Virtually every car related key word I punched into Google led me here so I figured this must be "the" place. Lurked and read the sticky. Not gonna lie - I am Beach Boys fan - poodle skirts not so much. My Dad was a drag racer when I was a kid. Raised on Mopars but I'm into ALL of it especially nostalgia racing and muscle cars. My ride is a '64 Plymouth Belvedere with more plans than money.
Nothing wrong with being a Beach Boy fan. Poodle skirts were a little before my time but then I really don't have the legs for anything but jeans! Where did your Dad race? I used to spend alot of time at BeeLine in the late '60s and early '70s.
No need to make appoligies. You are OK in my book. Thanks for the nice intro and WELCOME to the Hamb.....
We raced at Tucson Dragway (front engine econo-rail w/an injected 283) before it shut down. I think Beeline was shut down before we moved to Arizona - too bad!
Welcome from Yuma. You ever get over to Little Anthony's on Saturday evenings? There are many Mopars that show up, you may already know. I try to get to several every summer. I hope to be there for the July 12th show.
It's just a few miles from my house. I don't go as often as I should. May be there on the 12th. Are you bringing a car?
Beeline was a great place, I spent a lot of time there. Never spent a whole lot of time in Tucson. I had a truck leased to Reliance Truck Co., in the late '70s and early '80s, and they had a yard there. I did spend a few evenings on Miracle Mile partying and of course the Oar House! When did you move to Arizona?
1977. Miracle Mile has changed a bunch. You might like the site below. http://www.arizonaracinghistory.com/
Thanks for the link. I've saved it so that I can look it over a little closer when I have more time. Sadly Miracle Mile has gone the way of other great locations. It was great while it lasted though!
