Thats some of the best stuff I've seen in years! I had a front engine flathead rail--- Where the hell did they find a Hemi GTX!-- THANKS A LOT Gary

Yep, that GTX is WAY too cool. I have to admit as I don't how they acquire stuff we still lust after. And long ago in HS I had a 60 Ford like that white one. And (this is going back in time too) when EasyRiders was a mag worth reading, as all the videos they put out. I had 1-20 them, but sold them, and wish I didn't now. Lots of coverage Sweden biker partys and lots of rag tag HD's slammed together, but seemed they all partied HARD, and a lot of fun was had by all! My kind of people!

PS, that 9 minute vid was more entertainment than the hours Daytona 500!

WAY better than Daytona! Some of us just like the yesteryears. Gotta go plow some snow --- will be back tomorrow. Thanks again! Gary

We USED to have nostalgic drags the airport unused old runway in Shelton here, 20 miles north me. Rural, small planes, but mostly sky divers now. It was shut down for a long time, but in 2007, they got it running again. And the last time too. Glad I was there. Heres a couple links, first the shut down forever, (TSA BS)..,stopped it dead any more fun. But the second link?
Can't hold racers down for long. Soon after, and still in construction, was a bunch of private investors who bought a LOT of acreage, and did "The Ridge" Motor sports park. Great road course, and a new drag strip, and WAY more to come there. And only 5 miles from the old airport drag strip. First link tells the story Sanderson Field. Second.."The new place". Check out some the "nostalgia" there.
