    We just got back from the show.Let me tell you...Charlie and his crew put together one hell of a show!! The track was packed SOLID. Cars parked on both sides and then they ran out of room and had to park cars down the middle of the track. 3800 feet of cars!!!! Amazing!!! Charlie,Thanks for the trophy.
     
  3. This sounds like it was a great sucess and a wonderful event, I have been aware of this for a while via Sara and Don Kinch who I bought my 37 Coupe from in 2003. We look at the footage of all the old drag films when we can, and it will be great to check out the pictures that will be posted of todays event.
    Well done to all today from a UK fan

    Great show, Much more attendance that I thought for a first year show. I was one of those stuck in the isle. Sure wish some folks knew how to park and were (leave you driver off the show area). Hope it flies again next year.

    Many thanks to Charlie and everyone else involved in pulling this off! What a fantastic event! Hats off, and a big thumbs up to all of you for a fine job! It finally came together, after all these years! You put it back "on the map"! Wow!

    It would be interesting to hear the stats as to total number of vehicles registered, crowd estimate, etc. Also, was there any negative feedback from the neighbors or the township? Are plans being firmed up for next year?

    I am so bummed. I was following he possibility of a reunion for months, and thought I was on a E-Mail list for news about a reunion. And I see all the great pictures and the posts about the reunion that I somehow missed! I only hope there will be another one next year and will be able to enjoy it as much as you all seem to have. Glad to see you pulled it off, and loved seeing the photo's of the great old cars. This is what it's all about.. GO GO POCONO!
