Spring Preview (Drag Racing Part 3)

... crazy weather of late - below zero temperatures mid-week - today the outdoor thermometer is currently reading 56degreesF (from a high earlier of 58degreesF) with bright sunshine - nice day - "short-sleeve weather" - might as well post some more photos from last September and 'Nostalgia Day' over at 'Pittsburgh Raceway Park', which we have been meaning to do...

... some track action...

... '60's Chevelle...

... Ford Fairlane ('67?) - very nice...

... 'Hemi' Plymouth and Chevy Nova SS...

... Chevy Camaro ('69?)...

... gotta' post this one - '71 Chevelle SS - (see '400 Horsepower Nostalgia - Part II') - "boohoo - sobsob!!"...

... a track icon - B&R Speed Shop's Nova SS...

... man, ya' can't get enough of those old '50's Chevys...

... '52!!...

... '30's-'40's Ford Coupe and John Milner?...

... another crankin' '60's Fairlane...

... '55-'57 Chevy smokin' a '70's Ford Maverick - HA! - good memories - first car ever owned was a Maverick identical to that - alas, six-cylinder engine - didn't matter at the time - seventeen years old - that car saw more action while parked, anyway...

... '50's Chevy and '70's Pontiac Firebird...

... they eventually bring out the 'rails' to work up the crowd...

... aka - 'Southern Slingshots'... 

... and finally, a crowd pleasing 'Funny Car' "crescendo" - the track photographer in action as well...

... funny car close up...

... those things scream...

... gotta' give 'Pittsburgh Raceway Park' ten stars out of five for a good time - it's just like "livin' in America" - enjoy it while it lasts...
