| Old Dominion Speedway Drag Racing Reunion |
August 17, 2008Old Dominion Speedway Manassas VaDrag Racing Reunion Good times were had by all in attendance at this years nostalgia drags, car show and reunion at ODS, the first dragstrip in the east! I want to send big thank yous out to Larry, and Jimmy Crabtree, and a big FUCK YOU to the dozen Harley riders who passed me by broken down on the side of the road on my way to the speedway (turns out I blew a main fuse, no biggie, back on the road in 10 miniutes). See ya there next year when I may get up the balls to take a few runs on the 1/8 mile dragstrip. |
