2012 DLN 7 CORVODA, ILL

[pro70z28]

[
The WS is the same age as Norm Wellman & myself. 59th annual this year. I could be wrong but I think that beats Pomona by 1 year?

This year (2012) Pomona will be 52nd
US Nationals will be 58th

Cordova WSOD is 59th. – I may be mistaken, but I believe the World Series is the longest continuously held dragracing event in the country. I can't wait till they get their 2012 schedule up, I'm dying to see WHO all, and WHAT all, they will have at the W S this year.

Yup, your right Zap. I couldn't remember which one was right on the heals of the WS, I new it was just a year difference. BTW: I am still 58 for well over a month yet.

Like BP says YES. We all talked it over last year and 100% in favor. Lots of good points:

1)TWO nites of racing - big shows instead of just local bracket cars
2) full 1/4 mi. track
3) nite racing should be cooler, much more comfortable
4)Be able to meet new D'LISTERS, Rapid & Animal Jim R usually booked in + Purple66 was there last year + Bret announces
5) closer for all except Iowa Al, and Rock, but they both said they would be there
6)Easy for you to get "non-stop" to Chicago Boyd. (HINT) ***Don't forget ya got TWO airports MIDWAY and O'HARE to choose from***
7) TWO malls for the gals to explore (1 each day) one has their favorite "CATO'S"
The quad cities to sightsee - for us that go early. (we pretty much covered E-Ville and Oskaloosa)
9) It's the end of Aug. so one more month to save up

Bad points.............
Whats not to like???

It sounds great!!! Like the 2 day big event deal and getting to meet more members at one time! Cool! If my life and income get better, you can count us in!!!
