Nostalgia drags were on Sat 11th & 12th . Willowbank Raceway, Crusin Magazine and others did a great job to revive this event, and from what I saw, it can only get bigger.  There were 220 competitors, and about 220 cars on display. 4 nitro powered nostalgia put on a display. Graeme Cowan, from Rocket Industries said there will be 8 more nitro cars by this time next year. Les Winter, (seen here being beat by a Hambster) put on a bench race B B Q on the startline. He and Rod Easton arranged this informal get-together to encourage more people to just hang out and talk....just like the coffee mornings we are starting to organise. Well done, Rod & Les!
Gavin Clementsons new Deuce Tudor had it all....Paint-Wheels-Ride Height...the only things that are important when building a hotrod...he nailed it big time!
This was good!  To see the smile on "Gentleman" Jim Reeds face when he fired up his restored old 70s altered, and Nelma sitting in the car..she looks like she wants to go racin' again. Jims son Steven, and his son Daniel found where the old car was, and bought it back as a gift to Jim & Nelma...awesome!
The crowd was way down, but this event can only get bigger and better from here on in. Well worth the trip out to participate.
