Just got back from Larson's... another great day up there... only drawback was not getting to talk to everyone I wanted to... in fact, I SAW several people at a distance that I wasn't able to get to! But it was great...

Same Day Bakersfield Coverage on Racin' & Rockin' This Week!
General
We had a lot of fun on tonight's show. Hal Sanguinetti was amazing from Bakersfield and nailed it first time. What a pro. I hope we can work with him some more. There was one guy who I envisioned him cornering and interviewing and he GOT him -- Chris "The Greek" Karamesines... what a terrific 'get!' Plus Norm Weekly of the Frantic Four, Jerry the King Ruth, Bob Muravez (AKA Floyd Lippencott, Jr.), Ken Hirata of Hirata and Hobbs, Steve Gibbs, George The Stone Age Man Hutcheson... what a great list of guests! Plus callers Ted Pappacena of Drag Racing Imagery, author Todd Hutcheson, and more... super show! Thanks to regulars John Bockelman, Danny White, Dustin Gilder, for making this a great show! (And thanks to all our friends on the live chat line for their support, too!)

Standard 1320 Group Founder Lee Schelin on Racin' & Rockin' This Week!

Thanks to Lee for being a great guest. Thanks to Jeff and Danny for pulling together some great music and a great drag racing list of the week on short notice!
Standard 1320 Group Founder Lee Schelin on Racin' & Rockin' This Week!
General
On Friday night, October 8, 8-10 PM Eastern Time, Racin' & Rockin' with Draglist.com brings you a conversation with Lee Schelin, the founder of the Standard 1320 online drag racing group. Lee and a few friends founded the Standard 1320 eGroup in early 1998. Since then, it has grown to more than 300 members, whose ages range from 20 to over 80 years old. They represent chassis builders, drivers, car owners, engine builders, manufacturers, photographers, writers, and fans alike. One of the intents of the group is to preserve the history of the "Drag News Years" (1955 through 1971). The group's common bond is a love for these early years of drag racing, when cars were unique and backyard engineering was the norm. Lee has some great ideas about taking drag racing back to its roots. If you love drag racing from the golden era (and would like to see some of that era return, don't miss this show!)But first, Danny White brings us the Drag Racing List of the Week: The Top Ten Gas Dragsters of all time! We know that Lee is a big fan of the gas burning diggers from the 50s and early 60s, so in his honor, we'll list the top "blackie carbon" racers!And since the Standard 1320 group concentrates on the period 1955 to 1971, Hit Records with John Bockelman will split the difference! We'll discuss the top songs on the Billboard charts from 1963, right smack dab in the middle of the Standard 1320 era! Throughout the show, Jeff and Dustin Gilder will spin extended clips of the top songs from that great year...BE THERE (or be SQUARE, Daddy-O!)Racin' & Rockin' with Draglist.comFridays, 8-10 PM Eastern Time(7-9 Central, 6-8 Mountain, 5-7 Pacific)LISTEN ON THE INTERNET: http://dragracersreunion.ning.com/ (Click the Racers Reunion Radio box)TOLL FREE CALL IN: 1-877-500-9387LISTEN BY PHONE: 1-347-884-9756JOIN OUR LIVE CHAT during the show: http://dragracersreunion.ning.com/ SEND QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS: radio@draglist.comWE NOW HAVE ARCHIVES AND PODCASTS OF OUR EARLIER SHOWS! http://www.racersreunionradio.com/archive.php Your hosts: Bill Pratt, Danny White, John Bockelman, George HutchesonUPCOMING SHOWS:10/15 - California Hot Rod Reunion - LIVE at the Doubletree with Hal Sanguinetti!10/22 - Still confirming...10/29 - Replay: Don Garlits and others discuss his 1971 Lions clutch explosion and the development of his rear engine dragster!11/05 - 1989 Funny Car World Champion, USA-1 Bruce Larson!Bill Pratt http://www.draglist.com
