Meltdown Drags!!!!!
6th annual vintage drag meet
July 17-19 2015
Byron Dragway, Byron Illinois
Well the date
is set and Pre-Registration is upon us! If you love Vintage drag
racing this is it folks!! Both Cars, rails, as well as Motorcycles
from 1966 and earlier will be there.
The fine
folks that run this are a group of
like minded guys and gals that simply want to recreate a specific
time in drag racing history. "We choose 1966 and older for
cars and that is the era we want to focus on. A time when
gassers were king!"
For
Motorcycles, they are a bit more open on years, BUT the "Look"
needs to be there, borrowed from Vintage Drag Bikes FB page.. "I
had a man call about rules for vintage Dragbikes again. I told him my
opinion of what it should be. First vintage is vintage, meaning
period correct 4'' tire, stock cases, stock heads any mods OK. Hand
clutch,foot shift, no wheelie bar. Fuel or gas. Bikes that have
vintage engines but run wheelie bar, air shift but stay with 4'' tire
I call mod. vintage."
Vintage
racing is an incredible piece of living history. Instead of
collecting dust in some barn or worse, these machines have been saved
and kept on the track for all to see how it was once done in a time
of imagination and innovation!! Come on out and show your support or
even better, get that Vintage Dragbike running and come out and have
some fun!!!
Here is a fine example, Asshole's Garage Knucklehead Vintage Dragbike
