We started of with a good sign of what was to come. Our room # matched the car!



I forgot the camera on Friday and it rained in the morning on Saturday, but I got some decent pics.

Early Little Red Wagon wheelie truck.





Survivor cars



 





I hated seeing these in my mirror. NYS state trooper car



I had two of these. 70 Sport Fury GT




This car was rough, but cool. Note top cover.

 









An old friend of mine owns this one. Low 9 second car.


 
Oh, wow. Now THAT I like!!

Thanks for the pics and sharing them!
 
Thanks for posting the pictures. My camera battery died just as I started taking pictures of the 300's and Forward Look cars.
 
Unfortunately, that car had water in it Saturday morning when I looked.

We saw this up close and personal too. I assume they were able to extract the body after all this violence.

Bill "Maverick" Golden crashed that one in Canada in 1975. That was the third version of the truck to be wrecked. IIRC, he did get hurt pretty bad, but he went on racing to retire around 2003.
 
This is a joke, right?
You are telling me THAT is one of the original Little Red Wagons as it looks today?
Holy crap. I'm speechless. How many were there, anyway?
Yah, I know. Wiki.... BRB

I remember seeing the Lil Red Wagon doing full 1/4 mile wheelstands when I was racing at Great Lakes Dragway in Wisconsin in the early 1970's.

I also remember seeing the Hurst Hemi Under Glass too.

Twenty years ago Englishtown did a wheelstander tribute at the Mopar show. An incredible experience it was.
 
Twenty years ago I was already twenty years out of drag racing. Now it's tributes to tributes....
 
There was a wheel standing studebaker at the track this weekend. 1/4 mile wheelstand... Boring.......

There was a 7 second astro van though that was fun to watch.
