Tucson Dragway Reunion event!!!
Saturday our new drag strip... Southwestern International Raceway... held a "reunion" event to celebrate the old track, that closed in the eighties. The old track was an AHRA sanction, which hosted the AHRA Winternationals... and also the Fuel Altered Nationals, for many many years.
The event featured a car show... many vintage racecars... and many of those cars "cackled" or did burnouts. The few currently legal cars made full passes!!! :-)
In the afternoon, a band called the Retro Rockets entertained... and the Arizona Museum Of Drag Racing held induction ceremonies.
I was surprised at the number of early cars on display... and you could also meet some of the heros of that era! All-in-all a great event!Last edited by HOTRODPAINT; 05-08-2012 at 08:54 AM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
