Richard, Thanks for the input. ya, those were the days, for sure, and still at it. If you have a Nostalgia Event on your bucket list, great, Eastside is, well, ok!!. But its still, the same ol` Sunday Bracket Racing. Top ET, Footbreak and Trophy Street.(they call Nostalgia Eliminator) If you can wait until June of next year, Mason-Dixon Dragway near Hagerstown MD is far and above Eastside`s event. John Mead

I still remember all the big names, my favorites at the time were Pee Wee Wallace & Hurbet Platt.A lot of great memories.Still racing, going to Richmond this week end(9-20) to run in street/strip, with my 63 Catalina, factory 421, tri-carb, 4-speed. Thanks so much for your articals about Richmond. John Mead, Charlottesville Va

John,
Along with that great event, In July, Beaver Springs Pa has a Sunday Event (7/10), right up your alley.
Beaver Bob is a member here, you can message him. Also look under the York Pa Show EVENTS here on Drag Racers Reunion......
By the way..Your car sounds great..nice project.
John,
The Best of Times Nostalgia event is going on today and tomorrow at Virginia Motorsports Park in Dinwiddie. I do not know if they have the class you are looking for, but there are several members that are part of that group. You might call VMP to check.
