York, PA - March 1, 2009
The stimulus package for nostalgia and drag racing history buffs includes a blast from the past with one of the finest line-ups of legendary race cars and personalities to be gathered at one show at one time during the 8th Annual Musclecar Madness at the York Reunion to be held at the York Expo Center, York Fairgrounds, 334 Carlisle Ave., York, PA on July 10-11, 2009.
The newly restored Cougar Air Lift Rattler II funny car of Eddie Schartman will start stimulating an anxious crowd of nostalgia fans to kick off a strong blast from the past.
Paul and Pam Balash will debut their newly restored '41 Willys coupe that will be completed for York and unveiled at a special ceremony at 2:30 p.m. on Friday. The new car replaces the gorgeous car that was stolen in Tennessee last June while the couple was on their way home from the NHRA event in Beech Bend, KY.
The stimulating continues with a special showing of one of the 50 special new Cobra Jets that were built by Ford and debuted at the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, California in February.
Joining the Salute to Ford at the show will be Hubert Platt, Tommy Grove, Phil Bonner, Al Joniec, Earl Wade, Sam Auxier, Jr., Bob Tasca, Sr., Dick Estevez and the list goes on.
The East and West Memorial Halls will be chock full of excitement with two of Wally Booth's great pro stockers, his AMX and Gremlin, in addition to, Doug Thorley's Javelin funny car.
Further stimulus is provided by Kenny Warren's "Virginia Twister" funny car and the "Dixie Twister" funny car of Houston Platt.
Giving the Ford salute a further flair is the Pete Peterson '69 Ford Boss Mustang that recently sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona for $180,000.
The outside Cruisin' Into Summer cruise in will feature over 600 street musclecars and street rods under the auspices of the staff of Cruisin' Columbia.
The event annually supports the York County SPCA with proceeds from a special memorabilia auction on Saturday, from special voting canisters at each entrants car, and special 50-50 drawings held throughout the show. The goal is to raise $6,000.
The show opens on Friday, July 10 at 1 p.m. until 8 p.m. and continues on Saturday, July 11 from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. All active servicemen and women will be admitted free upon presenting their military i.d. at the ticket windows.
