The first attempt to run this years Nostalgia Drags at Willowbank Raceway was thwarted by a cyclone, second time around though Mother Nature was a little kinder. Here are the final round results and packed photo gallery covering the action.
There was a bountiful display of old school muscle on display.
Chris Van’thof was living in the 6.7 zone with his Corvette and took the Top Eliminator trophy over Graham Slapp’s FED in the final.
Plenty of muscle on track as well.
Quick Eliminator went to Neal McLeod’s little altered over a red light Kerry Boyde.
Graham Slapp has certainly had a variety of race cars in his time, now its a sleek FED.
Michael Cook took three wins from as many races in the round robin format for Gas Eliminator, in the final he was unopposed for the win.
