Dragstrip Memories Sun April 19 2015

Spring isn't that far off (yes I'm ignoring todays -18 temps). I went to this event last year and it was well worth it. Maybe we can combine it with a lunch as well. Any takers?

Wayne, thanks for posting this up. I have seen pictures of this event and believe it is a must attend show.

Make me think spring is not so far away.

This might be a great way to start of the summer of 2015.

 

[FordPrefect]

Have to agree with you Keith, it promises to be a lot of fun.

2 minutes down the road from me. Count me in.
Surprisingly i don't hear the airport much but can watch the air shows from my house.

My plan is still to attend this show. Any of the other 705 guys want to head down?

Thanks for posting up the reminder Wayne.

i dunno murray, the thoughts of a trip through toronto kinda put me off. the last time i went to hamilton it took 4 hours !!!

I hear what you are saying, even a Sunday is no guarantee that there won't be traffic problems in the GTA/Hamilton area.

Update, just got the following email:

"St Thomas Raceway Park is going to be at The Drag Strip Memories event at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum on Sunday, April 19th! This is a great opportunity to come out and sign up for our 2015 Messenger Freight Systems Super Series Points Series, or to grab yourself a 2015 Schedule in preparation for racing season! "

Got there very early, could only stay an hour due to family issues and a work list longer than your arm. Was nice to stretch the legs on the 'vette and have a short conversation with my favourite poster.

Here is a snap or two...

And a few more....

All in all a good time, I ended up getting a photographers pass for St, Thomas Dragway and located a source for a picture of the first car I ever saw drag race, "Diamond T" a model T altered running at St. Thomas in the mid 60's.

Now maybe Manny can explain "Herb's Garage"

Great pictures to start off the new season.

Wayne, great photographs. Thank you so much for sharing them.

Sorry I could not make it today, my loss.

Glad I caught you before you took off. Was an interesting show. Great pictures Wayne.
Met up with some old work friends there. Was nice to see these guys.
