Everyone knows how much the Dog loves the cars that dominated the Drag Strips in the 60s and the 70s, so here is a sample of this weekends event at Gateway International Speedway.
Last week Phil (Allstar) sent me a message to ask if I was going to the race, as he would be in town to accept the award as his brother was accepted into Gateway's Hall of Fame. I had planned on attending already, so we were going to meet on Sunday morning.
First some photos I took of the Start line, and the staging lanes as I was walking in.....
Next home town racer Rick Cantrell's Altered. (Rick Races with us at HOHRA with scale cars as well)
Now as I was walking through the pits, Phil knows many of the racers from the days he and his brother ran the track....
Some of the SWEET GASSER'S on hand to race...
Some COOL cars from the past on display...
Phil got us in the air conditioned Press room for a much needed break from the heat, THANKS Phil I'm looking forward to next years race already.
