I am curious , is this McFarland drag strip event replacing the Tulare event or is it in addition to it ? Tulare is a lot closer to where I live.

From Langley, BC: 1,090 miles to Tulare, 1,134 miles to Famoso Drag Strip. So yes, 44 miles closer. 🙂

Let’s make this a success this year

and for many years to come.


I was asked to give an interview 

a couple years ago at a prewar 

swap meet Jim organized so

I know firsthand what he puts

together for our hobby …

The bar has a full-sized Cadillac El Dorado convertible hanging against the back wall. 

What year is the Eldorado?

Apologies. I must have had too many drinks at the bar. I thought the car was a Caddie, but after downloading some pics it's actually a circa-1974 Pontiac Grand Prix. In my defense, about half of the captions about the car call it a Cadillac. 

 

Whatever, it's the dominant presence in the bar.

 

And the chicken-fried steak is still the best you can get. 

 

Here's some photos.
