Leslie Long and Gene Mitchell are organizing a Santa Ana Drags reunion for April 18, 2015, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Santiago Creek Park. This event commemorates drag racing at the old dragstrip on the grounds of the Orange County (Santa Ana) Airport from 1950 through 1959. This reunion also celebrates the Main Street Malt Shop reunion, the local hangout for young people back when the drag strip was operating.
There is no charge for attending and parking is free. Light refreshments by Gene Mitchell as his treat. Bring photo albums, programs, car plaques, trophies and any memorabilia that you wish, but you are responsible for what you bring. Also bring notepads, cameras, pens and business cards if you wish. You can also bring your roadster, but check the weather for that day first. Roger Rohrdanz will take a group picture around 12 noon.
Santiago Creek Park is located at Lawson Way and East Memory Lane in Orange, California. For more information contact Richard Parks at 714-963-3557, or send me an email at rnparks1@juno.com.
