I actually have pondered it. The problem is that we break ground tomorrow on the Dust Bowl Speed Shop World Headquarters. That should take the rest of this year.

The Fly is in sad shape, everything is out of date and needs to be changed. Tires, seat belts, rear end needs narrowed, I bent 3 valves last time out. I think the troque convertor needs some love. It was builgt in 6 weeks for the first hamb drags on a very limited budget. Someday, it will make a re-entry into the world, but it is very tired.

I feel bad for it....it's moaning, just laying there.
My buddy @NoSurf has been bugging me to come up there. I love the area. It's gorgeous.

My guess is, it will get wildy popular and all of the press will cause the event to grow exponentially and then it will be a huge event and I will miss all the good times early on....that's what usually happens to events I like.

 

Hey Bob, that roadster was the first opponent of mine at TROG 2018. Had tears in my eyes on that first run. I won that race and I still keep the video on my phone

 

That's not a throttle, it's an on/off switch.


Looks like an excellent turn-out, thanks.

 

Wow, looks like it was a great time.

 

So, is this the same weekend every year? Just curious for planning purposes.

 

Great coverage, THANKS!

 

@Roothawg last year and this year it has been on Memorial Day Weekend

 

I would love to come up some year.

 

Does anybody know the details of this engine?

WOW, I can't remember seeing SO MANY GREAT CARS IN ONE PLACE !!!!!!\


THANKS FOR THE GREAT COVERAGE !!!!! THREE TIMES THRU IT !!!!!

 

Great pictures. Hoping to make this event in the next few years.

 

Hey @Phil P that was a sprint car motor according to the owner. 4inch bore and stroke. External oil pump and magneto.
Winfield head, burns intake

 

Thanks. I thought that was a really interesting setup, you know (dare to be different).

YES ! Memorial Day Weekend

 

Thank you Mike

 

looks like a good time.. thanks for posting ... great pics!!

 

I like this car a lot even though it wasn’t racing at NEVD

 

Looks like a traditional east coast build with a big honkin’ Pontiac

 

The Brady and Mahan crew had a fantastic time at the Northeast Vintage Drags. This was the second year of this event and it is already one of the top vintage races in the country. There were cars from all over eastern part of the country and Canada, can’t wait till next years race.

After Saturday evening flag start racing, The Vista Cruiser played surf music well into the night. This band was awesome.
