The 2012 Orange Drag Reunion Sept 8th

Ttt

 

HEY....It's this coming Saturday!

 

the way ive always seen flagged racing is when the flag is down---then go-------with the show pinks i seen it if the hand twitches[starts to move]---which is correct?


ill be racing in exhibition class--should be fun

 

Good question. Guess we'll have to watch and learn when we get there. Hoping the rain will be gone by Saturday.

 

Weather looks good. See you there.

 

Car's finally done...just in time. The damn weather better cooperate. So far Sat. looks OK, not so much for Sunday, but it's only Tuesday and they're rarely right !!

 

What time does it start?Whats the cost?

Dennis, the weather got really bad later in the day.It seemed they ended the racing early( Airport told them that rain storms were on the way).They ran off 4 cars & took away the barriers! kind of sucked for the rest of us.
Anyway we all sat around in the ran with Pete Flaven & 50Dave & talked about everyone who wasn't at the show!!lol Rain most of the way home till we got to "lil Rhody".
It was good to see you with Luke.See ya next Saturday.

One hell of a good time!

 

Thanks, John and crew for another great show. I love running on the untreated airport surface, that is exactly how my car built to run on. Looking forward to running there again next year.

 

My son and I were on the road at 5:30 AM with a quick stop at Honey Dew.

 

We arrived at the track at 6:45 AM. The line was already a mile long, but moved quickly when the gates opened at seven.

 

I have about a dozen pictures of the cars that were in the pits in the vicinity of our pit area. I never got a chance to make it over to the show area, so I appreciate the pictures people have been posting already. It would be hard to pick a favorite car there, but this is one I really liked.

 

This car is another favorite...The paint is a blend orange and gold with all the right sixties touches.

 

Gene's Speed Shop HEMI Super Stock, perfectly restored by his nephew Steve O'Neil

 

The fellow who owned this car said it was the original Orange Peal. Famed chassis builder Pete Tropeano built an raced the Orange Peal in sixties.

 

Steve Tanzella's 56 Chevy was an all out race car. The car has been converted back to street use but still runs at all the nostalgia meets.

 

Dave's 32 is a real 50's hot rod. This car just screams airport drags...
