Welcoming back our first event sponsor for the 2012 Fall Fest- TA Performance Thank you TA for supporting the Fall Fest. I ask you all to support them.
Steve Curry and I should both be there! Steve, you didn't go with the two day event you talked of last November?
Alan was known in SoCal for driving a 442 drag car....I've seen his pic on the Speedworld website before...I will see if I can round up a pic for ya!
The Olds guys usually have a pretty good showing. Two guys usually pull over from the San Diego area. One has a 9 second late model Calais (I think) and the other is a black 70 442 that runs in the 11's. They both said they'd be back this year. Especially with the race on Saturday it gives more people time to get home if they're from out of town. Maybe with TA back as a sponsor we can get more than the normal 4 Buicks racing!
This is a more current pic of Alan's ride (Click on pic to enlarge). I knew him in the early 80's in Anaheim Ca. He worked at Rogers Automotive with his dad...I will see if I can dig up an old pic...He lives here in AZ now, in Chino Valley
