The 30th of May 99 found your dear old webmaster and trusted side-kick "Long Haul Balls" (LHB) cruising up I-270 in my old ragtop Jeep. �Our destination was the 75 & 80 Dragway somewhere in the rolling hills west of Baltimore, north of Damascus and south of Frederick. � Well, the top was down and the�weather was super! �A great�day for a drive�through�the Maryland countryside especially when�driving to a dragstrip and car show! � I had been remiss and not attended a dragrace in a long time. �I had forgotten about the thrill of screaming Chevy engines, the loud roar of uncorked headers, and the smell of burning tires. � Here's a couple photos courtesy of LHB. �Enjoy!��� |
