I took my 65 Fairlane down for a look a few weeks ago. Very Cool idea. Turnout was light but the entire idea brings you back to the 50’s. They built a large building( open front ) that has a lot of car stuff hanging on the walls and Cold beer for sale !! Food vendor also. They had a great rockabilly band playing and when they took a break they had a guy spinning REAL records. Nice young girl doing flag starts on the 1/8th . They are showing old school car movies after dark. Thumbs up ! 😀
Here’s ALL THE INFO …tons of photos …..:Click on this:
