road trip time

I have new tires and a fresh front-end alignment on my 56 F100 so I'm thinking road trip. Shadyside Dragway in Shelby NC is having gasser drags this Saturday, April 29. That's about an hour- hour and a quarter drive for me. A buddy will probably go and drive his 34 Plymouth coupe. The weather forcast is for clear skies and 88 degree temps.
Anybody else going?

Heck no, I'm just going to watch. I wouldn't want to break something, especially with an audience. And have to be hauled home. The club that puts on these gasser events usually have a "special" parking area for spectators with rides like ours. Some events also have a swap meet area.

Sounds like fun! Report back with pics of you and your truck at the dragstrip.
