Secret Pro Stock Stuff

Mopar Mile-High Nationals, Denver, CO -- Greg Anderson and Jason Line were hiding their Pro Stockers behind some sort of curtains. I guess some top secret stuff is going on with their cars that they don’t want the other teams to know about. I think Anderson and Line should be finding out what the other teams have been doing lately since they seem to have the winning edge over this KB Racing team. Stay Tuned!

7-7-7 Hot Rod Show at Irwindale Dragstrip in Southern California

The 7-7-7 Hot Rod Show at Irwindale Dragstrip was a huge success and a lot of fun for all. There were  nostalgia drag cars, which included Stone, Woods & Cook 1941 Willys, nitro dragsters, altereds and funny cars, plus live music, great exhibits and “Poorman’s Bikini Beach Summer Nationals” and a lot of great action packed drag racing, oh yeah, did I mention the tasty hot dogs.

The Cackelfest which featured some memorable front engine dragsters and altereds was awesome, it brought back memories of the good old days of  (OCIR) Orange County International Raceway in Southern California. There was also a wheelstander truck called “E Ticket Ride” sponsored by “Pick Your Part.” The crowd went crazy when “E Ticket Ride” went down the track blasting sparks and blowing flames from the headers.

Irwindale dragstrip is a great eight-mile track, and believe me, Southern California drag racers appreciate this track very much. Irwindale Dragstrip Website
