Cars are starting to turn up for this show! I just got a confirmation on a 62 Vette that ran D/Mp for years. Still has the original custom paint on it. Its a great car! Another friend is talking about bringing his 54 Studebaker that is Buick powered. A 64 Ford Galaxie FE powered car is also talking about going.:D

Great! I thought you may know of someone. Spread the word and get him to put it on facebook. Its Meltdown Drags Vintage on the search. They also have a Meltdown Drags page on Facebook. Needs Fords for the Car Show and racing! :)

We are planning on coming. I am not on facebook and don't care to learn how to get on there.

Can you answer a couple questions, I read the rules but...
Do we still need a lap belt for racing?
How strict is the tech?
I want to run my dads 61 Ford wagon in stock class, it has newer radial tires?
Run 61 Starliner w/ 427 in ??? 64 Comet in F/X.

They do want the cars to look period correct so I would send him a couple of pictures You can also send me your E mail addy and I will send it to him on Monday. :) The racing is not serious and the event is to have fun making runs. The goal is to find the closest competition and match race him.

T Bolt just woke up for the New Year! It was time to cycle some fuel thru the carbs to avoid the varnish. She sounded good and makes me think of spring!

Ryan it was great to talk to you on the phone! You guys have a nice stable of Fords. I am looking forward to seeing them in July!

If you have anything 66 and older you need to consider the Meltdown Drags this summer!
