Thanks for posting the colorful photographs... The Altered scene looked alive and well at the National Hot Rod Association's 20th annual California Hot Rod Reunion event... The "RAT TRAP" and the "WINGED EXPRESS" appear to be wowing the crowd in spectacular fashion-- Short wheelbased Altereds never fail to keep drag fans at the edge of their proverbial seats... And the blue "JUNGLE JIM" Camaro, I know from first hand experience, can be quite a healthy handful of Nitro burning whoop ants wrapped up in flip-top fiberglass-- I've seen the car a couple of times at E-Town, and when its charging down the drag strip, running on all eight cylinders, it can be one h*ck of a rush... It's good to see that the Nostalgia drag racing scene is managing to maintain a degree of mainstream popularity among racing fans-- It's certainly important for the history of the sport, that the "old school" contingent doesn't get lost in the "warped speed sauce" of today's brand of modern drag racing-- While these cars aren't necessarily capable of the ETs and speeds that we're seeing from the more current crop of nitro hot rods, I still firmly believe the "old school" deserves to have its place in the sport of drag racing... This is a "good thing" in my opinion... And kudos to NHRA for making Steve Gibbs the honorary grand marshal... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...
