Great pictures! We'll be doing it again this year. The dates have changed to June 26-27th.[ATTACH]
A friend found this article that explains what the small bulbs were used for.
I'm working on a old Chrondek Christmas tree, and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the small lights were for (between the fourth and...
Larry, we had 125 cars that raced. I think the weather scared a few away, being that it poured rain most of the day Saturday south of us.
I'll try to answer here as best I can. There will be a mandatory driver's meeting both Friday and Saturday one hour before racing starts. Racing...
Thanks. I agree with you. It's a lot of work, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.
I agree you can put brakes on the original spindle mounts, if you have the resources. I just couldn’t bring myself to drill holes in my rare...
Mark, I realize the originals are 12 spoke, being that I run them on my car. The Rocket Launcher wheels wouldn’t be my first choice for wheels,...

Right now, we're going to have match races for the different classes. We're entertaining the idea of maybe doing some type of elimination race if...
Good question.. All I know is there's no 2019 Meldown Drags. I guess time will tell if it comes back.

Thanks Steve, it was nice meeting you. I wish the weekend lasted a little longer so we all could have more time to converse.
Jim, it was great seeing you again. I think Wendy got some pictures of Jeff's 62. I will ask her tonight. Can't wait for the next event!
Awesome photos enloe! It was nice meeting you in person. Thanks for sharing!
I have to thank everyone for the kind words. I've been really busy trying to get this thing moving. I will keep posting my progress on the rest of...
