Title: Drag Day Pictures 3-14-10 Post by: Rennsurfer on March 15, 2010, 07:57:24 am Southern California was blessed with outstanding weather, this morning. A nice change from the onslaught of rain storms, lately. Irwindale Raceway filled up quickly. I didn't get any action race shots because I was too busy talking to people. Many of which I haven't seen in a long while and others that I recently met. For those that couldn't make the event, a few pictures.
Pip makes sure that Jesse's tires have the correct inflation. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Pip.jpg) Jesse, in the return lane after making a pass.

(http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310DKP.jpg) Cool Bus with old dealer name that many So Cal residents will no doubt remember. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Bus2.jpg) Toyo Fastback. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Toyo.jpg) Close up and personal look at an early fifties Type 1. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Split.jpg) Worm's car got a new interior. Pretty cool, methinks. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Worm.jpg) Supercharger, anyone? (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310SC.jpg) Tastefully done Karmann Ghia for sale. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Ghia.jpg) We had two DEEKS in the swap meet area, which was a great location for our food. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Carne.jpg) Eight of the Kampfwagens made it out for the event. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310DKK.jpg) Split window reflection time. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Split2.jpg) More early high performance stuff. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Engine.jpg) Nice decklid & badge combo on Ben's Panzer. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Ben.jpg) Speaking of nice...check this out. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310356.jpg) This nicely done Bus was the bbq center for the D.B.K. camp. Super deep Sprintstars out back, too. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Bus.jpg) And two of examples of these rarely seen vehicles made appearances. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Brasilia.jpg) Oh yeah... turns out, today was some sort of International Pi Day. Personally, due to my lack of math skills/knowledge, I've honestly never heard of such a day. So Mr. & Mrs. Meredith thought it best to supply us DEEKS with what else? Pies! Thanks to everyone that provided the tasty food, by the way. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Pie.jpg) Just in case I ever have the need for a 1967 Type 1 in front of a King Taco location, this image will be here for reference. (http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/Events/DD0310Mine.jpg) Please feel free to post up any of your Drag Day pics, here. Had fun hanging out with you all.

Fabian, yes... Worm needs a bare foot pedal for the other two. Perfect for summer cruises before or after surfing. Title: Re: Drag Day Pictures 3-14-10 Post by: John Rayburn on March 16, 2010, 05:12:57 am Thanks Dave!
