I have to somewhat agree with my pal Zappy on the PHR meets at 131 in Michigan, but my all-time best non-national event was in 1972, at Tri-City Dragway in mid-Michigan. I was a track worker at TCD and we hosted an NHRA Division 3 points meet. This was back when all the fuel funny cars and dragsters had to run a few points meets a year to gain entry into the World Finals. (Seems the finals were held out in Tulsa, OK). Ours was the last Div 3 points meet of the year, and the meet was held only on Saturday. I arrived at the track at 7 AM and there were cars already lined up at the gate. And they just kept coming all day. Fuel Funny Cars, TF dragsters, I wish I could remember all the names. I do remember not getting home until about 2 AM on Sunday. Never have been so exhausted. I could tell an interesting story about an incident with a certain division director, and a security guard, but I won't. Suffice it to say I used all of my diplomat skills to prevent any injuries. Ahhhhh, the good ol days!Pop Hot Rod Championships - US 131 dragway
