I took a ride out there tonight as the newspaper said there would be a display across from the Library tonight between 4 and 8 PM but there was nothing there.
I can't go back tomorrow, but I might try for Sunday but not sure on that either.

one of the car guys at work just found out about it tonight too, I guess it is a lack of "communication" as he knows all the local shows and didin't know anything till one of the other drivers told him .

That's Frank Marshall's car. I ran against it several times and have a pic of it in the other lane against my Nova.
The last I heard Frank was living out in Arizona.
Who has the car now?

:D 8) Oswego Il. Dragway-is where I got my start in "Organized" Drag Racing running my 57 Orange Merc-"The Big Animal". that was July 20th. 1969. See: www.animaljimracing.com and click my career gallery. :wink:

Although the track closed at end of 79 season-Oswego Il. Is honoring the memory with a first ever-"Osweg Drag Days" city celebration this weekend. I had people call and tell me that the area papers have pictures of The Big Animal in color and tell how I and others got their start at Oswego Dragway. :wink:

I am going to Oswego Il. this evening to help celebrate those wonderful memeories. :) 8) I hope to see some of my old friends there. :D
