I had the opportunity to see many of these great cars run at the "Gasser Reunion" at Thompson Drag Strip in '08 & '09.
I was really disappointed when the "Gasser Reunion" (in June) moved to Summit Raceway Park in 2010 & then moved again to Beaver Springs Dragway this past Summer. The "Gasser Nationals" (in September) which used to be held at Thompson was also moved.
Thompson was a really
great place to hold a "gasser event". Thompson is an "old school" styled drag strip with racing how it used to be. Without hosting the Gasser Reunion & Gasser Nationals (organized by the Mid West Willys Club/Gasser Magazine) I heard Thompson had its own "gasser events" this past Summer but did not hear how attendance was.... ????
Wonder how the Beaver Springs "Gasser Reunion" at Beaver Springs & the "Gasser Nationals" which moved to Marion County Raceway turned out this past Summer?
Supposedly the
best gasser/nostalgia drags/show are the
NHRA Hot Rod Reunion held in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
