The one I'm talking about is at St. Louis Internation Speedway. They've got the oval, a road race course and the strip. The strips been there since I was a kid. used to go with my dad. One of my heros growing up was Big Daddy Don Garlits!! Loved dragsters, funny cars were for punks who couldn't take handle the dragsters!! Rember the rockets cars, man they just shook up your whole inards when they went screaming by!

Might your annual gathering have potential to become a National?
Heck, if timing is right and planning works out good, you may have others from all over attend! I would be interested in planing a vacation trek across the USA and make an HHR G2G a destination stop!

Seriously though, we are hoping to draw from all over. The long range plans even more so if we can pull off what we're hoping for.
Be great to see you, Mr. B. and casper!
