Hi,
My name is Sonny and I live just outside of philly. I have been a fan of drag racing (not a racer) since the mid 60's. Hatfield, PA, speedway/drag strip was the hot spot then. Got to see a lot of rising stars.
My job involved a lot of traveling. When the rest of the guys would run out to dinner on Wednesday nights or visit area attractions on lay over weekends...I would grab a rental car and find the local drag strip.
It may have been a just a normal weekend, or a national event or if I was really lucky, a great nitro match racing night! Boy I do miss the match races or booked in nitro events. Anyway, what do I know, liability insurance, lawyers, change things. I'm told that is progress.
Glad that stumbled across this site.
Wish all a happy and safe holiday season, Sonny

Thanks for the welcome guys.
