely say, "You weren't there". Great pics guys. Thanks for posting them.

 

I posted this in the other thread but it's too cool not ta' post again:

 

COOL! Please more pics!

 

Great day for a lot of old farts living the dream. Weather was super, drags were really cool, show cars had a great variety. Mama enjoyed the days ride, Gods in his Haven and all is right with the world. Missed those that could not make it.....

 

That's enough spam fer' one nite....
